Dnuts left a boat in view - well we know what to do with that.



Move an artillery unit to the mountain - bomb 3/3 galleon to 1/3.
Bomber from Phi Beta Kappa sinks it.

There is a warrior on the mountain and another galleon SW of Apple Crumb.

I try out the fighter's recon as far as it can go. Interesting, but it really needs more range.



Move a transport from Ithaca to check out the situation. Looks like Dnuts are blockading their coast - lots of juicy bomber targets if they leave them.



It looks like KISS may be doing the same thing.



Continue forestry operations.

Rebase bombers - one is still in Phi Beta Kappa (used to bomb), 2 moved to April Fools, 3 moved to Ithaca, one to Rhodes.

Play with the cities - the following towns should complete bombers next turn: Black Hole, Heron, EMP City, Meleagerville, Antville, Ephebe, Phoenopolis, Filiatra, Pale Dove,

Science goes down another notch to 20% with Mass Production due in 2.

3/3 galleon west of Apple Crumb redlined by an artillery and sunk by a bomber.

and sunk by a bomber.

That ought to get a reaction overseas!!!

I want to use bombers instead of rebasing them when I can, so I check the range of our new bombers. Several of them can't reach land, but they can reach boats, so let's sink some boats - it will be tough for them to assemble much of an attack party unless their troops can swim...

Bomber from Black Hole bombs 3/3 galleon W-NW of Jam Filled - sinks it. There is another galleon W of Jam Filled in the fog.
Bomber from EMP City bombs 3/3 galleon S of Apple Crumb - sinks it.
Bomber from Antville bombs 2/2 infantry SE of Apple Crumb - kills him. There are also conscript infantry N and NW of Jam Filled.
Bomber from Ephebe bombs 2/2 infantry N of Apple Crumb - kills him.
Bomber from Phoenopolis bombs 2/2 infantry NE-NE of Apple Crumb - to 1/2.
Bomber from Rhodes bombs 1/2 infantry NE-NE of Apple Crumb - kills him.
Bomber from Ithaca bombs 2/2 infantry SE-SE of Glazed - kills him.
Bomber from Ithaca bombs 2/2 infantry SE of Glazed - kills him. There is a 4/4 infantry in Glazed and a Mounted Warrior NE of Glazed.
Bomber from Phi Beta Kappa bombs 2/2 infantry NW of Glazed - hit, but I don't know if we did 1 damage or 2 because it is in the fog.
Final bomber from Ithaca bombs 2/2 infantry NE of Apple Crumb - to 1/2.

Bomber from April Fools bombs 4/4 KISS MDI - to 1/4. South of Malice is a KISS 2/2 rifle and some other unit. South of the MDI is a DNut cavalry.
Bomber from April Fools bombs 1/4 KISS MDI and kills him.

Bombers from Heron and Meleagerville rebased to April Fools.
Bomber from Pale Dove rebased to Lost Civ's Bulwark.

I forgot the bomber from Filiatra - bombs 3/3 Dnuts galleon W of Glazed - sinks it. There is another galleon NW of Glazed.



Forestry operations continue.

Play with the cities. The following cities should produce bombers next turn: Athens, Virtuoso, Olympia, Hindus River, and Swamp Shepherd.

Cities that can get 2 spt, I short-rushed using infantry so the bombers will complete on 207. Spent 116 gold in Sword of General_W, 4 gold in Tower of Azzaman, 84 gold in Strider's Revenge, and 188 gold in TNT Redemption.

Science has to stay at 20% - hire a bunch of taxmen, but leave 12 extra scientists.

Move some boats first to see what is going on. Then recon with the fighter.

Plenty of targets on land to hit, no boats in view. Lots of workers building a line of fortresses - they will have time to complete them and build barricades before we land. Does that affect our plans? I don't think so - we just need enough bombers to knock down one or two of them, but if I'm missing something, let me know

Oh, well, we will continue to accumulate their war weariness points on easy targets then, but still empasize infantry when we see them in the open.

I'm not entirely certain all of those are accurate - visibility is limited. I tried to bomb adjacent tiles all the time so I could see what happened on the previous run, but it is very confusing.

Join a bunch of workers to towns - picked towns like Day 2 Kissoff that can immediately get an extra specialist or towns like Last Resistance that can grow above size 6 but aren't there yet.

I brought our native workforce down to 111 workers. I can't find any more useful places to add workers, so the rest will have to be disbanded, but I didn't disband any this turn.

I start the bomber rushing. I was going to wait until next turn, but I really am getting impatient to start doing some real damage instead of just picking off a handful of units per turn. I spent about 1448 gold rushing 16 bombers in corrupt towns.

Workers went back to clearing jungle, irrigating, and railroading (although after clearing jungle, they planted a forest before chopping it down and irrigating).

We gained a lot of specialists from the worker joins. I change a lot of scientists to taxmen - we will get Amphibious War in 2 regardless, but I want more money next turn instead of saving it all until the turn after.

I didn't go quite as crazy disbanding workers as I planned. I used worker disbands to top off a few builds that were close, but when it got to a point where it would take another 20 or so workers in 1 town to get one extra bomber, I stopped, so we still have 90 native workers.

I believe we should complete another 24 bombers next turn.

Our 3 frigates near Dnuts are redlined. I guess it is possible that it was done by privateers, but it is far more likely that it was done by artillery - it seems Dnuts may take sending battle logs as seriously as they take playing the turn timely .

Convert all scientists except 1 to taxmen.

Rebase bombers that can't reach the spots we want to damage next turn, generally putting them all in Ithaca and April Fools.

13 cavalry.
4 marines.
1 settler.
