Alright, sounds like we should steer away from RT then, if we really want to play under "normal conditions". WWIII is fine with me. I'm ready to get started, and we all seem to be online now, so let's move this discussion and start talking about some parameters.

And that is the pinnacle of high strategy.Buckeyechamp wrote:
it didnt dawn on me for first 2 weeks how weeks it would be to end the game. so was "slow in my 25 days getting marines and ships in plavce... heck it ended up taking me like 3 days to sail to that last artic site. and that guy certainly didnt expect some fool from central america would sail that far to finish the game. He had no ground troops but had strike fighters and airfields in like the 4 prov surrounding the Victory site and all i had was like 3 marines (and marines really suck in artic as speed and attack like 50 pct) and a few CM from sea to hit any land troops ... so I put 3 spies in each prov and destroyed all his airfields and his planes where grounded and he was defensless... he just always assumed someone would attack through land and not via sea (as no ports of entry)
probably trickiest move ever pulled off.

im game ... hard part is how fast countries fill up on map. we almost need devs to pause us a map to say 6 of us get in then open up random.
To me I think would be fun:
- say get 5 - 6 of us as world map captains (now we still need to conquere and recruit or teams / regions).
- all in separate Coalitions.
- Ideally in separate continents to let some time to see build; troop ; coalition stratgies work out. so our early game is free of immerdiate me and you happen to be next to each other and we have to force battle.
- WW3 map makes most sense 9could do ither 4 or 1x ) im faily active so 4x actually helps me espesially in air and sea. but could do either.
- No telling the World what we are up to as we need to work the social / political game as normal. Till we get our coalitions and regions in shape (and when it gets down to a coalition battle).
those are my suggestions"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him "
aka ...The killer formerly known as BuckeyeChamp -
Solid, let’s call that plan the “World Challenge.” Then we have the traditional alliance game, the “Coalition Challenge,” to see how everyone’s strategies work together in coordination. That ought to be quite interesting in the tall vs wide debate and other strategic dilemmas.

I've created a thread so we can stop clogging this poor player's thread. Please head to that thread.

Day 8 Journal.
Game not loading.
The end.
Hahahahha
The game just won't load, so when I figure out what the problem is I'll att you

That happens for me very briefly sometimes. It usually only lasts a few (like maximum 10-ish) minutes for me. Hang in there.

Looking good overall so far, just keep mobilizing, maintaining a strong presence on the front, and exploiting enemy weakness. I recommend bringing some artillery into Latakia, as you are doing, with a strong defensive force to begin a preparatory bombardment to weaken enemy resistance prior to the assault. This also has the added advantage of potentially forcing either an enemy withdrawal or assault under adverse conditions, causing them to continuously expose themselves to highly effective artillery fires during their advance and engage while still under fire, enabling you to break the stalemate and advance on Beirut to liberate it. Once you have secured Beirut with an infantry force, you can bring your artillery up into or just behind the city and prepare to continue the advance, repeating the bombard-attack-advance pattern of leapfrog movement with the artillery support. Executing this strategy into Israel if you can attach additional forces capable of neutralizing their artillery will provide you with a significant advantage in the application of indirect fires, enabling you much more freedom of action in your maneuver and clearing the way for your conquest of Israel.

I already destroyed their artillery, so right now it's free damage.

4 Infantry units units and 1 recon unit have been killed with 0 losses. He seems to be trying to retaliate with an attack, but that city has a lvl 2 bunker and they are under fire from both the artillery and my airforce (mostly heli)
I'm not in a hurry to occupy Beirut, my first goal is to inflict as many casualties as I possibly can. -
Excellent. Since Beirut is a a key city, you should take it relatively soon. Don’t sacrifice units for it. If you know you can take it without losses, do so. Otherwise, don’t. The main reason to occupy it isn’t the high level bunker. If you need the bunker and the returns from securing its use in the region outweigh the costs of capturing it, that is when you should attack. Otherwise, attach them to the land and make them bleed for keeping it. This was the strategy applied by T.E. Lawrence with his Arab irregular comrades against the Turks. Let them keep the land and make them pay you for it.

This is WWIII, right? Beirut isn't a Homeland city of Syria in WWIII. It starts out belonging to AI-controlled Lebanon.

Well, I must say we are doing ok for now.

Even tough working with 3 fronts, we are managing to hold our ground
