Well, Habs certainly destroyed me. I didn't have the best of luck, but I amplified that by playing like a moron.

In other news, I am looking good against Berkut.

In the end, Berkut defcon suicided at the very end of the game. It was coming in pretty close by the end though.

In my new game against Habs, I am 10 points up, but my board position is precarious. We're just on the cusp of the late war, so if War-games shows up, I should be winning this, if not it's probably trending to Habs.

Yeah, that game was frustrating - I could see that there was really no way to get over that slight edge you had in points, and in board position. You played it very well.

I really suck at this game.  It doesn't help that I have no idea what I'm doing.

It can be learned. Habs is really a super teacher, so if you can play against him he'll show you how you could improve.

The AI beats me every time.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Challenges very welcome, but expect some slow going due to time zones, kids and career. I'll be in Fiji week after next for a week and won't have steam access there either.

The site itself was recommended to me by a TS-veteran friend. He wiped the floor with me twice now.

I find this an excellent resource. Abuse it a lot.

Skimming this I stalked the following:

Holy crap Habbaku


Drakken or mod can you post and update this in the first post?

I finally won a match.  Me versus the AI.  European control in the first round as the Soviets.

Lost against Solmyr after 10 rounds. Since he apparently played 179 hours Im not feeling too bad about it but still...Grats Solmyr! Hopefully ill get you next game.





In better times when there was hope...




In another game as USA with a random I got this hand in early mid war. I know I got "will do for you" but wtf should I headline if I want to keep it? Ugh, game is harsh!

Nasser? It's 1 ops and you don't care about more Soviet influence in Egypt (in fact you want to get rid of Nasser before Sadat comes around).

:yes:  Without much else in the way of info, I'd headline Nasser there.  Gets rid of a bad event at minimal cost in OPs and doesn't appreciably harm your position.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Don't worry Sheilbh, you'll soon find out plenty of new, original ways to DEFCON-suicide yourself. :console:

I've been playing this game since it was released. And I don't mean the computer game.

And I still DEFCON-suicide myself now and again.
