i guess he changed his mind and put only 2 mech in se mexico, and i know why.  but there was no reason to stay in suriname.  there wasn’t any reason last turn either.

COW MUST DIE.

[boldfresh]

Im gonna go out on a limb and aay you guys are seeing some things for the first time in this game.  :wink:

[dutchmand]

@DutchmanD:

LOL.  you might be the first guy to keep an aa gun in eus all game long - what is he doing there?  LOL

[dutchmand]

He’s protecting the homeland jerk!  Just because Hitler empties out his capital doesn’t mean my citizens will tolerate it.

:-D  :lol:

send him to CUS at least, PLEASE.  he cannot even resist a walkin and there are no bombers circling, YET.

True story, a lone aa gun saved my butt against a buddy of mine.

We were playing classic A&A and Japan was kicking butt as usual (hint I was axis). The axis were poised to win with Japan controlling Asia and the Pac. So Japan sent it’s navy to the med to help Germany stay alive and Russia had just been taken by Japan.

We were playing with Paratroopers and he somehow snuck a US bomber in range of a completely empty Japan save a lone aa gun. He flies said bomber with a little infantry to walk-in. Note, all my production had been going towards the mainland factories and the nearest IJN transport was 3 moves away from recapturing it.

I had to roll the aa gun to save my capital from being sacked and all the plunder money from Moscow + Japanese production from falling into the wrong hands. Needless to say, my aa gun rolled a ‘1’ and I ended up winning the game. I was always extra cautious about his bomber location from then on.

Now THATS a gteat story.  Thanks for sharing.

[seth4god]

Yeah, I thought so too. My buddy however was pretty pissed at me for awhile. He laughs at it now, but oh boy he could’ve passed for a tomato there for a bit, he was THAT pissed.

[gamerman01]

Seth, you are a complete weasel for rolling that 1.  He deserved to take it.
Curse of the clever.
