    @Stough said in Mainah V Stough OOB IV.2:

    I’m with you, this is the better move- unless there is a counter that we don’t see right now (abundantly possible for me, less so for our).

    LOL. Your moves are making washing the dishes look really good. I’m already mentally building Hitler’s bunker. “We’ll put the lamp over there, the radio and cake room will be …”

    Counter - It really opens up Egypt and the UK both - diversion of too much air from UK and ground forces from Egypt. 2 chaps in the league are kicking my butt right now after I used this opener. I am abandoning it for now.

  • S**ts crazy fluid in the Pac.

    @Stough
    Yeah - and weirdly easier for me.


  • Tell me you are currently blocked from US in Korea or Japan?

  • '23 '20

    Europe just seems so crowded. Its far more like your boxing analogies. Foot work, block and weave. Some small hits, some forceful hits, some heavy blows. Pacific is more like 2 pairs of sword fighters - far more movement, far less actual striking, and its either a nick or a mortal blow.


  • Despite losing the money islands for now, I finally feel like I can breath in the Pac. … famous last words.

    Great analogy on your part btw way.


  • Everyone except for the US is two moves away from losing a Capital. It’s unnerving to say the least.

    @Stough said in Mainah V Stough OOB IV.2:

    Tell me you are currently blocked from US in Korea or Japan?

    For combat movement - yes.
    But If i destroy the DD blocker - I can move there in NCM. Not that it’s a good idea right now.


  • Wouldn’t the kamikaze kick in? Or do I need guys in the water for that to happen?
