Alec G should use his force handwaves to help Austria stay on our side.
Alec G can into space.
Indeed, good breathing space there. If you ally with everyone you can, and beat up everyone else, then no one who wants to oppose you will be able to, and thus no partition.
I find their pessimism disturbing. Range is working hard to prevent evil, and if the sidekicks help out enough, maybe their own predictions will fail.
You know what would be really bad would be if Alec G was the ringleader of the traitors, and revealing the treason was just part of a sting operation against Range.
Have you managed to get any colonists? My most recent game as Poland saw me get some colonists, but also saw me become embroiled in civil war so that I couldn't really use them, being focused elsewhere.
It happened because I started a war and got some rebels from war exhaustion or whatever, and focused on winning the war before fighting the rebels.
The traitors must be conspiring with Poland's enemies to have them attack when Poland is distracted and using their powers of debate in the Senate to try and prevent anyone from noticing. And what is this turmoil in the next room? Cliffhangers!
Nice job !
Well paid traitors. I love cliffhangers.
