I love it!  I just get done with another move, and when I’m done I have one waiting!  Great!

[gamerman01]

Aw, dang, except it’s R2 and the Russians can’t attack yet  :lol:

[gamerman01]

Nice combat move!  You are not long for tier 4, I agree.

Bummer the tank got you again, but that was a scrappy non-move in 106 that almost succeeded!

There you go.
This is where my struggle usually beginns.
1.) What to do in situations like this  :?
2.) Why are such moves not working when I’m about to play them  :-)

Don’t get me wrong. I am not complaining just wondering.

My congratulation on your nice move!

[gamerman01]

Thank you, my man, that is class

Most players would not have attacked Kwe - they would have secured the NO.
You just have to watch out for UK unprovoked attack especially if you don’t attack J2.  However, my USA is out of the action until round 4 UNLESS you choose to attack the USA on J3.  So I haven’t paid the full price yet.

[gamerman01]

Also, that was about a 57%? battle that I chose, so it could look a lot different right now.
But I understand how much more valuable the yellow men are, than the purple men.  You were looking to overwhelm India, and it was a nice setup.  Very nice.

[gamerman01]

@Gamerman01:

Most players would not have attacked Kwe - they would have secured the NO.

…

So I haven’t paid the full price yet.

You know, I also didn’t collect the +7 I would have collected for just being a good boy and attacking only Yunnan (and Sui).  So it’s not quite as bad as it looks right now.  But it’s bad - because I got lucky.  Maybe you will get lucky back on J3

[gamerman01]

Ouch, kiss goodbye to UK NO’s for a very long time…
