Turn 229
Damn that Eiffel Tower build!
Damnit - how do we get our carriers to join up with the northern fleet without exposing them to TBS's destroyers?
Hang on... where is TBS getting his coal from? dtay has two and he's giving one to TBS - one of which is supplied by BGN and the other is in this hill. If I'd had the spies on this tile already we could have just cut it and then we'd get a coinflip chance at Eiffel. So we'd need to use a fighter to air strike the tile
.
And going back to an old bit of work - we can teleport our Carriers from the green tile so that they can join up with our fleet as it heads NW looking for a way in.
Oh, yeah, should have mentioned - it doesn't look like we're making a breakthrough at Kharbranth or Lashing this turn
. So our fleet will move NW to fork four TBS cities and see what he does.
To business! First we bombard one mine. Then another! Then a third!
Then we declare war on dtay and... Success! Our boats are now poised to strike TBS western flank next turn.
The first Fighter failed to unhook dtay's coal, but the second one did. And now we just have to see if the coal deal gets cancelled before TBS completes production in Varelth. We're fairly sure that dtay can't just broker the coal he's getting from BGN to TBS. Can he?
With a little bit more bombarding our boats are in place to fork four cities next turn. TBS has to give up on one of them, right? Our bombers rebased to William's land, we've covered them and they can hit a couple of cities next turn...
In other worrying international news BGN has Military science and could hit one of our coastal cities with two transports next turn and commando his way to Zucchini - I blocked the city with some Destroyers, to remove the temptation.
