Agh! My first badly chosen MPP! Same game, I MPP'ed with the English after my war as a deterrent for them against China (and to boost my rep with England).
China is the second largest country, but way behind in the civ score. China has a large military (I've seen the battleships & bombers to prove it), and his military engine is several turns on a transport away. However, China shares several large islands with the English. China just declared war on England!
My strategy for war will be a defensive one since I don't want to expense a distant war against a militaristic civ. (1) I have located his two sources of iron and saltpeter. One battleship group is heading for one source and one transport is heading for the other. (2) I will donate Fission to the English cause and give her one of my two sources of Uranium. Even though Lizzie is annoyed with me, I can't have China gaining any more ground. The enemy of my enemy is the best friend of my cousin twice removed on my father's side (or something like that).
Also, I used my leader to rush the UN under the assumption that I could deny a call to vote. Any vote will be between me and China with England casting the deciding vote.
How's them apples?
