Turn 228
So two sneaky things from TBS this turn, first up he went for the decoy boats with his destroyers, but how did the destroyers manage to get back into Lashing? They were supposed to be stranded in international waters, ripe for the taking! Well it turns out that TBS closed borders with dtay, teleporting them back so they only needed one or two spare moves to get to safety
. Also note HAK retired to AI 
.
The second is pretty bad news - it looks like TBS did something to do with getting coal from dtay to allow him to get overflow that wasn't divided out at the end of last turn, but then gets the Ironworks multiplier this turn. Between that and his newly-launched golden age this means he'll beat us to Eiffel by a turn. Unless we can do something about it next turn... -6 health is pretty funny, especially if your base production is 129 
. This is what we should aim for with Zucchini!
Zucchini looks a bit sad in comparison - no Levee, much lower pop. Perhaps we can grow it a bit by the time we want the Internet?
We moved the fleet into position and bombarded Lashing this turn. We also have ten bombers in place to hit Lashing next turn (only 8 can hit highlighted Kharbranth, which is still our primary target).
Right now we have 16 Destroyers while TBS has 15 but he can upgrade seven more Frigates next turn... Fintourist did a few sims and decided if he has:
15-18 Destroyers vs our 16: we are happy if TBS attacks
20 vs 16 --> it will be more or less an even trade, we should win more battles, but we might lose a transport or two
22 vs 16: it can go either way, with some luck we are fine, with bad luck we suffer decent losses
~25 vs 16: we should retreat
We've got six more Destroyers on their way, but might be vulnerable for a couple of turns...
Anyway we're still not seeing a buildup from BGN - just a couple of transports in range of our coast still, so the attack goes ahead (barring catastrophe).
Demos and power
