Thanks it’s fixed… C’mon, don’t tell me that doesn’t look cool…
totally amazing.
Now he just needs to hire some locals to dress up as orcs so he can smite them with a foam sword while yelling in Elvish.
that post wasn’t in the topic which made this entire topic make no sense.
why are only half the posts still alive in this topic? also he needs a moat.
wow complete and utter fail. I think we need more russian battleships. I tend to run more battleships than infantry for russia when i play. they don’t include enough in my own humble opinon
@Fleetwood:
Yes.
you’re on. email is ak_zorro_47@yahoo.com to do PBEM. I’ll be bidding 10 so please bid more than that ;) all you need is my email to start PBEM on triplea, right?

@Brain:
Yeah, we can’t talk about the US economy, but we can talk about the Haiti economy. What’s up with that?
stop failing at trolling please :)
@Fleetwood:
I bid about the same way, only I’m hesitant to go under 8. If I really wanted Allies, I might bid 10 but 9 is the usual cutoff.
I bid 7 when i want axis, 9 when i want allies, and 8 if i don’t care. I would like to try a 10 bid with a German fighter though. would be really interesting to have an extra 5 fighters by round 2.(4 fighters for Germany’s 40 IPC start). I usually put my bid in the Ukraine of Africa just depends on my mood. A sub/transport bid would be interesting though.
If you’d like to try the fighter bid and the 4 fighter G1, I’d play you. I’ve never tried it or played against that sort of strategy.
sure, do you have triple a?

I hope that was sarcasm.

Another Panzer divison WITH A GOOD SUPPLY LINE!! Thats what killed Rommel was lack of supplies.
that’s why I voted for the aquila; an CV would had helped keep the supply line alive and develop air superiority in the sea and on the coast.
I thought that it was already stated on an earlier forum that Canada was going to be receiving income, thereby making them a power. They already have their own flag/symbol in AAP40.
i can think of 100 arguments against a canadian power. would there be any benefit at all to adding it? Other than making the UK already more divided and weak. :P
A Bridge too far and Enemy at the Gates. ( I don’t know i really liked a enemy at he gates but i’m the 1st one to even bring it up) I thought saving private ryan was good but it’s not the greatest movie ever. it was just a good movie.
I actually saw Gallipoli tonight. Even though it had probably one of the saddest, albeit predictable, movie ending ever, I thought the movie was fantastic. One of my favorite movies now. The only other wwi movie i saw was flyboys and that was good wasn’t magnificent but was pretty damn good. Is All quiet as good as I heard it to be? Im afraid it will be rather predictable and lose its value. plus this is 2010 and a lot of movies are ruined by time. :mrgreen: ( like afro movies ;) )
It is a game of attrition.
You must maximize your economic advantage by inflicting greater losses than you suffer by choosing favorable battles. You take territory and thus gain more economic advantage.
It isn’t an either/or proposition. It is also a bit of a chicken or the egg paradox.
Which came first? Choosing a favorable battle or economic advantage?
I completely agree here. However I think it is important to keep in mind that the loss of a capital is denying a entire nation its income, indefinitely(hopefully). that’s why the battles seem more important because all the economic weight is placed in one place. A lot easier to blow a bank up than to individually rob people. Another important party in the economics of it is Time.(projection power). if you’re marching to moscow the troops in Germany are no help to you this turn. So this is my argument to do with tanks. Tanks essentially increase your tempo by 1. Tanks are important buys offensively because of the tempo and the fact infantry are for defence.(as pointed out already). Call me old school but I remember this article on yahoo.(Caspian sub???) it talked about skew and shields. infantry cost less so they have to die before the more costly units. (why i would prefer any day 5 inf and 1 tank to 4 tanks)
So really I think this game comes down to maximizing available force. (increasing income, killing units and defending your own units both directly and indirectly)
@Amon:
there is an information that haiti lost 60 % of its BDP in 60 seconds
:((((((
Haiti was poorest nation in the western hemisphere to begin with. Not to sound cynical but if anything the earthquake probably grew its economy. =/ if you include all the sympathy aid it received.
oh yeah the math. +5 for German NO, +2 for leningrad in German hands, +2 for out of Russian hands. that is a +9 diffirence in Germany’s favor. not to mention the factory. so you can spend 9 ipcs per turn there and still come out economically better than just retreating.
okay it looks to me that most people just give up lenigrad. this seems silly to me. The Eastern front is basically a zero sum game between Russia and Germany. okay because Archangel is a NO plus it blocks any blitzing through the Urals even if you gave up leningrad you will HAVE to hold archangel. ( or at the very least trade back and forth). Leningrad’s fall would put a German factory right on the front line. It isolates the Baltic peninsula from reinforcement and allows the allies to make a nice landing there. So why not try to hold lenningrad at all costs and if it becomes untenable just either attack a weak point or try to hook back up with moscow via a belrussian retreat/attack or just fall back to archangel. Leningrad just seems too important to me to let go of it.
as to the reason of my extended absence I found this game cybernations.net (rather fun) but it was basically eating up all my online gaming time (if you’ve played it, you’ll know being government in an alliance takes some effort the actual game only takes like 5 minutes a day) :P now that i’ve lost a lot of interest in it and no longer involved in my alliance i’m picking this back up. also is it me or are the boards awfully slow?
Hey guys I’m back :D will be more active now. a lil wiser a lil older and whole lot more cyan like :D served now with 100% more triplea. ;) just wanted to let you guys know i’m back. I love how my karma points changed sense I was last on. lol sad to see some people have left and glad to see others still on Jenn will be a great grandmother and still have the most posts on this site. Thrawn, Grewhr and I still have the biggest topic though :D I hope those two are still around. anyway sup guys?
Well that stinks.
I liked C-Subs papers. While yes they have become dated they are good food for thought for a newer player and it is important to have a variety of tools in the old bag of tricks for when certain situations present themselves. I was looking forward to some of their ideas about AA50. Oh well.
RIP C-Sub.
Agreed. Rip :cry:
