The Underdogs

[Imperator Knoedel]

Talk about piling on... Turkey declares on the nuclear ravaged Venezuelan empire

Oh boy, just wait until Mexico and Libya join in. They demanded some ridiculous tribute from me and I told them to take a hike some turns ago.

 

[Tigranes]

They seem to be too busy playing Ring Around The Rosy with their armies to bother doing anything helpful for you in this war.

They DID bother after all

 

[methinkso]

Yes they did arrive, rather unexpectedly. I threw together a rather hasty defense force to the south and am hopeful that I will be able to hold the line but we shall see what happens with the new month.

 

[kiwitt]

You'll be in trouble!

 

[Nighthawk419]

And the problem you now have is fighting on two fronts - the Americans from the south, and Iraqis from the north. There can't be enough Kenyans to stop all of them.

And I was correct - Biera falls to the Americans! Obviously if kenya is going to lose cities, theyd much rather it be to the AI than a human opponent. But how far will they let this go?

 

[Tigranes]

If Americans will act smart Kenya will follow Venezuela. I keep guessing where that stack came from, so well organized, close to South Africa, but no Transports around. Did they make it all the way across Atlantic from Miami?

 

[methinkso]

KiwiTT, if you expect me to simply give you one of my cities, you are sorely mistaken.

It seems everyone wants a piece of Kenya now.

 

[Tigranes]

thats how life works, unfortunately. Even in civ there is a famous quote saying Sure, kick a civ when its down...

Don't say I did not warn you!

gps to Maliki.

Nice Mr Putin gave me an iron resource but he couldn't even remember the name of my country.

Meanwhile a very pesky and busy terrorist has been eliminated by recently commissioned special forces.

This just after a nuclear attack on my country. This busy terrorist (destruction of mines; killing workers, etc) followed the Tigranes quoted philosophy above... 'kick a civ when it's down'....

However Nursultan of Kazakhstani has now established an anti terrorist academy.

 

[Nighthawk419]

WOW - well I have to say thank you to the Congo for coming up with nuclear weapons and dropping it on Kenya for me. Kampala falls easily to the Iraqis. Nairobi quickly finished off by the Americans.

 

[methinkso]

Nukes! Well that was a gross oversight on my part! I'd have to see my turn to confirm, but I'm sure I'm well and screwed now.

 

[methinkso]

Actually, I'm very confused as to how the Americans took Nairobi. There were no troops anywhere near that city on the previous turn. Is it possible to air drop troops and attack with them on the same turn or something like that?

 

[Tigranes]

I was thinking hard about the same thing, because it is very rare when AI actually surprises me. No it is not possible.

Edit. Ok I know the answer. USA had somewhere a single superpromoted Navy Seal with Comandos, my Sub shows there was only 1 defender in Nairobi and bunch of planes. So there!

Glad to help a friend. Sorry about the devastation to the city.

When you get a chance, would you like to help me with pesky (AI) Libya.

Nukes! Well that was a gross oversight on my part! I'd have to see my turn to confirm, but I'm sure I'm well and screwed now.

You were warned!

If you had given me Kampala, you may have being able to use your forces for other roles like protecting more important cities, and now you have lost both.

Actually it was a commando modern armor, it zipped right on those enemy railroads!

Not a problem, its actually not all THAT devastated. I'd be glad to help you with Libya if you can convince my master Obama to go to war...

and all of THIS is why I didnt break free from my master! Venezuala got crushed, now Kenya is getting wiped out. And I've barely made any military units

 

[Hercules90]

Mr Putin offers sheep (or was it cow) resource to Kazakhstan and it was accepted. Still waiting invite to Kremlin for lunch though.

Meanwhile terrorist activity stopped but an embedded spy destroyed a factory.

Meanwhile Leader Nursultan is puzzled by sudden arrival of 2 'special advisors (kwim). Special friends I assume?

 

[Nighthawk419]

The Americans seem prepared to hand Nairobi back over to Kenya... its emptied out! However this isnt something you see every day:

Barack Obama launches a tactical nuke, and it explodes!

Iraq will not be handing back over its newest prized possession!

 

[Tigranes]

Whom did they nuke? 2+ units left in Ethiopia?

Actually I destroyed the two Americans units in the city, only to discover too late that a gunship cannot capture a city. If I had realized that ahead of time, I would have attacked with my gunship first so my mech infantry could have captured the city on the second attack.
