Turn 208
I was greeted by a request for a loan from HAK this turn. Much as I like him we may need GermanJoey (who HAK is fighting) to help us out against TBS, so I declined. We got visibility on TBS's capital and the interesting news is that he's only got a warrior in there. Unfortunately its too far from the border to commando with a two-mover. However a 3-mover might just be able to.
Back to our current business: We walked into Giza, getting 208 gold, a Granary and a Forge for not much trouble.
Then we did the same with Heliopolis, for 154 gold, a Lighthouse, a Granary and a Forge.
At Salusa Secundus:
- 18.4/20 C2 Amphi Pinch Inf vs Rifle 82%... LOSS (3 hits)
Which means we probably can't take Thebes next turn...
- Inf vs Injured Rifle 99%... FLAWLESS WIN
The city came with 121 gold, a Granary, Lighthouse, Harbor and Market. THH and I discussed the chance that Dreylin retreats his stack as we approach the capital. If he does then we don't have time to get our stack back over to face dtay, so we decided we had to burn this city just to play it safe
. Then our stack moved on the capital. 19 Rifles are in the city, 5 nearby. We'll add a handful more Infantry to these 23 along with a couple of Cats next turn - the main stack will have to pause for a turn to bombard, allowing the extra units to catch up. We've still got our commandos hanging around too.
Machine Guns are now rolling off the production lines. They'll be shuttled straight to the Shrine.
Demos and power
