Dear Sister Miriam,
Thank you so much for the cruciform pines, they'll look lovely in the commons at Gaia's Landing. Ever since we became pact sisters you've been a valuable buffer between myself and Morgan and don't think it goes unappreciated.
*But*
Please, *please* stop giving me military units. It's very sweet of you, but I really can't afford to sustain them given my socio-economic structure, a Democratic Green Power state can only support so many troops you know, and I've just about reached my limits in the cities around our borders. Every time you give me a unit I just lose out on what little industrial capacity I have, and those bases really need the improvements, seeing as they're old bases of yours that are still recovering from war.
It seems like every time I give the units back to you, you just hand them to me, and every time I use the personell and materials in them to help with my construction, you just give another unit to me. It's really very generous of you, but it's getting too much. Perhaps you should consider building less yourself, or posting them to your northern frontier where they can keep an eye on our dear 'friend' Morgan.
Anyway, I must be going, there's a new boil about to give birth and I promised I would attend.
Love to Brother Samuel, hope his stigmata get better soon.

WyldKarde, or should I call you Diedre? Just move those newly given units into a base and disband them... You get 50% of their production cost. So just look at it as if she is sending supply rovers to you.

That's what I've been doing, it was just worrying that the daft bat kept giving away her armies when all there is between me and Morgan is the thin line of her few remaining bases. Luckily the general melee between me & Miriam and Morgan and Lal vs Zakharov, Yang and Santiago is keeping us friendly for now. 'specially since Santiago joined the opposition having nuked University Base, so they're not the most united group of factions.

Or self destruct them and watch the explosions...
