always Russia, they need the IPC’s more than any other allied country

@ShredZ:

Ok so hold everything, when German has Karelia/Belorussia/Ukraine - and if yer playing Russia you just let them have that extra 7ipcs ?

-I never let the Germans hold Ukr…Karelia must be given up…it is almost impossible to retake if the Germans aren’t foolish enough to build navy…I let the Germans keep Belorussia…that country isn’t in really good position for either side…

@marine36:

My favorite first round buy for Russia is 2 Inf. 2 Arty. 2 Armor. this packs a powerful punch, and a good defense. theres also enough to keep russia alive from the swarms of Germans.

I think artillery buys with Russia are a waste of money….Russia needs tanks more than anything…Russia has to have a flexible front(one which could shift at any moment) with tanks(which move 2 spaces) Russia can shift it’s attack quickly, with artillery your attack power doesn’t threaten as many spaces…but tanks stacked in WRus are in very good position to counter attack(against Japan or Germany)

@thestor:

I wouldn’t buy a third IC for Britain. Particulary not the combo India / Australia. Sure it keeps Japan good at bay, but to take advantage of the two ICs, you will completely neglect Germany as Britain.

My friend had an IC palced in India only, and while he managed to keep India still, Germany is only now starting to feel pressure form Britain, and we have palyed along, long time.

-We’re talking about colonial garrison, which means you get to place a free one before the game even starts…

@88:

I personally never buy one unless I’m playing a newbie, because I think the armor is a better all around purchase

-OK…so you agree. Good…

But seriously,FW190F…I’m glad you accepted my challenge…many say they will play me, and don’t follow through with it…you are brave to try out LL and face me at the same time :wink:

Egypt will be taken first turn by Germany, so that’s obviously a bad choice….Australia is way too far away from things that are most important in the game…and it will only “pester” Japan…India is risky…Personally, I wouldn’t do it…I guess that leaves South Africa…it seems safe, but be wary of Japan…once they bring their navy to the Red Sea, this may pose a problem…but I’d say South Africa if anything…

@88:

3 Inf/ 3 Arm is nice if you plan on taking out the Ukraine. That’s a nice move as you kill a German Ftr which makes some of their opening moves a little more dicey. Russian tanks NEED to be replaced, or you’re in trouble.

-Absolutely, and I almost always take the Ukraine(unless 4 or more units are bid there)…so this follows my reasoning…

@FW190F:

Well I already bought 1 ftr on Russia’s first two rounds and almost won. I lost because of extreme bad luck in one key battle.

-Were you playing me? Nope…I would’ve made you pay for that mistake…just like I made you pay for your bid placement :wink:

@ShredZ:

Are you skim reading or something? There are 3 main territories form W.Russia that can/should be traded each round, how do you plan to do that with 2 ftrs and no bombers?

Should be? Really? Why don’t you go to FoE and check some of my games…I’o? ve yet to lose a game of Revised…Do you play with a group of friends at home? Where do you get this infGermany has a much greater ability to trade than Russia does(5-6 fighters+bomber)…why would you waste money on a fighter when to “out-trade” Germany you will need about 4 more fighters? This game isn’t all about trading…If you trade 3 countries a turn as Russia, that means ~6 infantry per turn is wasted on trades…Germany out produces Russia by a lot, and when Russia wastes it’s time trading every country it can…Germany will grow stronger, especially when Russia wastes it’s money on a fighter…that only adds to the problem…

@ShredZ:

…and thats where i am right now. what would be the reason for getting 2 ftrs. on the first round me wonders… ??

-What would be the reason for buying a fighter at all for Russia? Personally, I think 3inf,3tnk is usually the best bet….I’m not in the mood to explain :wink:

yes…bad wording…I would say that the doctor is doing his job…he doesn’t feel like a “hero”…and I doubt that there are doctors who are pro life that do this procedure…so my guess is that they do…but I put no in the poll…don’t know why…

Osama is hiding for a multitude of reasons…I would guess mainly because he wouldn’t want to face the torture that the US would use to get info out of him…I’m sure he’d rather die than be forced to reveal vital info about his operation…

@jedimaster:

that dude is out of his gord…but he thinks what hes doing is right. "the koran teaches…(fill in the blank) is what they say. they think that they are doing gods will.

But is this his motive for action? To follow the Koran? I would say no…what Osama really wanted to do was to create a second Caliphate(Islamic conquest/unification)…in order to do this, he had to find a way to gain support and make the most powerful nations(United States) weaker…or at least seem weak…the muslim world had increasing hate from the 1990’s toward the USA…Osama wanted to fuel this rage into a conquest…as crazy as he may seem, he was actually a strategic mastermind with the operation he set up, and how much he figured out about US intelligence and security…his ideals may be messed up…but they aren’t necessarily based on the Koran…

@Janus1:

i dont think the South Korean’s even like Kia, i think its just their insulting assumption of what americans like

Ya, Americans like cheap, foreign pieces of crap over quality domestic products….that’s all…

@Janus1:

btw, try telling the South Koreans it sucks, :wink:

Nah, but Kia sucks….I hope everyone can agree with that…

@Janus1:

and Star Craft (and the expansion Brood War)

It sucks, like most many RTS’s it comes down to who can make the most troops the fastest and send them in waves….got kinda old for me…turn-based all the way(but I do like age of empires)…

@theSexualHarrassmentPanda:

It looks like they are having a 2nd Edition tourney with 2man teams so I guess I will need a partner. Hmm…I wonder who else is going?

I live about 3 hours away from Indy…but I wouldn’t be “PRO” enough to be with the all-mighty Panda Express… :D

@DarthMaximus:

I can email it to ya if you’re interested.

Nah, don’t worry about it….

could you post a map?
