War Academy: Case Blue

[kring]

We don't know there is Iron in those mountains. While it is likely, I have seen mountain ranges in a number of my games where there was no iron in them.

I agree we need to know more about the terrain of the other 2 civs before we go with a blanket Case X plan. We need to find out how much military they have (within the confines of the limited Advisor's info and what we can see). The power score will be a clue as well since part of that score is based on military might.

As I have stated before, I believe it's too early to discuss operational details at this point. We should stick with the production plans outlined under Case Pink while we explore a bit more. Then we can start planning troop movements and mission objectives when we know at least a little bit more.

With the information we have, we should attack France. However, we could debate until we are blue (or pink ) in the face about the unknowns. The simple fact is, the plan as outlined does not need to change until we are ready to build the road to our target, regardless of who that is. Therefore, case pink should remain while we gather intelligence. Any decision about the target should be deferred until a later date.

God point kring

Kring brough up a great point: Has anyone looked at the histograph yet? Where are we in relation to these two, ahead behind one but above the other, behind both?

I agree that we need to explore more, and perhaps then come up with a unified plan, or at least even if we go for Plan Pink, have a Plan Blue contingency ready, so if the Americans decide to attack us, we need some sort of plan for that too.

Generally, Americans are less aggressive than French.
We should attack French and try to trade with the Americans. Perhaps they'll have any surplus of dyes we can later have pacifically from them...

A follow-up question: should we attack the French, vassal them, rebuild our army, and THEN attack the Americans?

hi ,

could be risky , the yanks might make a move when the entire army is with the French , ....
