RB PBEM #1 - Gandhi [spoilers]

[Ruff_Hi]

wow - game has sped up. Down to 3 players and no huge army (anymore) to move. I am now 3 turns behind in my reporting . I have the screenshots so will do an update dump.

Short update ... Dreylin used his Communism spy against me and now I need 13000EPs just to see his blasted cities ... GRRRRRR. Guess I will have to use F8 for a while.

Tech rate has doubled ... now pulling in just under 1500 beakers per turn. Best I could ever do pre-Greece was around 750 to 800. I'll be able to provide you guys with an eta on Ship techs after I go back and find T-Hawk's post.

So the endgame will be like this

Ha that was great. Although white won, i thought the black spy bit with the projections was the most creative.

[Ruff_Hi]

It always seems to work in the movies. Maybe there isn't the caliber of 'straight men' around here. Every time you see someone say ...

"do you hear that?"

... someone always says ...

No, I don't hear anything

... and then the first guy says

Exactly! it is too quiet.

Have you noticed that the turns have been flying past ... and there having been any taunts from mh, GGs dying left and right and Dreylin feeling glum? Something is happening in Dodge. And then this ...



... and this ...



3 mh workers sitting on the border farming and no attempt by Dreylin to capture them. Something is up. Hmm ... UN needs 62% of the population for Diplovictory. I have 34% so I cannot block it by myself ...

<where is that lightbulb pic when you need it>

... Dreylin finally decided that winning is better than crushing mh. About time. The big question is now, can I do anything about it?
