[PBEM] Vovan and Gramps vs the World

[vovan]

It very well might have given us a little bit of andvantage, but the thing is you have a very low science output, and therefore it is best to either research the same thing I am, or put the beakers into cheaper techs. Otherwise, our tech lag will just keep increasing faster.

[Grandpa Troll]

indeed

artillery coming up soon

[vovan]

Excellent.

[Grandpa Troll]

im gonna be having an uphill battle when war comes
no cities are building very quickly

maybe I should make some workshops, eh?

(for tile improvements)

[vovan]

Maybe.

In four turns, another boat full of soldiers will arrive to Corinth, which is where we will be staging our naval siege on Frankfurt from. As soon as that happens, we will start seriously thinking about the attack.

[Grandpa Troll]

actually 2 tanks built

3 cities that can build tanks in 4 turns apiece

meantime buiding a few Infantry to throw in the mix along with Marines

gonna make this a land game for my part

looking at striking northern Germany to wipe them westward from our location

[vovan]

It looks like Hatty and Fred got themselves Rocketry, which means they can build SAMs to counter our planes. That's okay for now, since we have plenty of artillery to go around any way. (Well, I do. ) But if they get flight, and we don't attack before then, that would be the time to do it, before we lose the advantage in the sky.

[Grandpa Troll]

try to give me a few turns notice

im building as quickly as I can

[vovan]

Well, I don't know about you, but I'm massing troops at the border. If you start doing the same, advance troop relocation never hurt anyone. We'll certainly plan the attack in advance, however, like last time.

[Grandpa Troll]

I am as last time

In Rome 19 Infantry
1 tank
3 cannon (upgrade as gold come available)

1 artillery

to the south 2 Infantry

to the north 2 infantry

1 marine

3 more infantry

coming double quick

1 tank and 2 infantry via water

[Grandpa Troll]

The tank has no defense...should I use Infantry or build some machine gunners to accompany them and artillery?

Both would probably be good. But infantry can also be used for taking cities, whereas machine guns can only defend.

[Grandpa Troll]

indeed

add 4 more tanks

off for another amphibious boatlift



looking forward to taking firm place over the world

[vovan]

Alright, it looks like we get plastics and communism in three turns. Then we attack. (With precisely 50 turns to go till the end.) Sound like a plan?

Im at work now, will play turn later

question:

we go to communism do we switch any civics as this is still fuzzy to me, the best combinations to have..

Thanks

I look forward to doing battle with our foes
