[PBEM] Vovan and Gramps vs the World

[Grandpa Troll]

Thebes has some pretty good defense

[vovan]

Well, then I suppose we shall be forced to bring even better offense.

As far as civics, I switched to police state and nationhood, so I can produce units faster and can draft units if we find ourselves in a tough spot and need defenses quickly.

They still don't have flight, which is really good news. Hopefully, we should be able to maintain air superiority, in which case it will be that much easier to roll over them.

[Grandpa Troll]

Great

I too switched

in other news

communism in 2

I upgraded 3 more cannons to artillery

will be transporting a few more troops from other continent/Island we control

I switched all cities with poor production or too long for anything useful to wealth to upgrade units

Back at ya

[vovan]

On to you, Mr. Troll. ardon the delays. This week was the last one for the fall semester, and I was a little busy.

[Grandpa Troll]

its kewl

sent back at ya

2 tanks plus 2 infantry just left port of new continent

[vovan]

Excellent. We attack next turn.

[Grandpa Troll]

They attacked us

anyhoo

I have 5 tanks,3 artillery.1 Marine and 24 Infantry headed toward Germany

and this..humbles me

[vovan]

Is that perfect timing or what?

Destroyed two German attack stacks in our territory.

Took and destroyed Frankfurt with the SEALs from transports. There is not one, not two, but three Egyptian 3*Tank + Marine + Artillery stacks next to Frankfurt, so I didn't have a chance of keeping it. Frankfurt was razed, and our SEALs are being shipped back home. Seeing all the enemy tanks, I wish we had built more gunships (double strength vs armored units). But we may have enough as it is, coupled with all the bombers and Thermopylae and Athens. As soon as the attack is repelled, we counterattack into German territory.

(You might want to go in right awaY, but there is a slight chance they will shift all these troops north to counter you. Might not be a problem for your hordes of infantry though. )

[Grandpa Troll]

headed in now

i been in two battles so far

im sticking to a single stack all units together

strength in numbers so to speak

[vovan]

Ahh... You gotta love planes. I bombarded their attack stacks, and having weakened them down, took out:

3 Tanks
3 Marines
1 Artillery
1 Cavalry

No losses on my side.

There's one more stack of their units that I couldn't get to, because it is one tile into their territory. I suspect it will retreat to heal. Then we cross over.

BTW, Germans founded a new city: Leipzig - in place of the destroyed Frankfurt. Well, that won't help them much, I don't think.

[Grandpa Troll]

awesome\\slowly trekking my way across wet,cold Germany

Battle of The Bulge stuff

[vovan]

More Egyptians killed, still no losses on our side.

BTW, I strongly suggest turning your troops to the North and checking out the area by the German infantry guarding the Aluminum there. Judging by the borders, there has to be a city to the west of the guardin there somewhere, and we need aluminum any way. Go get, 'em, general Troll.

[Grandpa Troll]

didnt get a turn just in case it was sent

[vovan]

Sent again...

[Grandpa Troll]

lol..they came 1 minute apart
