    struggling… yes i would imagine so.  japan is dead, it’s just a matter of time.

  • 12

    you have odds on the carolines.  that’s your only move.

  • 12

    moscow will never fall so no need to wait for germany to roll on russia.

  • 12

    man, do i gotta spell this whole thing out for you?

  • 12

    @Boldfresh:

    man, do i gotta spell this whole thing out for you?

    it’s spelled O - V - E - R

    game 2?  of i can go on beating the snot out of you.

  • TripleA

    I will explain it after the game.
    ~

    As far as carolines goes. That is a stupid attack. 1) no transports 2) I would be  attacking with more expensive units 3) only a portion of my air makes it instead of the full might of Japan 4) I cannot take carolines at good odds 5) I have no incentive to attack.

  • TripleA

    I am going to go back to sleep. I will probably post this later. I have to do my other games real quick.

  • 12

    nothing to explain - just show me what you got.  i don’t think you got anything.

  • 12

    yeah, just keep staring at the board in agony…  it’s over cow - accept it and move on to game 2 where you will at least have a chance.

  • 12

    hate to tell ya cow, but carolines is the last best shot you are going to get at turning this thing around.  i mean, if you get upper 1%, you could be back in business in the pacific!

  • 12

    trust me cow, the carolines.  you are gonna regret it later if you don’t take the shot.

  • 12

    don’t agonize too much cow, in all likelihood you’re toast.

    Well I thought about playing an econ game and I realized I ain’t got time for that.

    So yeah I will just throw stuff at you and hope for the best. I really like the industrial bombing run I just had.

  • 12

    now it is totally over.  you will never sniff another pacific victory city or moscow for that matter.

  • 12

    there were some things you could do, till china whacked your infantry stack.  reload and retry.

  • 12

    @Boldfresh:

    now it is totally over.  you will never sniff another pacific victory city or moscow for that matter.

    now that i’ve had a chance to look this over…. geez what a pitiful move.  once you are outside the lines of your playbooks you really turn into a pretty bad player.  that’s the key against cow, make it past round 8.  :lol:

  • 12

    tripleA not keeping track of what fighters are on what acc’s is such a pain…
    i have 5 anzac ftrs on 3 USA accs but tripleA thinks there are 2 on 1 acc
    and 1 on the other with 2 on the anzac acc.  hope it let’s me edit
    appropriately - what a pain.  i would think tripleA could handle them just as
    it properly does with ground troops on mixed transports - tracks them just
    fine.

  • 12

    geez this mixed fighter/acc thing is driving me nuts!  i’m probably going to screw something up because it’s not working right.
