1828 AD
Airport Rushed

Taking Sidon on the Persian mainland, our trusty marines will secure and build an airport (disband less experienced units). This will allow luxuries and resources, but more importantly, we can now funnel huge numbers of military units into Sidon.

(Our huge military force has nothing to fear from civilian resistance. Count eight resisters, one for the population of Sidon and seven for overlapping culture boundaries. Our forces total many dozens.)

1842 AD
Recon

Fighter reconnaissance is essential. Our bombers have pushed the enemy fleet back from the northern colonies on Balkan Island, but the enemy is once again concentrating their forces for an attack.
