Turn 244
Well this is quite exciting. Although dtay is drafting again, so he'll be a bit of a tough nut to crack. He's reinforced the vulnerable border cities too so this won't be a walkover. It looks like Commodore will play before dtay and declare, then dtay responds, then we make it a 3-way split. If Com doesn't declare next turn what do you want to do?
This is going to be where we make our real inroads. I used a Privateer to kill the scouting Caravel, just to ensure that the Destroyers don't get discovered. Next turn the four destroyers will kill three ironclads and an SOTL, then three nav 1 ironclads will kill another three SOTL leaving him with two SOTL and five Frigates, then we'll fork the capital and another couple of cities.
The main land-based front is going to be tricky to judge - with 30 Kannone in place for dtay we have a Cannon- and cat-heavy stack, there are about 30 hitters in this stack with another 9 cav between LB and Jamestown, 10 infantry and some mounted units in Jamestown and another ten or so useful units in Endor.
The idea on this front isn't to throw everything into the meat grinder though. Our naval adventures should give us a GG, next turn we can 1-turn Military Science (unless we want to grab Artillery), then we can have about seven commando infantry crossing the border on dtay's newly-built railroads, or a morale commando to probe deeper into enemy territory, looking for empty cities to raze (marked here with a zero).
