Someone else's shoes [spoilers]

I am going to lose this game; Mining Inc. has ensured that by pushing Adrien's Production up close to 2x mine. We're racing techs towards a Spaceship launch, but while I am putting ~50% of my production into Wealth builds to keep up, he is finishing SS parts and churning out Modern Armour. I have Aerial superiority and a Sirian Navy placed to wreck havoc, but he has two monstrous stacks of mixed Tanks & Modern Armour that I fear would run through me if I made a preemptive strike. I'd happily concede right now, but I think Adrien wants to play it out and I guess I don't mind too much doing that.

OTOH, Picklepikkl has started moving one of his Tank stacks around in a concerning manner and we are still at war. I started offering him a white Peace every couple of turns since it would have given me more options on the Adrien front (and getting rid of the WW would help), but have not received any reply - not that he has any incentive to declare Peace after I knocked him out of contention. Ultimately that has proven to be a costly move on my part as it's locked me into a 1v2 scenario that I can't win. I will concede if Pickle makes an aggressive move at me, as then there would be no chance to compete with Adrien's Space race.

Yeah, these would do it:




There's a whole bunch of upgrades in those stacks too.

(Temporary) bright side, they actually seem to be maneuvering towards Picklepikkl....

Snow Shoes and Ice Skates were taken. The first was a write-off of course, but I liberated Ice Skates and wiped out his looming stack on that front (although he does have the Ice Skates stack to come back). There was a small (~dozen) stack of mostly Tanks advancing on my Shrine city, which fell to combined air power and my own Tanks - oh, don't forget the Catapults - but the big stack came through Picklepikkl's territory in the West and stood at the doors of Kitten Heels. That had all his Artillery as well as a huge pile of Modern Armour & Tanks and to cap it off it was protected by Pickle's ridiculous Air Force, so no way to effectively strike at it. So it was pull most of the able forces out and had out upgrades to as many Tanks as possible.

Also Whips and Drafting.

Oh, and I razed 2 cities in Gingerland and one of Adrien's core coastal cities. I also misplayed an attack at a second core city and fell 1 unit short of razing that as well.

And of course Picklepikkl piled in and took Winklepickers (not remotely defensible), but hasn't advanced further ... yet.
