@Ghostglider said in 2025 Playoff-final - Ghostglider vs Adam514 (allied +22):

If I have time, please just next map with ARM moved from Sakha to Ulaanbaatar

That’s fine, you can make the edit on my Russian move.

@FranceNeedsMorePower

Your opponent needs to have the opportunity to pick casualties, particularly in a big fight like this. Do I want to sink my carriers, or just take 1 damage and hope they survive to repair, or take 0 damage do planes can still land on them?

You must post the game file at every decision point your opponent has, and ask for their feedback.

Can you post where you are at now?

Oh, that’s unexpected but great!

Now we can talk freely since the game is over. Are you considering asking @crockett36 to do a video by any chance? We could ask him to not say much if we want to do mostly 1 on 1 discussion, just curious what you think. You know I like talking, and we’re both avid A&A fans, so you name it.
