The rest seems to be fine, as far as I can see. Only that one transport.

Okay, so be it. Note for when a replay is unavoidable:

Movement continued
- 1/4 transport at Quanto 4 stops movement.

Hey, wait a moment.... there is something else. That transport could have returned to NI, if it didn't have a marine on board. Now, it's a certain kill for Lego.

Hum, I'm still not convinced.

Well, this is what happened to me:

I hit (and logged) an enemy archer with a horseman near the start of a turn after no other combat or active RNG events, losing 0 HP. I couldn't finish the turn in that session, so had to replay it. This time my horseman lost 2HP. I repeated twice and got the same RNG string - eventually having to accept the result. Something I did or opened or looked at in the 1st play must have triggered an RNG event without me actively doing anything.

Maybe it will distract a Lego ship that otherwise would be sinking our chain?

Shame to lose what may have been our most important unit since Grog. Name it WaterGrogged.

movement continued
- 2 Transports with 2 settlers each moved to NI. Unload.
- loaded 4 settlers, 1 marine, 2 tanks and an explorer in a transport in NI (1mp remaining)
- moved the transport 8.
- reloaded its cargo onto one of the waiting transports (ther 1/4 one, to be precise).
- moved that transport 8
- woke the marine, and attacked Quanto.
- I think we destroyed a BB and a bomber (as expected)

We can only sell one building, right? I'm going for the factory.

We can sell off everything but Hospital and Aquaduct. Factory first just in case I'm wrong though.

That is good news for the treasury, over 100 gold netted. If Lego losses 10 cities at 40-50 gold each, that will make it a lot harder to rush things or spy.

- BTW, we spotted the second Lego explorer. #1 is at Quanto 3, #2 is at Quanto 33.

movement continued
-1/4 transport moves into Quanto.
- all units waked (woken?)
- explorer takes a stroll on our border( 8334 [edit]28[/edit]).
- we spot a mountain at Q633, with the end of the river. Q663 is a plain on river, but we can't see if it holds a city or not.

terrain wise, we haven't learned a lot of new things right now. The second explorers opens possibilities, though. Capture him, and use him instead of the one you intended to send East from NI? Or wait until we have that tile?

The marines are relatively useless, but they make great explorer capturers. I wouldn't mind capturing both of them right now.

Next priority is to find out where Yellow is.

If they lose 10 cities, one of those is going to be Legopolis. so no spying at all

Nice of Lego to leave all these explorers around for us. Kinda hints like they weren't expecting this.

Maybe. On the other hand, each explorer captured means one unit losing a mp. They don't come free, only nearly free

We don't have much use for the one in NI other than to explore the S-portion of Lego. I'd still use him first as the other 2 we could use to spot GoW's stack with perhaps, or maybe even pillage Rubber if we find it...

we're going to capture those explorers anyway, the question now is if we spend a marine on that, or wait until we control the region, and spend a tank on it (which might retreat into a city). I suggest the marines... any objections?

Didn't realise we could sell multiple improvements. This operation is starting to pay its own way!

Also, each one of their explorers we send out ties up another of their units if they want to stop them.

Seeing as those Marines had almost been written-off last turn it seems appropriate to grab explorers with them now and save the tanks for tougher foe.
