YES! 10th!

Just joking.

Nelva Knight Opulon, to report :

I would like to correct some things related to my AA scenario :

NATO Side :

Gen. Richtofen is listed as a winner. This is him :
After that, he shamelessly kamikazed east and never came back again. His VP in my AA scenario must be put to the credit of UK and US (mine) forces, as we liberated him. For a player with ten thousands points, i'll say bluntly that his AI played better than him.

I also see SilverRichi (his name appears two times :p), who was Greece in my scenario, and that didn't flee, and prove useful, despite deciding for a good part of the War that Malta was more worthy of all his navy, than the 3 soviet navies in the vicinity.

There is Zolutar, which helped at end of the war in scandinavia.

And there is Charles de Galle, Turkey, who was pierced by a Soviet assault, and reppeled it, with a bit of help.

There is Valhammer, who was the best asset for NATO except US, and that accompanied recklessly every attack, every assault, anticipating allies needs and providing covering fire, especially at sea.

There is also Visar Coli, Spain, that attacked Morocco, and failed, i don't even know how.
There is also Ryanvsmc, Italy, that attacked Tunisia, and failed, i don't even know how

Not a very good nor communicating team overall, Valhammer and Charles de Galle were the only one i would say have played as in a team. Valhammer, while not talkative, has an obvious experience of team play.

We suffered ~100K casualties, overall, with ~35K for US.

Warsaw Pact :

Sadly, there wasn't any dedicated player except for the Chzeck and USSR player (Germanico moved him) : Marshal Zukhov. He played the Warsaw Pact all by himself, while his """"""allies""""" had merely abandoned the ship. His only allies were :

East Germany, played by STEGEO, a 77K points players that shined by his lack of commitment, as he disappeared after the first evening, without a word. He was the most "high ranked" player on the round, and this behavior isn't worthy of a player wearing an alliance tag, nor a skilled one.

Cuba, played by Gangg, a 7k points player that tried to do what he could to defend against my missile and navy onslaught. (Cuba is really a sitting duck at beginning.)

Ukrainian SSR, played by Jason Ham, a beginner that i will forgive for his lack of understanding of the game.


The best player on the round was Marshal Zukhov, whose valiance didn't falter, even after the annoying lack of basic team respect from most of his teammates.


I'm pretty sure other will have more interesting war stories to tell, with more active maps, as mine was shocking of inept players (and NOT beginners) joining games to leave it immediatly.

This said, let's remember everyone else who fought with discipline : they took great fun in the map, but it is tiring.

I really don't know.

At that point, i noted in my personal diaries that "NATO shouldn't put excessive faith into spanish reinforcements, if they ever remember that there is a world war out there"

Superchan, It was a good run, but It seems that russia appears to be falling. It appears that NATO indeed was able to stem the tide of the Russians.

Yes at the beginning of my game Warsaw Pact quickly started winning but then NATO turned the tide..it was still a good game.

Yeah I got a bit worried, after Ukraine just ate Up turkey/greece/Syria. and my carrier fleets kept disappearing. But somehow we held on, pushed back to Berlin, and now beyond. So far it has been really fun.

As one of the unlisted quitters, I'd like to offer my observations.

If memory serves correctly, this was my second match after the initial new player start-up match. Looking back now, I really wish that I had been able to play this event seriously. Unfortunately, this was before I started playing through Steam. There were so many units visible that it was completely unplayable for me. In order to move the map, I had to go to settings and remove the units from view. If I turned unit view back on, the game locked up. Kind of hard to play completely blind. Might be an interesting challenge for some, but I just wasn't up for it.

The other problem I see now was the fact that I was even allowed in the match in the first place. From a player retention standpoint, I understand why a lot of others may have quit. I was in way over my head. For example, the few times I could actually see my units, I noticed a few missile launchers. Having no idea how to use them, I think I ordered the stack they were in to attack and likely suicided them needlessly.

These are not complaints, merely observations. As I said in another post, I'm new to the game and the genre. I don't know if my observations are helpful, but I'll keep offering them in case they are.
