This picture was taken the turn before the nuke would have been developed. Assuming you got in first, you would need to nuke the city just below the pink base. This would also clear out anything in city number four.
Your in a game where you are at the point where you have alot of money and the nuke, but the closest factory to your enemy's base seems just out of reach with a Herc/Commando by one or two spaces.
As far as I can tell, you have two options: One is to build roads with a dozer, but that can only take you so far. Two. Knowing that farm movements equal one move over any terrain you can build a path to your enemy's base by building farms at the new cities you capture along the way.
Farms, once purchased, are built in a clockwise formation starting at the position due
east, or 90 degrees. A farmless city can have eight farms built around it; that is,
if there is nothing impeding the surrounding land.
This picture was taken the turn before the nuke would have been developed. Assuming
you got in first, you would need to nuke the city just below the pink base. This
would also clear out anything in city number four.
From the new factory located at number one, you would load a herc with a dozer, two commandos and two artilleries. The herc would go fourteen spaces to stop one spot south west of city number two. If the city was empty you would march right in. After that, move the dozer in then lay down one road section to the north east of the city number two. With the commando, you will take city number three but only have four moves remaining. This is not enough and you will need the other commando.
Build eight farms in city number three. This will cost $360.
The second commando will now arrive at city number three with six moves remaining. Assuming that the farms have been built, the commando would head north east to arrive at the city just south of the pink base with one move remaining. The base would be yours.
The point of this Farms/movement strategy is to understand that farm movement equals one and that they are laid down in a clockwise fashion. In addition, the distance a herc/commando can reach is 24 spaces and 28 for the cargo/commando combination.
The benefits might not seem so great on a forest map, but in snow or a desert map, this strategy is somewhat more valuable.
