oh, i don’t blame him a bit. it was an aggressive, gutsy move. really, after his lousy dice on G1, i was pretty much expecting this, and figured on 3-4 tanks in caucasus, best case. i never dreamed there’d be 7 of them. but that’s to his credit… he took a chance. no fear, no favor.
nice move, EB. dice luck or not, it worked and now you’re the driver’s seat. tip of the hat.
i think your little one-trick wonder is gonna end soon EB - either you will be horribly burned a few times and stop trying this move, or people will begin to understand they just need to weather your initial bull rush and grind you down. problem is, your bull rush is working so WELL!!!  :lol:
i know… i’ve seen this move a few dozen times. it’s like any other strategy: it’s unbeatable if you get good luck. i’ve tried it a few times,… it’s never worked in the long run. took cau a couple of times, but never with enough to hold it, and usually end up seriously weakening japan’s air strength. i’ve never have gotten 3 hits with the italians (2 is the best i’ve done – and for a real lesson in the dangers of an italian strafe see my current debacle against ob&g), and certainly never had anywhere clsoe to 7 tanks survive to take the territory.
oh well, there’s other things to do this summer.
5 hits on defense in caucasus? seriously? that is absurd…
