What do we have watching the East?

The ocean between us and Lego is verified surface ship free (other than Voxian ships) from a line S from the S tip of Lego to the pole, and across from the N of RP to the N of Vox. We have pickets at those points. Then we have swept W to Flateria, except for a few tiles down near the poles, where the ships there lagged behind to deal with Lego's Transports down there.

There could be Subs though. We'd catch most Subs trying to get in between RP and Vox with our 2 Subs stationed there, but we don't have any Subs stationed S of Lego, and ND Subs heading E along the S pole wouldn't have been spotted either. Given when their Subs were built, outside one from Flateria, I don't think any of them could have made that run yet.

Ok, reopened the save and am back to the point we were at yesterday.

[Aeson]

Radar Tower built on Arashi 33.

[Aeson]

I've moved most of the ships into position for an invasion through Neu Mavsu or Flateria if it presents itself as an option. Verified all water tiles, except for the 4 coastal tiles between Flateria and Neu Mavsu, to Flateria as ship free

Got rid of the Fortress between WW and OG, only 1 MI there guarding 3 Workers. If ND has Transports in Candri, they might try to make that landing. Long shot, but it's the only tile they could get to this next turn.

Bombing from CV at OG 444:

Bombing Luxilou 1, RR destroyed.
Bombing Luxilou 1, Road and Mine destroyed.
Bombing Candri, Temple destroyed.
Bombing Candri, Bombing run failed.

Attacking ND DD near S tip of Lego:

GS 4/4 DD attacks ND 4/4 DD, GS DD 24.

Monsoon is going to lose 3-4 buildings next turn. Then nprobably the rest the next turn. I'm going to draft from there, as once we lose the Harbor it's going to starve. Probably we should sell off most of the buildings too.

I'm starting a SAM missile battery there. And we'll have several Jet Fighters built/upgraded next turn, but they won't be able to help until the next turn after that.

[Aeson]

Diplomacy:

Sent 10gpt + 180g to GoW accepted. (Get rid of Lego and pay off ND)

Sent Iron, Oil, Coal, Furs, RoP, WM to RP accepted. (Is it proper if we share our Oil with RP by doing this every turn?)

[Aeson]

Upgraded 4 of our remaining 5 Infantry to MI.

Pillaged RR's and Roads 9, 6, and 3 of Monsoon.

[Aeson]

Changed most of the builds away from Marines. If ND does sail we will know it based on the battle reports, and can then change to Marines. If they don't, the Marines aren't necessary.

[Aeson]

Tax rate at 100%. We'll need some more cash sooner or later, might as well get it up-front if not exploiting deficit spending. Still should be able to get Space Flight in the same timeframe.

[Aeson]

Save closed.

One thing I forgot to mention. GoW has 5 CV's in the stack that previously just had DD's and a NS. They are all empty at least.

Here is the situation at the end of the turn:

How do you know the CVs are empty?

Ah for a few flaks or mobile sams. Yes lets sell off the structures, no recycling, too bad.

I was thinking they'd show. Oops.
