Basic overview, i think the map may speak for itself.
Initial Attack: Archer/Spear stack moves NW 6 times then N twice. this bypasses the river, and there is no defensive terrain immediately surrouding washington, so that grassland is as good as the other 7. for stack defense purposes.
The initial attack is launching the second we get 2 spears and 6 archers. immediately after it leaves, i would like to begin amassing a small refresher army on the moutain again, consisting of 1 spearman and however many archers we can amass.
After Washington is subdued, 1 spearman and all remaining archers but one (one will be left in washington as a garrison / offensive defender) will move SE 4 times, and due E once. This bypasses the river (its hard to see on my map but it's there)
On the THIRD move of the main stack, the refresher stack begins it's movement. the stacks should end up at New York at the same time, allowing the refresher army to do its job, and to make quick work of New York.
this should get us Washington and NY easily. The question is do we want Boston or Philly as our third target?
Philly will get autorazed, Boston wont (im assuming it grows / get the palace).
leaving them with Philly leaves them totally crippled for a long time. leaving them with boston lets them grow a bit more, perhaps stay close in the tech race, and vassalizes them until they get too strong and we crush them.
i'm also makig this a poll so we can see which we should get.
Also note they may build more cities by the time we begin.
