As we have struck the first blow in Innsbruck (now H Town) and Pressburg, we now face new strategic issues:
How strongly should we garrison our original empire and newly conquered acquisitions?
Where should we attack next?
How large a force should we send to attack?
My thoughts are as follows:
Pressburg is vulnerable but much less valuable than H Town.
H Town is both valuable and vulnerable
Pedrunnia is also valuable and vulnerable
Colonia Locuta is less vulnerable and valuable
Mapfipolis is slightly more vulnerable and valuable.
My suggestions are as follows:
Pressburg: 3 defenders... 2 (1W or 1H & 1A) when conquest distress subsides, 1 being transferred to H Town. Build units for H Town, ASAP. Then assist in building an offensive stack, noted below. Then build up to 4 defenders, 2H & 2A.
H Town: 10 defenders (5H & 5A) Build units to achieve, ASAP. Then build an offensive stack, also ASAP, noted below.
Pedrunnia: 8 defenders (4H & 4A) Build units to achieve, ASAP, then build 1H & 1A and a Setttler, to move SW.
Colonia Locuta: 2 defenders (1H & 1A) growing to 4 defenders (more if German relations grow strained.) Alternate between assisting Pedrunnia in garrisoning and self-garrisoning. Subsequently a social improvement... settler, perhaps?
Mapfipolis: 6 defenders (8 if German relations grow strained) 3H & 3A. Optioned improvement when finished.
Attack stack: 6H & 6A, built in H Town and Pressburg.
At size 6, send a sortie north to probe Austrian defenses further and possible take yet another prize. In the event of a poor city site, we'll disband the town and make our choice: probably an escorted trip south towards Pedrunnia.
The army should have returned by the time the rest of the army is conscripted, and it can press on Graz.
