[Spoilers] AT Ponders the number 52

He's got enough hitters to win.  I just don't know if he has enough seige to hurt my units enough to get odds on them.  We'll see.

I've debating whether to attack out or sit. I cant' kill his stack... but I do have a lot of units who do no real good on defense (19 cats, 9 knights, 5 HA) - none of those get defensive promos. And most of his units will get odds on at least the catapults.

On the other hand, if I wait and let him attack, my cats will absorb a lot of collateral. Plus, he'll probably lose much of his seige.

Well, attacking is fun. So, I guess I'll attack out.

So. I attacked out and lost 19 catapults.

Knights did well. After that, not so great, so I didn't send out the longbows or pikes. so, we'll see what happens next.

My capitol continues to survive. I knew he didn't bring enough seige. For some reason, he didn't attack with his rifles - maybe they were too hurt. There are more on the way, though I'm just making more and more LB.

I probably need to leave some in my southern border cities, though. It's probably way too open for Jowy/Mjmd.

I still stand, but there is a steady, if not large, stream of riles and siege heading in, so I presume at some point, he'll bombard my defenses to 0 and finally just attack.

If I had realized just how long this would take, i would probably have played it differently.

In other news, OH attacked Mjmd and Mjmd made peace with Charriu, so I may not outlast Charriu.

I'm definitely out of things to do. I'm just whipping units. MrCairo is slowly reducing my defenses, but he could probably attack now and just win. He has more siege coming, though.

No more attacks. Just picking up LB and getting taken over. I figure that I have maybe another 20 turns left , unless jowy/mjmd pile on.

I'll do an analysis of my mistakes in this game later (because that's what all lurkers want to see!!)

now mr cairo is throwing cavalry and rifles at me. He took my cap with a series of 90+% odds attacks, losing only a few units. I feel like this should have been over 20 turns ago, but my guess is I die in 10 turns, if not faster. it really depends on if jowy/Mjmd jump in (btw - they really should)

Jowy declared last turn. I expect him to take a few cities while MrCairo snags the rest.

The end is near!! Lost 3 cities last turn (2 to cairo, one to Jowy). I expect to lose 1 this turn, 2 next turn and the last turn a few turns after that.

"Superdeath seems to have acquired a rep for aggression somehow. [Image: noidea.gif] In this game that's going to help us because he's going to go to the negotiating table with twitchy eyes and slightly too wide a grin and terrify the neighbors into favorable border agreements, one-sided tech deals and staggered NAPs."
