Turn Reporting Thread

Nice work with the commando cavalry! IIRC we have four cities on the east coast that can be protected by parking on a single tile, so with some ironclads in the water there may still be hope. The bigger issue is whether or not our stack in the west gets obliterated.

This is what Gillette got inside their capital. Any ideas what should we be doing?

[plako]

17 Rifles, 15 pikes, 24 muskets, 11 Grenadiers, 6 Lbows, 1 Chariot, 8 Knights, 4 cats, 2 warriors and 34 Cannons i.e. 124 units.

We have: 34 Cavs, 30 Rifles and 32 Cannons.

I'll sim this up. We've quite a few wounded units from Airship bombards so healing up for a turn is not a totally bad idea. We can get few more cavs on range also. Preliminarily attack feels best, if we find a sequence of actions that leads most of the Cannons dying.

[zakalwe]

I guess we sue for peace, and if they don't want peace, we pillage all the towns we can reach while retreating our stack.

[zakalwe]

Yeah ok, if we can flank their cannons then maybe attacking isn't so terrible.

[zakalwe]

But we can't, obviously as it's a city...

We can discuss also here I guess . We could do also this. We've weakened them up quite a bit. The problem is that 3M and Pirates are probably joining the fun making it pretty difficult for us.

Yeah, but those 32 Cannons bring lots of hurt to their top defenders so we might end up in a situation where Cannons start defending.

[zakalwe]

Well, given that I'm not interested in cooperating with M3 even if they wanted to do a joint attack, I think we've lost this. And even if we haven't technically lost, it seems like we're all kind of fed up with the game. Both sides are preparing to concede, it seems.

I see what you're saying about the cannons, and I certainly don't mind giving it a shot. Worst case we blow our cannon stack and in addition kill at least one of their units for each of ours. I was probably being too pessimistic, as usual.

[plako]

We're both on the pessimistic side of the things. They've just focused a lot on Cannons and don't have many strong defenders so we might have a shot of doing real damage. I'll investigate this a bit now.
