Spoiler: Rules (click to show/hide)

As according to Summoners Rulebook 32 of Edition 7 and Commander's Rulebook .15, also of edition 7, I summon a Knight to QED-i7 to gain control of the F.O.R.D. sector.

Per the Campaign Manual, section 10, subsection 2 (Deployment of forces via air into an uncontested area), I airdrop a construction platoon on the resource node at Point Charlie in the C.H.E.V.Y. sector.

A bold move, though I counter by combining my deployment phase with my production phase, as allowed in the 9th Mechanical Rulebook, to summon a Helicarrier from the Marvel Multidimensional expansion and use it to take control of the Usa nation, outlined in the USA Parody portion of the Nation Manual I, as a supplier state, as found in Production Manual 483, as well as its standing military, as according to the 12th Conqueror Mechanics rulebook.

As per Section Seven, Paragraph Five of Bill's Body Works I form a lasting alliance with one player, in this case GentlemanRaptor.
As this is considered a minor action I am also allowed to make a full action, in this case using Campaign Manual, section 10, subsection 1 (Airdropping combat forces into uncontested areas) to deploy a standard Soviet VDV division (as outlined by Soviet Force Structure, Fifth Edition next to GentlemanRaptor's forces.

((Got it. Sounds fun.))

Appreciate the help, Aseaheru. To complement this deployment, I am going to utilize the construction platoon, in my production phase, to build a Field HQ Mk.IV, which is listed on the Assembly Difficulty: Moderate table in the Battlefield Constructions supplement to the Campaign Manual.

Hmm.  Seems I am being harried by two sides.  No matter, as the Usa nation has an ability that allows me to deploy twice in its territory, if I choose to go there, as according to its entry.  I will use both to deploy two Jaegers from the Pacific Rim Expansion.

I will then use my production in both territories I own, the F.O.R.D. Sector and Usa, to construct a mass fabricator, from the Sci-Fi Technologies Manual IV in each, which will grant me an additional production in each.

I shall then deploy a Jaeger at each, the Helicarrier at the Usa, and the Knight at the F.O.R.D.  In addition, I will also fortify both territories borders with an equal distribution of the 24 infantry, 4 helicopter, 6 tank, and 8 jet platoons that were granted to me by my conquering of Usa in its manual.  I will hold the 4 special teams in reserve, as well as the 50 nuclear missiles.  I do enjoy all the bonuses that territory affords me.

In which case, I am going to utilize the ability of the Field HQ Mk.IV to produce "adequate defenses and troops for a moderately sized area" as outlined in Battlefield Constructions. For the C.H.E.V.Y. Sector, since it is adjacent to a lasting ally's forces as outlined in Bill's Body Works, I can draw on the reserves of the nation whose troops are being used by said lasting ally. I deploy, using my Resource Point bonus, the Apocalypse Tank Prototype (see the Soviet Superscience expansion to Soviet Force Structure, Fifth Edition) along with 12 infantry platoons, 4 tank platoons, 3 fighter squadrons, and 2 AA platoons. All aforesaid platoons, except the jets, are dug in to Level 3 of 5, again per Battlefield Constructions.

As I recall from Core Manual I, are you not only able to produce a single super-unit or platoon for each resource point?  The vast armies I have were the bonus from gaining control of the Usa nation.

That may be correct. In which case, I will restrict the production for the moment to the Apocalypse Prototype, and have the others produce on a turn delay starting with the infantry.

Well, I feel that another player wouldn't be remiss in this game, so I enter as the Elemental Faction from the Fire And Ice: Magic expansion pack and set my connection to Fire, giving me lowered movement over water but more powerful overall military strength and increased Production for all city states.
Upon this I construct two element catalysts, giving me free construction of one elemental based on my connection per turn.
