Round Two: British Empire goes and buys five more transports, with previous seven transports in or entering the Med. Sea. A transport from India lands a trooper & gun in contested Jordan. A second front in Mesopotamia will have to wait.
Turks build four troopers & a gun. Attacks in contested province of Jordan, 11 troopers & 3 guns versus British 6 troopers & 3 guns. Losses are 4 troopers(12 IPCs) and British losses of 5 troopers and a gun(19 IPCs).
Round Three: British Empire transport carries trooper from Sudan to Jordan, over Red Sea, along with troops from India and home islands, arriving in Jordan. Jordan now has 4 guns & 6 troopers,&, only one transport is on the way back to home islands. Britain also buys 2 transports, 2 planes, and, a trooper and gun.
Turks last chance to take back Jordan, before five more enemy transports land next turn. Purchase five more troopers for the capital’s defense. Attacking force in Jordan of 12 troopers & 3 guns versus British’s 6 troopers & 4 guns. The Turks lose 7 troopers(21 IPCs) & British lose 5 troopers & 2 guns(23 IPCs). Already Mesopotamia & Istanbul & Smyrna forces were thinned out to help in the attacks on Jordan. Harder to have forces to try to take back Jordan, in the future.
Round Four: British Empire buys a transport & tank & 6 infantry, more transports(empty) are heading to home islands. BBs clear landing for a trooper in Smyran(in order to keep any potential reinfrocements to Jordan from Istanbul busy). The rest are landed in Jordan, here 9 troopers and 4 guns take on the Jordan defenders of 5 troopers & 3 guns. The Turks lose 4 infantry & 2 guns(20 IPCs) & British lose 5 troopers(15 IPCs).
Turkish Empire buys 5 infantry, traveling from Syrian desert 2 troopers & gun arrive to boster Jordens defense(all the eastern proviences have are three troopers & a gun, for defense, located in Mesopotamia). Also Smyrna taken back for a lost of a trooper each side. Except for the capital’s defense of 6 troopers & a gun, only reserves are 6 troopers in Smyrna.
Round Five: British build 8 troopers & two guns. Transports arrive in Jordan and with 16 troopers & 6 guns take on the defending force of 3 troopers & 2 guns. For a lost of 4 troopers(12 IPCs) wipe out the Turkish defending force(17 IPCs).
Turks build 5 troopers in capital, move forces from Istanbul to join up with forces in Smyrna, and, has the 3 troopers & 1 gun move from Mesopotamia to Anakara. All Ottoman forces are in the western part of the Empire, with Jordan lost and eastern empire abandon.
Round Six: British Empire goes and builds 2 tanks, 1 plane, 1 gun, and, 3 troopers(to join the six troopers already on the home islands). Still transport in middle Med. Sea to land in Mid-East, of tank and trooper, &, in Atlantic approaching Med. Sea, of 3 transports of a trooper & gun each. Also 10 empties transports approaching home islands.
British attack from Jordan with 11 troopers & 7 guns & 2 fighters, vs., 12 troopers & 1 gun. British lose 5 troopers(15 IPCs) & Turks lose 8 troopers(24IPCs), the area Smyrna is contested.
Turks go build 5 troops for capital, &, using land forces already in capital, move them to Smyrna, to join their forces in contested province. Attack with 12 troopers & 2 guns, lose 11 troopers(33 IPCs). British lose 5 troopers & 5 guns(35 IPCs).
Turkey decides to let Britain win with a political victory, with Jordan lost, and, Smyrna contested, &, eastern empire abandon, and, still Brits. reinforcement arriving. The handwriting is on the wall(the capital has a built up force of just 5 troopers to defend it!), better to have some empire left, than none at all.
Next if Turkey just tried to defend itself by building a bigger navy.
