0 on Stormia.
1 333 of Windswept on Lego which would be on our side.

[Aeson]

Following last turns reasoning planting a spy in GoW, trying this turn to plant in ND. 114g. Success.

ND forces:

2 Settler
38 Worker
12 Marine
14 Cavalry
64 Infantry
38 Tank
1 Mech Infantry
1 Frigate
14 Transport
1 Sub
5 Destroyer
1 Battleship
18 Bomber
4 Ansar

1 captured Spanish Worker.

IA in Neu Theben.

[Aeson]

Military:

4/4 Tank takes Barb Camp. Tank 5/5. +25g.

[Aeson]

I just noticed that we can start the UN even in Mobilization. WoC would take 9 more turns to build it. We can mask the build for 1 more turn by using the BB build it's currently on and switching next turn. No one else is building it yet.

ND could have a prebuild for it of course but I doubt they would start a prebuild timed for Vox's free tech.

[Aeson]

Or we could start a Civil Defense in Tempest and switch in 2 turns. Tempest can build the UN in 9 turns as well.

[Aeson]

If we hook up Uranium we can build Nuclear Subs. They cost 140s and have +1 movement. I think we should wait to hook up Uranium until we have the Subs we want for a sentry net built. Should be a couple more turns.

Man the string of lack of resources on Stormia goes on and on.

Anyone know what to do with a turn coat computer?

I really do not like the bolded bit. What do they plan on doing with them? Watch closely for that number to grow, and maybe stack up the MIs in vulnerable ports.

[Aeson]

Well, I plan on disbanding our Marines to seed builds. If we have a need for Marines we can build up a force pretty quickly. Having ~10 on hand is basically just -10gpt IMO, especially with Civil Defense, Radar Towers, and MI around now.

If ND's numbers of Marines does start jumping we know what's going on.

[Aeson]

Disbanding Marines:

3 Marines disbanded in OG for 75s. (Sub in 1 turn)
4 Marines disbanded in Tornado for 100s. (BB in 2 turns)
1 Marine disbanded in Abilene for 25s. (Settler in 5 turns)

[Aeson]

Military:

4/4 DD attacks 1/4 CV HBS Tiberius Kerekes at Inchoff 66632, DD 3/4.

Disbanding:

1 Marine disbanded in Velocity for 25s.
1 Explorer disbanded in Velosicy for 5s. (Sub 9 turns)
