My forces are stiffening their resistance and gathering offensive power. The Chinese have gathered their OMGs but what awaits them??? Good game!

Status: offline 		I generated about 10 maps before this one. All the rest were even worse and I guess I just got tired of generating the maps.

But yeah, the cutoff portions suck and it would be better not to have them. It's pretty much a guaranteed loss of cities and resources. Production from a few cities can't compete against a whole country's (or mulitple countries') production.

Or if they are going to exist, each side should have them.

But the best way next time could be for the map maker to just keep generating until there are no cutoff areas. Maybe a map pops up eventually like that.

Uh oh, I'm guessing this is something coming towards me

It still bums me out every time a damn Light Tank takes out one of my Mediums.

And I lose a Light Tank to a damn SMG. Argh!

But I've caused some damage too.

Or is it going to be against Web or All5n?

Status: offline 		I must say, you gentlemen seem to be much better organized this time around. A much better fight all the way round. The islolated pockets really do suck. Not only are we able to take advantage of the isolated pockets, but the mirrorish ticky box that Jreid used when setting up means that we get to do it to two of you. Nice. I'll buy you a beer if we meet Jeff. :-)

Status: offline 		I have found that its easier just to fix those things using the map editor. I generated around 40 maps for a new game last night before i gave up, found one that looked interesting, and figured out how to use the map editor. No cutoff areas, no more excuses.

Status: offline 		Yeah, using the map editor to add the necessary roads to link up the cutoff areas is the way to go.

I've never used the editor, so I never thought of it, but definately the way to go going forward.

You gentlemen might wish to express your concerns to Vic there as I have done.
Perhaps if enough of us ask, he will address this issue.

I hope you guys are enjoying the guerillas.

Status: offline 		Those guerillas are effing nasty and very difficult to kill. Normal infantry don't really stand a chance without at least a 3 hex side assault and some mortar or cav support. Armored cars do the trick but suck up the oil.

You did have to spend quite a bit of PP to get Guerilla III at the expense of quite a bit of production. Do you think you could have avoided having your country cut in half had you not spent all those PPs on that upgrade?

This style of play favors the Arabs(Guerilla), French(cheap fortification), and possibly Anglo(Rangers). Doesn't make up for good planning/coordination by any stretch.

Fun game.

On turn one, I guessed, quite correctly as it turned out, that you guys would jump on me and put extra effort toward denying me access to my resources.
I thought that there was no point in building factories with no raw and then handing them over to you, so this seemed like a good idea at the time. (still does)
Probably nothing could have stopped a resolute coorindated attack from cutting my country in half, the same as almost nothing could have helped you last game.
Sometimes you get a shtty deal, and you just play the cards you're dealt.
Karma dictated that if I was to be put in the path of a mugging, then I should get an Arab nation and get to act like my frog and "Never give up"

There are always thousands of things that need doing in one of these turns, they take a while.
I am sure you can all relate.

Status: offline 		I apologize for the delay. I worked 65 hours this week and only took 5 hours off this morning to catch up on my team games. I actually had the turn done two days ago but I needed to go over everything to keep the team working together. I should have a lighter load next week, I hope.
Nice pressure, but I am like my frog!
Fun game, a much tougher fight this time.
