And I finally found some time to post a new Snippet. Here a playthrough of the first 12 turns of one of my test game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
turn 1: <\/strong>Playing Steelland. Spreading out <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 2:<\/strong> Still expanding outwards. Encountered minor regime Phoenixkeep in the south.
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 2:<\/strong> Managed to infiltrate a spy in their Zone. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 3:<\/strong> The enemy in the south has like 8000 militia force. I think I can take them and will start concentrating my forces before launching my offensive. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 3:<\/strong> My other neighbour are some raiders over in Deneba. I decided to keep them calm while I annex those farmers in the south first.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 3:<\/strong> Furthermore I decided to spend most of my Metal and Industrial Point production on buying a unit of buggies to give me some more offensive punch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 4:<\/strong> Still building up towards the attack into Phoenixkeep. In preperation I changed the CO of 1st MG Infantry Brigade with mr Wulfram, a guy that has at least some military skill\u2026 <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 4:<\/strong> Also my food surplus is down to +70 so I have ordered an Ice Mining Facility to be constructed so I’ll have the water to build a farm after. Rain ain’t spectacular on this Planet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 5:<\/strong> Increased soldiers’ salaries to get morale a bit higher. And heck I gave my Leaders a raise as well :)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 5:<\/strong> Slow build up, attack still some turns away. Note the blue bars indicating low readiness due to marching all the way south. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 6:<\/strong> Discovered Automated Rifles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 2:<\/strong> Managed to infiltrate a spy in their Zone. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 6:<\/strong> And had to pay off those pesky raiders is in the north to avoid an incursion while all my troops are focussing on Phoenixkeep.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 7:<\/strong> Upgrading all my Riflemen to Riflemen II, they have a Carbine instead of a Slugthrower rifle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 7:<\/strong> It seemed Phoenixkeep already knew what was going to happen next and they declared war on us first. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 8:<\/strong> Phoenixkeeps farmer militias are afraid and trying to entrench themselves in their City. I fully encircled it and then attacked with maximum forces and concentric bonus. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 8:<\/strong> Almost managed to destroy them in a single blow… but not quite. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 10:<\/strong> After giving my troops one turn to recuperate I attacked again and forced them to surrender. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 11:<\/strong> Gained a Zone and a complementary Fate Pack (4 Fate Cards) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn11:<\/strong> My two Zones… Halkan in the north and Psimchron (conquered from Phoenixkeep) in the south.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 12:<\/strong> Raised a second Brigade… it feels like those Raiders are stirring for war and I do not trust the Major Regime far west of me either.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
turn 12:<\/strong> Didn’t calm down those Phoenixkeepuch enough. Had to send in the troops to stop them from protesting. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
