If one of them bows out then it is over. Does he though? Given Kremlin, I'm willing to bet his gross outputs are similar to the two of them combined. He's fighting defensively, though, and has a *lot* of land to protect, so I do agree they have an edge.
It'll be interesting to see what BGN and Pindicator do. And if the Axis (Germany and Japan, natch) start making big gains I'd be curious to see if they get their gains on fire by fighting each other.

Quote:I think city build changes would be allowed, since enemy units can destroy resources & occupy tiles, making micro changes necessary.
That makes sense. I guess I'd saying whipping is allowed in the 2nd slot then but drafting isn't.
No body guard moving in the 2nd slot either. But you're military units will get a chance to move again before the enemy anyway(1st slot next turn), so you can still protect the workers.
I've found the game-long trade route narrative pretty amusing.

IMO oneturning inf trumps 2popwhipping .

Do REM and scooter still have a defensive pact up? That could complicate scooter's plan if Dreylin preemptively attacks REM. Dreylin would offer scooter a 10 turn peace treaty the same turn and scooter rejecting it would put all cities on higher alert. Dreylin and OT4E are both suspecting the DZ area for scooter to attack, but it wouldn't be ideal for their surprise.
Dreylin may have more production overall, but scooter and REM are more sustainable. Either way, it's about to get really interesting next turn. And I'm still not forgetting BGN and Pindicator, I am almost positive they will jump in against someone. Probably in a very problematic way and at a problematic time. 
Can airships bomb tile improvements? I only play vanilla.

Airships cannot bomb tile improvements nor can they bombard city defences. They can run recon missions or attack visible units (max 20% damage to one target, no collateral damage). They are also very long ranged and can see subs.

I was dedlurking Scooter/Sullla, but HAD to know what was going to happen in this war.
It's going to be REAL interesting. If Dreylin can play tight defense, he's got a good shot - but it's going to be real tough. His best hope is one of the also-rans hits REM or Scooter.

IMO it is a mistake that sulla /scooter did not declare war now. Their waiting can well lead to REM feeling alone and signing peace.

They've been sending the count down for several turns now, pretty sure REM has figured out what's up and knows when to expect Scooter to join in. REM likely won't feel alone unless they bow out and cancel the attack, which seems exceedingly improbable. Certainly REM hasn't said anything to suggest as much.

Yes OTOH REM has told them that he will attack this turn. And as he said if Sulla/scooter take their time to hit perfectly he might feel has just handed them the game.

Very little in his(Dreylin's) core. All facing off v me either at our border, or in DZ land. Could I have crowned Scooter starting this war first? Will he even jump in with me?
