More bombing, more fighters shot down on both sides. Sooooo ran a counter espionage mission against me. Ahh - did he revolted back to Representation? Maybe that explains his tech not showing. I certainly have enough EPs to see it.

Dreylin finished Industrialism so we have 5 to 6 turns to churn as many tanks as possible. I also finish Radio this turn so I get to build bombers too. 1 or 2 rounds of bombers in my hammer heavy cities, bombers in my smaller cities and then it is onto tanks. I'll start to gather my forces for another push at Sparta.

Sooooo did revolt last turn. He also kicked of a GA this turn. I kicked him back to Monarchy which dropped Rocketry down from 1 turn to 2. I've started a round of bombers. Next turn my heavy lifting cities will move onto tanks and I will send in my forces (the tanks should be able to catch up).

I've also started the Cristo Redentor in FF, mainly for denial purposes but also because it will give me total civic flexibility in the future.

My first bomber air wing will be moving to Death Valley to provide air support to my army as they move on Sparta. The next air wing will move to Shangri La to take out the rest of Sooooo's cottages at his capital.

You are one evil bastard Ruff, you know that?

First swapping his civics, then bombing all of his capitals' cottages...

[Ruff_Hi]

half evil bastard ... I can only reach half of his cottages with my fighters ... but you can call me a total bastard in a few turns when my bomber fleet starts rolling off the drawing boards.

when my bomber fleet starts rolling off the drawing boards

Those are some really tiny bombers!

Very interesting to read about all the modern warfare. War is hell.

[Ruff_Hi]

Those are some really tiny bombers!

All the better to avoid enemy interception.

[novice]

Besides, it's not as if you Air Force is doing anything to stop me; they're too busy hiding in their Hangers....

Are those coathangers? Sounds like mh is countering your tiny bombers with tiny fighters.

novice, how did you manage not to catch that you quote in the wrong thread??

[Ruff_Hi]

oh oh - thanks for the extra 2 posts guys ... do you want me to forward that comment to my DeTOG buddy?
