[Empiremaker]

What makes you think so? I'm not trying to be offensive, but I don't see how we have violated that rule.

EDIT: Ginger, its nice to see you monitoring this game.

We have not delivered the knock-out punch that was needed to weaken Gong. We can airlift 6 units overseas. Reinforcements by sea are several turns away.

We are going to lose our foothold in Gong unless something changes. We are still Strong compared to Gong (at the start of Turn 209) but they have the greater numbers and will just kill our units by attrition.

I suggest that we contact The Council. They have ships in the area that could bombard Yellow Brick Road and weaken the defenders. They have 2 Cruisers and a Carrier in the area.

We could offer them Techs (Amphibious Warfare and Rocketry) or gold (we have 2346 in the bank) or Whiskeytown.

We could then attack Yellow Brick road with our Tanks, then airlift in vInfantry to defend the city. By then it will be size 3 and less likely to flip.

 

[Ginger_Ale]

I was asking because Team GONG felt it unusual that war weariness wasn't crippling you guys and your ability to airlift and build airports. In any case, thanks for your reply.

 

[Empiremaker]

How did team GONG get the info about our cities? And, i didn't check the save, but Kuningas said he would build airfields with workers to airlift our units over.

CG: I would be wary about asking the Council for help. At this point, our foothold is lost. We can build a sizeable force of tanks again in 4-5 turns, with mech infantry thrown in. We still have our transports, and can ferry a force over. GONG may have less units in their north next time we invade, and we could attack there. If we attack before mechs, we can build TOW's (def 14) to defend our cities. Plus WW should be hurting GONG. I don't know why it doesn't appear to be hitting us full force yet. are the WW rules changed in PBEM?

Take our lumps and regroup?

 

[Empiremaker]

Take our lumps and regroup?

Exactly. GONG is still a number of techs behind us, and if they invade us, we have enough tanks and infantry to deal with whatever they throw at us. Is there any way to get another luxury? Before our next invasion, it would be good to use of SGL so that we can get MGLs. How many tanks are we building per turn on average?

 

[Kuningas]

WW has not yet hitted us. We don't get WW from losing captured cities.

 

[Empiremaker]

We don't. I always thought you did, and if my memory serves me correctly I experience WW after losing captured cities in normal games. Does this rule only apply to PBEM's?
