[Aeson]

Unloaded our 12 MI and 4 Tanks into Squall. Rounded up all our Workers and put them in Deluge.

From a naval perspective ND has 2 more DD in play. One off the coast of Lego, looks like it's headed to rounding the tip. Will set up a 3 DD greeting party for it if they continue 5 tiles along the way.

On land ND has a 3/5 Tank defending Cape, a 4/4 Infantry guarding Najran, with 4/4 MI guarding Damascus, Baghdad and Mecca. RP's screenshot shows a Transport just off of Mecca.

[Aeson]

Ok. Sending ND the 180g we still owe them. Then declaring war.

Well... that wasn't so hot. We can't draft from Deluge because of resistance. So ND has a 1/5 MI, 2 2/4 T, 3/5 T, 1/4 T left in Mecca. That's with at least 2 4/4 MI in the other surviving towns and a 4/4 T and 4/4 Infantry on the Uranium.

We have a 4/5, 4/4, 2/5, 2/4, 1/4, and 1/4 MI left on Lego, with a 2/4 T as well. All out in the open.

Better than I figured we'd do. Thought they'd have 20+ Tanks waiting for us to give them a reason or an excuse.

[Aeson]

Going to upgrade 2 of our last Infs to MI's before I abandon all our cities on Lego (and we lose Rubber). That leaves us with 195g.

[Aeson]

Abandoned the cities, but we still have Rubber? Not sure why, maybe the trade deal with GoW is still active after all?

[Aeson]

We are set to finish Miniaturization next turn and build the Internet too. All the cities have been updated to keep them productive at 0% Luxury (we can up the Lux rate next turn, but this turn we need every penny).

8 of the 10 Transports are loaded up. 3 Settlers, 5 Marines, 4 MI, and 52 Tanks. Finishing 3 More Marines next turn, 1 Settler, 1 Transport. Then up to 9 new Marines on the turn of the landing. That gives us 17 Marines total.

4 More Bombers finishing next turn. We have 12, so that will fill our our 4 CV's in play.
