Damn, you're fast. I fixed it within 30 seconds of the original post and you still caught it.

I'm on holiday and I have nothing better to do than drink and read RB. Joys of being a student...

fixed already! Yes - great post Davy.
What # and composition of defenders are you expecting in Beijing? As soon as you have eyes on the city, will you be simming out attack plans? With that many units to manage, I am really interested in seeing your teams thought process in executing the attack. I probaby wouldn't have the patience for it!
Best of luck with the RNG.

I'll give the final count of the units comprising the invasion force sometime tonight after we have all played our turns.
As for the defenders, I'm expecting around 200 assorted muskets, jannisaries, catapults, cho-ko-nus and pikes.
The basic plan is to walk our units up to the city, leaving them all unpromotd with the exception of the machine guns. I expect Lewwyn will hit us with collateral when we move onto the flood plains south of the city. With any luck, our sheer numbers will dissipate the collateral and our machine guns will prevent him from getting any kills. After he assaults, we promote + heal everything, and start hammering the city. He may decline to hit our stack with collateral, but in that case, little changes as far as our plan goes.
I'm not planning on simming out the attack, for a few reasons:
1. WK, Shoot and I all have a fairly good idea of what the order of battle should be and what promotions to take.
2. I don't have the patience to simulate a 400+ unit clash in WB
2. It will be impossible to replicate the battlefield situation in a WB sim after (if?) Lewwyn hits us with collateral.
3. It doesn't matter if we know in advance who wins or loses this thing, we go ahead regardless.

On a side note, I have never seen so many users in the PB6 forum or the lurker thread popping so quickly.

Guess it must be tight then, if they were going to win next turn then I imagine there wouldn't be quite as much traffic.
On another note, I noticed Leewyn's cap is 4th on the top city list. Should we assume that is the most likely candidate of replacing Beijing if it falls to us? If so, we may want to move our megastack in Leewyn's direction after Beijing falls, and use the extra units we're building to finish off China.

I just went to "Who's Online" and saw Sirian online and creating a thread for Diablo! 
It really is end times.
