@panther Thank you very much panther…

@Brallervaerk:

Hobbes: do you know which country the list is from?

Thanks again…

The list on the link has all the 5 countries

OK. Obvious distinction that I missed there.  Thanks!

@Hobbes:

he Article Submission section hint hint -

The plus side of writing articles here is not having to deal with $%@! editors.

The bad part is . . . having to do the editing yourself.

:-P :-P :-P

But then you get a specific strat associated with your name… just imagine it being referred on the forums as ‘Bunnies Flying Windu strategy’. IT’S COOL  :mrgreen: oh yeah!

Voted.It is going to be a close one between the Yaks and HMS Prince of Whales i suppose…I voted both :)

Hate to ask

Don’t be controlled by your hate.

Fear leads to hate.  Hate leads to anger.  Anger leads to Dark Side Ice Cream Munchies.  And that leads to high blood pressure and cholesterol, and the ability to use the Force Grip on your enemies.

Which seems pretty cool when you use it on your mean boss, until the Jedi cops show up.  And then it’s all celery sticks, man, and no veggie dip.

NOT FUN.

Bunnies, have you been eating those weird mushrooms again?  :-D

I voted the DD, it is the backbone of every defensive or mixed fleet.

The CC imho is the least usefull unit, but still has some use in large fleets. The question always is, why buy a CC and a DD with 20 IPC when the same money can get you a BB. Well, the answer is fleet volume.
When playing Dice, you can get lucky or unlucky. But, no matter how lucky you get, one BB will only get you one hit (in att or def) while one CC and one DD, if you are lucky, will get you two hits. So, for every second BB I buy, I prefer adding some pure volume in my fleets by bying a DD and a CC.

Another equivalent is to buy 2 SS and one DD, but when def is a primary concern and volume is needed, 2 SS are no more than fodder, given the attacker will have a DD (or else his air hits won t be assigned on the SS, and they will be useless even for fodder…).

The optimum setup for a mixed fleet (for example a US2 pacific fleet aiming for south pacific in US3) is 4 SS, 3 DD, 1 CC, 2 AC loaded, 1 BB, 2 TT (carrying 4 inf). Total IPC cost 82 (buy US1 2 AC, DD, SS, US2 1 ftr, 1 TT+1 inf, 2 SS, DD).

Good point. Allow me to elaborate on this.

I’ll usually take over China on J1 to make sure that America doesn’t build an IC on Sinkiang, but I don’t use that as my route through Asia. I just hold China, and use the Russian or Indian route to move through Asia.
