Apolyton captured one more city than planned for. A bit puzzling, but I think they lucked out and captured Speed Racer with a stray Chariot.

T 177 late:
pic dump: 2 CFC knights flanking through WPC territory:  Luckily there is a jungle. So even if CFC told WPC to road that tile, they actually don't get anything from it. I don't care much about WPC. I hope they get swallowed by UniverCiv. Rapidly running out of draft potential:  Tech situation:  Northern Germany guerilla warfare:  If Apolyton moves according to plan, we could recap Don Dilemma. Just to keep their forces (10 Rifles!) occupied for a bit longer. Speed Racer:  Apolyton captured Speed Racer with a stray Chariot that I overlooked. However, Speed Racer will still be in the grasp of our culture, inhibiting their movements. And we could liberate it again for one turn with a Knight, unless they razed it (they have either razed Speed Racer or Summer Breeze). Starfall:  I hope to have the Rifles attack those cannons near Starfall, if they are anywhere in range. Horse Feathers:  Assembling a stack to hit them with next turn. Positioned most of the units at the tile labelled "cat stage" to cover most of their advances. If they happen to have a spy parked on that tile to pillage the roads, I am screwed, as I don't have workers in range to instant road the tile back. Nothing in the south. I am surprised that Civplayer has not probed our defenses there with a few Cuirassiers. mh

T178 early
CFC actually razed Starfall, denying us the chance to recapture it and hit their big army. Good for them. We currentlly cannot hit their stack which sits 2tiles inside their culture. They also have Grenadiers around and whipped like 17 of them last turn it seems. But, they only defend Eastern Dealers with 4 promoted muskets ... and we have a lot more units around that can hit Eastern Dealers than they think, since we also have 10 workers in position. If the RNG does not screw us over, we can spring a nasty surprise on CFC, potentially recapturing Eastern Dealers and then hitting their Cannon stack with as many Rifles as possible before Grenadiers will shut down anything on that front. In the West there also a tiny chance that we can recapture Frozen Jungle. Very risky, but we have nothing to lose, anyway. In the North Apoylton has reinforced Dom Dilemma with two shipped-in Rifles and we will probably lose all German cities in the next two turns. Speed Racer was indeed razed. WPC did not road that tile and the two CFC Knight have not moved, no doubt thinking they are not visible to us. Waiting to surprise attack. mh

The most important tile for this to work (the hitting of the Cannon stack) is not going to flip back to us I think, because it was only within Starfall's 3rd ring. Bummer. Also, you are going to love the fact that there are 11 CivFr Cuirassiers close to Frozen Jungle mingling with the Civplayer troops.  Expect a DoW next turn. mh

Damn, we harassed CFC sufficiently for them to raze a globe theater that they could have had. Awesome.
Also, I used to think CivFr was doing the entirely correct thing by staying out of the way and developing vertically while the leader got taken down, but now it turns out that they built military instead of infrastructure too, but will get even less out of the war than CFC. Ooooookay. Unless they've got some magnificent backstab planned, or are here to raze cities that would otherwise be captured, I just do not understand anymore. I suppose it's possible that they developed a trade agreement with Poly and/or CP whereby CivFr gets to steal multiple techs cheap in exchange for those 11 curs. |
