Military Action Revisited, Part 2
We previously decided to attack the Americans. Subsequent discussion has suggested some problems with that.

So I repeat the question:

What should we do militarily at the moment?

My impression is that subsequent discussion was about the best tactics to use, not about whether to change the strategy.

Let's build a fort next to Washington, position as many attackers as we need and go for it.

We have to build up a military force and get our logistics straightened out before we can launch an attack on Americans.

It might be worthwhile to swing by Zulu's for a visit on the way, their Great Wall is ending soon

Don't we have metallurgy? With the advent of cannons, the Great Wall becomes obsolete.

I like the plan of Muskets and Cannons on a fortress, though we should co-ordinate our forces so that they assemble together, rather than leaving some close and vunerable to counterattacks.

We have Metallurgy; the Great Wall is thus expired.
