	Turn 257: 1335AD Put an end to popups!

I'm opening the save. Not going to play it much as I don't have enough time, but just want to post the situation we are in if anything drastic shows up after I deal with the opening diplomacy and builds.

Well, that's as far as I'm going to go for now. It doesn't look like ND is interested in invading us for the moment, and even if there was an opening to invade, with all those units back home, it's not going to be a good idea.

We can hold where we are though in case things change. Keep our naval superiority. I think we can deal with Nuclear Subs now that we have the positions. Cover/Scout with DD/BB and the Subs moving forward, fortifying, scout with the cover moving 2 forward, then move everything back. Eventually we can rotate the Subs out and upgrade.

At max research we can get Space Flight in 6 turns. Maybe less if GoW finishes it first. Technically we can run a deficit while doing this, but I'm not sure what (if any) building and unit we would lose each turn. If RP can feed us 200gpt, then we'd be at 9 turns for Space Flight without going in the red.

ND has finished the UN as expected. GoW has switched to the Manhattan Project. So Nukes are just around the corner.

Who knows, maybe we get a break. I would still move our forces in position, it doesn't look like they have spotted us or those cities would be even harder defended. We knew chances were slim, they haven't improved. They're not gone yet either.

I would prepare as much as possible for a ND invasion, for one by pillaging the road as described in last thread. ND is going to invade us at one time or another, we better be prepared now.

"Be prepared"... anybody spots I've been a boy scout for over a decade?

The ocean between us and Lego is verified surface ship free (other than Voxian ships) from a line S from the S tip of Lego to the pole, and across from the N of RP to the N of Vox. We have pickets at those points. Then we have swept W to Flateria, except for a few tiles down near the poles, where the ships there lagged behind to deal with Lego's Transports down there.

There could be Subs though. We'd catch most Subs trying to get in between RP and Vox with our 2 Subs stationed there, but we don't have any Subs stationed S of Lego, and ND Subs heading E along the S pole wouldn't have been spotted either. Given when their Subs were built, outside one from Flateria, I don't think any of them could have made that run yet.

I've moved most of the ships into position for an invasion through Neu Mavsu or Flateria if it presents itself as an option. Verified all water tiles, except for the 4 coastal tiles between Flateria and Neu Mavsu, to Flateria as ship free

Got rid of the Fortress between WW and OG, only 1 MI there guarding 3 Workers. If ND has Transports in Candri, they might try to make that landing. Long shot, but it's the only tile they could get to this next turn.

Monsoon is going to lose 3-4 buildings next turn. Then nprobably the rest the next turn. I'm going to draft from there, as once we lose the Harbor it's going to starve. Probably we should sell off most of the buildings too.

I'm starting a SAM missile battery there. And we'll have several Jet Fighters built/upgraded next turn, but they won't be able to help until the next turn after that.

Changed most of the builds away from Marines. If ND does sail we will know it based on the battle reports, and can then change to Marines. If they don't, the Marines aren't necessary.

One thing I forgot to mention. GoW has 5 CV's in the stack that previously just had DD's and a NS. They are all empty at least.
