Turn 267
Possibly the final turn of the game and there is a touch of damp squib about it for us. dtay used Cavalry, Artillery and infantry to wipe out our stack - I wonder what we should have landed instead - or perhaps nothing would have done the job? The battle list reads from left to right. Also look what Commodore gave us in return for our Commandos.
The upside of this is that he's left a mere 8 Infantry in Sewer Jack. We have six Airships in range and Commodore had hit the seventh so our stack of 9 Cuirs and 18 Cav *should* clean up with about six or seven to spare. In my three sims I lost 7/7/7 Cuirs and 3/2/2 Cavalry in the process and any surviving units will be easy prey for Dtay's units. But these 2-movers are going out of style anyway...
Since survivors are likely to be killed anyway I'll promote CII and Pinch where possible.

And we burn the city!
This stack of injured Cavalry is probably dead, but they served their purpose.
I revolted to Vassalage (costs 100 beakers and saves us 50 gold) so that we can get 16XP units out of Jamestown. I think I'm going to sprinkle the Great General XP because there might be another opportunity for hitting dtay cities next turn. If there isn't I'll put him in Jamestown and we can build one commando per turn. We have a lot of 14 XP infantry, our treaty with 2MetraNinja runs out next turn, and there are a lot of units to farm XP from in his coastal cities over here. It won't be next turn, but it'll be fairly soon...
And just in case this is the end of the game I'll give you some graphs:

Victory info:
And a couple of overviews:
Maybe next game eh Fintourist?
