TURNTURNTURN

Greater East Med Co-Prosperity Sphere built 4 nuclear warheads, and 1 bomber. They also try to bomb Avarice, Wrath and Envy!
Serpenstan built 4 Nuclear warheads, 1 air cover and 1 bomber. They also deploy air cover to protect Fer-de-lanchester. Finally they try to bomb Budapest!
Good Nation built 4 nuclear warheads, and 2 missiles. They also launch missiles at Alexandria, Athens, Constantinople, Rome, Venice, and Damascus!

Combat Outcomes:
Greater East Med Co-Prosperity Sphere bomber encounters no resistance en route to Avarice, and destroys it.
Greater East Med Co-Prosperity Sphere bomber encounters no resistance en route to Wrath , and destroys it.
Greater East Med Co-Prosperity Sphere bomber encounters no resistance en route to Envy, and destroys it.
Serpenstan bomber encounters no resistance en route to Budapest, and destroys it.
Good Nation missile streaks towards Alexandria unopposed, and destroys it.
Good Nation missile streaks towards Athens unopposed, and destroys it.

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

Only 5B this turn, oh no.

Spoiler: Good Nation Cities (click to show/hide)

Hm, more counter strike me thinks.

Use ICBM on the following cities of Greater East Med Co-Prosperity Sphere:
Damascus
Florence
Milan


...no nukie Prague this turn, I'm partial to that city.

1 ICBM unused.
Build 1 warheads and 2 missiles.

...I probably won't survive the game, but I think I'll destroy the most cities.  Calling that a win.  Or at least 2nd place.
Start negotiating surrender with Serpenstan, request Cease-Fire with them during negotiations.  Terms: Good Nation will disarm once Greater East Med Co-Prosperity Sphere is destroyed, hand over ICBM research, and request semi-autonomous government as part of Even Greater Serpenstan.
We'll let the politicians argue over what "semi-autonomous" means.  But Good Nation probably ain't gonna rise again.
Final term non-negotiable: Request air cover for Lust.  It's my favorite.  :P
...even though all cities are subject to renaming upon joining Serpenstan.  To the victor go the spoils!and I like your names better
I'd suggest Greater East Med Co-Prosperity Sphere allow the potentially only surviving city Prague join Even Greater Serpenstan, but won't that get confusing with Lust also joining?   ;D

EDIT: And sneakily volunteer as replacement player for Egan_BW, if I can smuggle out my ICBM research to add to what they already have.

Bomb Lust, Gluttony, Sloth and Pestilence I guess.

Use my... 4b? to make 4 new warheads, not that I'll get the chance to use them probably.

Many cheers for our new Overlord, Serpenstan!

I of course get to say this, since I'm still alive, unlike...other nations.

Time for feedback: what worked? What didn't? Why did Egan_BW quit?

I'm thinking of making Air Cover cheaper, to make other delivery systems more viable and give warheads an additional tier of ineffectiveness (so they would start out destroying a city 50% of the time, then upgrade to 80% and finally 100%) to prolong the game.

The rule that bombers could only attack once was unstated, so I planned around that. When that turned out to not be the case, my strategy didn't hold up, so there was no point in playing.
