What units are going to go on the various prongs of our attack?
Up north we plan to have three galleons, in the middle (on the tile 1S of Nuremburg) a 2-mover stack for the assault on stray geese and down south one galleon.
We have 10 drafted Muskets, 2 5XP knights 3 catapults and a Mace (none of which can be amphibious) on the island already. Issy will pump out a cat eot188, a pike eot189, a 5XP Musket eot190, a 5XP Cuir eot191 and Galleons eot192 and 193. Nuremburg could switch from the forge to the pike it's been building, but won't have much production from next turn, Om has other things to do, France doesn't make a lot of hammers, but can whip something once it's university is done... Perhaps a galley to improve the ferrying of units? Rorke will whip out a galley t191 or so for the southern assault.
Transport from the mainland is our limiting factor for 2-movers. A knight and a cuir can hop on BoP's first galley t189, the second galley can shuttle units over at 2 per turn from t192 onward, which gets us six more in position by our deadline of t194 (maybe more if we can afford to upgrade this galley too). So add an Amphibious Cuir and seven Amphibious Knights to our stock:
- 10 Muskets
- 2 Knights
- 1 Cuir
- 4 Cats
- 2 Pikes
- 1 Amphibious Musket
- 1 Amphibious Cuir
- 7 Amphibious Knights
I think that gives us a breakdown like this:
On the northern galleons (Spring Breeze, Talk of the Town, others):
- 1 Amphibious Musket
- 4 Amphibious Knights
- 2 Muskets
In the middle (stray Geese):
- 2 Knights
- 1 Cuir
- 2 Amphibious knights (obv don't need to be, so can take other promotions)
Down south on the galleon (Eyes, then Playing with Fire, then The Evening Boat):
- 1 Amphibious Cuir
- 1 Amphibious knight
- 1 Musket
With the rest tagging along behind to reinforce things. If we take Stray Geese with only three units then the two spares can join our other force NW of Eyes to threaten Playing with Fire. This seems a bit stretched, so I think another galley out of France to ferry six more units could be vital. Of course we need to have a decent force on the mainland too, to deter an attack from Mack. Decisions, decisions.
We can switch to slavery/vassalage t189 or 190, I'd go for the earlier date if we're worried about Mackoti and the later if not for the extra turn of caste workshops...
