2/3s of the way through my turn.

First third was deciding, strategically, what to do.
Second third was deciding, tactically, what to do, and setting the orders.
Third third will be the rest of my empire.

I finally paid attention to Sun-Tzu, and cracked open that book again to check a couple passages. It would have been better if I'd paid attention to it from the beginning (good generals pick fight only after victory has been assured, bad generals fight first, and only later look for victory).

Still, I think I'll come out victorious, unless Abysia has an ace up their sleeve. I'm not certain what their pretender has on hand, but I can guess from their nation page, chassis, and titles.
