- 3 slaves RR the road on NI 9. That makes a total of 4 workers on this tile, better protect it
- 2 slaves move to Abilene 7.
- 1 slave next to our 4/5 T moves onto the tank. (wasn't on RR)
- 1 slave on jungle moves 8 onto forest.

that leaves exactly 4 slaves which can move... but as we don't have the chance to create a colony anyway in case GoW would try something (the slave's escort would certainly be destroyed), that's okay.

- 4 slaves move to former Panama location, and build fortress.

Next: build a Dye city (PS 22 it will be). Anybody has an original name?

Which is why I proposed to use the 2/4 DD we have left to clear for subs.

With the 2/4 going N, and the 1/4 going E, we should have the first 2 pieces of sea covered. The expense is of course to Hub 3 will be exposed.

Hub 3 will be moved one tile top the N, otherwise our transports can't reach it.

We can use 1 transport from our M attack to chain units from NI onto the transport going W. This means we can move 2 transports there, instead of 1. I know it's not ideal, but it's a bit of protection against subs.

We still need luck in the next 2 steps, unless we want to use the DD on Hub 2 to go to Hub 1 (I would prefer him going S, to get in the neighbourhood of the transports)

If we want to use the 1/4 DD to scout for subs, it has to move 8666. That will end its turn in the middle of the ocean. There is little that can be done about this, even using a full mp DD doesn't help.

So, for the chaining, I propose the following:
1. move a 3 mp, 4/4 TR from NI 12 into NI. load 8 inf.
2. move a TR from NI 88 2.
3. move the loaded TR 8.
4. chain.
5. use the 4 mp 1/4 DD to move 8666
6. use the 2/4 DD to move 88877
7. use the TR at hub 3 to move 8
8. use the TR to move to same position (will be new Hub 3 from now on)
9. chain
10. move 8877 to Hub 2.
11. move 1/5 DD from previous hub 3 to NI (can either be used as scout next turn, or left to heal)


So far, no problems. But than... either we take the risk, and move the DD on Hub 2 22222 to get near the 3 transports, or we don't take risk, and send it to Hub 1. In turn, the DD on Hub 1 can then go to Hurricane.

I don't know. We won't be able to reach the transports this turn, nor the next. I think it might be better to wait until we've got enough ships to deal with them. However, there is a problem: if we don't move the DD from Hub 2 to the S, we can't scout, and so we don't know where they are either.

For the moment, I consider 8 sure infs more important than knowing where those last ships are next turn.

What is the concern about the arts and GoW? Not stacking them does not do much does it? They have free use of the rails, so they can use a 2 mover or a 3 mover and capture and send them anywhere?

So all we accomplish is to need extra units to cover for barbs. Well that can be minimized.

By spreading the arts, we require them to spend more units on the capture. 8 arts with 1 inf defending only needs 1 tank for a big bonus. 8 arts and 8 infs need at least 8 tanks.

okay, I'll take a small break, will be back in half an hour or so. At that time, I'll finish the save. If there is anything else anybody sees, let me know asap, please.

I'm thinking on chaining 8 inf to Stormia, scouting all the way, moving the DD near Blizzard S, moving the DD on Hub 2 to Hub 1 (one on Hub 1 to Hurricane), change Hurricane to a DD, set Eli to a civil defense, change WoC to 1-turn DD, and short rush 2 knights in Tornado and Typhoon to get 2 DDs next turn.
Further, Panama fortress gets ~6 defenders (tanks also possible), and 1 on 2 of the fort. All arties get an inf to accompagny them. the radar tower near NI gets protected by MI, as will the road with the 4 workers. Abilene gets a 1/4 TR scrapped for a settler. if there are TRs that can't get to NI, they go to Abilen, all the rest goes to NI, including all marines (if possible, of course) and the 3/4 CV.
Fighter on 4/4 CV gets rebased to Eli.
Stormia upgrades whatever defenders it can.
airport changed, as mentioned somewhere above.
wf tweaked where possible... and that's about it.

So any comments: shoot!

- DD inbetween Blizzard and Hurricane moves 22222. I poundered for a moment to let it go 22224 to get on top of the other one, but there won't be any DDs in the neighbourhood anyway, and subs are better to provoke into an attack. 2 tiles won on our race to the South can be more important.
Same reasoning for letting it set on top of the Inchoff sub.

- 2 galleys awoken, and get back to sleep again, just to make sure they were sleeping, and not fortified (it was half a year or so since I did that, so maybe best to redo it just to make sure).

That concludes the naval part.
