Who's driving the boats?
Our attack is going to be 3-pronged. The smallest prong is hitting Avon Grove (1), the biggest uses Crow's Bridge (2) to access Pindi's interior (3, 4, 5, stack), the remaining prong hits Strand (6) first then captures Avernus (7) before dropping units by Muirtheane (8). We'll need to bombard Avon Grove (1) and Avernus (7) to get the best odds and if we have spare Frigates we could bombard Strand (6), but it's not as important.
Let's start with the Shrine attack (partly for culture reasons):
If we win every fight we'll leave 8 Infantry 1S of the shrine. Is that enough to take the city and to defend it from interference from dtay?
Next: Avon Grove, one Galleon should do the trick here:
This isn't a slam dunk - we may not make the capture, but that doesn't matter so much in the bigger picture, it just makes good use of this Galleon.
Finally the Stack attack:
A Commando clears away the culture from the Capital, then Tallow, then Gate of Storms, in that order because third ring culture removal is bugged (I need to sim this because I'm not sure if my assumptions are totally correct.)
Once the culture is cleared our workers lay one railroad track that allows our 1-movers to hit his stack. I just ran a sim of that attack and won every battle at 90-96-99%, so I don't think bringing collateral is needed.
Following the attack we'll have a lot of Cuirs able to hit Otter Ferry on turn 202, hopefully the three Commando Cav able to strike deeper into Pindicator's culture again followed by Cavalry to cover them, then a bunch of Infantry can be railroaded to cover the cities we've captured. Perhaps more than two workers will be needed to allow us to reinforce more effectively.
If Pindi doesn't split or move his stack or switch to Slavery or Nationalism in the next seven turns then I'm confident we'll be able to take all but two of his cities within about five turns (famous last words
).
