Operation Broken Beaker
A slow but methodical way to take Germany out of the tech race.
Pre-requisites
Study RP before SM
RoP England
MPPRoP Aztecia
MPP Greece
MPP Russia
Turn 1
Execute Operation Staging Point including Khufu's Army with about 6 Cav support, but deliberately leave the Nuremberg reinforcement route in place! (hope they use it)
A grossly inadequate number of cannon approach Stuttgart with reasonable cover say 6 cannon, 3 rifle, 6 cavalry, and 1 worker. The worker will road next 2 turns, then rail (This is a ruse attack)
Modest Cavalry force say 10 move to threatening position on Cologne (This is a feint)
Majority of cannon hang around for RP and upgrade
Get Alliances against Germany as desired
Turn 2
Khufu and company continue a pillaging slow march towards Leipzig and all over Germany. Khufu needs to bag something along the way.
Begin ruse bombardment of Stuttgart
Cavalry near Cologne keep threatening
Turns 3 etc
Continue
If perchance this rediculously inadequate bombardment of Stuttgart yields results, .....
nah, it won't happen
Turn RP - 2
Start laying track to attack square for Nuremberg
(remember to occupy all track segments after laying)
Chances are there will be an english whatsit on some key tile. That's why we start 2 turns early!
Turn RP - 1
Hopefully the brit moves so lay more track with additional workers (prev rr tiles must remain occupied)
Start laying track to Cologne jump off point with additional workers.
Turn that Gets RP
Bulk of cannon upgrades
Keep laying track towards Nuremburg and Cologne with additional workers (prev rr tiles must remain occupied)
Turn RP + 1
If track has not yet reached the English tile that can Artillery can fire into Nurembeg, or the Aztecia tile that can Artillery Fire into Cologne, keep laying track as above.
