Although now that two teams have given us the leisurely strolling image, it may just be stuck now. That was a hilarious line from lewwyn, even if he doesn't fully know why

So... can I re-post this one image in the Retrospective thread? I moved it to my own dropbox from davy's photobucket:
One way or the other, Team 2 will be able to see that pretty soon without your help. Either they win, or they die.

Guardians of Beijing:
Lewwyn Wrote:153 units (once I move some archers into Beijing as well) + about 15 more produced before T3 reaches + 66 from Wonderland = ~235 units in Beijing.
While Team3 has seen 144 units attacking so far. (plus 12 machine guns)
Team 3 is sending:
Lewwyn Wrote:That actually might be okay.
12 Machine Guns
44 Cannon
41 Rifles
39 Musketmen/teers
9 Knight
6 LB
5 Pike
2 praets
2 Maces
1 HA
6 cats
That is 105 units that can kill.
Now, Team3 has talked about 2-movers catching up if they can raze Macau... so maybe 120 units get into the fray
*If* they get 2 turns to attack, I predict:
215 kills (combined from both teams) in the battle of Beijing.

That being said, he's sandbagging his position. If Beijing wasn't going to go legendary by the time we hit, he would have moved those Great Artists off to a backup city by now. He also wouldn't bother scraping together every last obsolete unit to hold the city. It's gonna be close.
And as ever, OleDavy is canny.

Cannons can't kill, but they can die...but retreats also occur...
I reckon 230 (including cannons).
