Heavy Junk

Heavy Junk resigns from the ladder. I concede current games with the following players: Iron Ranger-Axis Terif-Axis -bid 200 Carl V M...- Axis Everyone I've met has been patient and nice to a realitivly new player and I appreciate it. However I dont have the time or desire to defend myself from accusations flung around about not finishing games. If you get into a fight with a skunk, you'll end up smelling like one. Somebody has to have the control over this stuff and "moderate" someone or something that is inflamitory(sp) and suspect. Regards to All Heavy Junk

Liam (Axis) beats Heavy Junk- no bid

Liam I e-mailed you after reading your reply in the opponent finder about our old game, I had no idea you had posted this ridiculous and insulting thread. I wont go into details about who was responsible for the delay in the game, lets just say , you have a short and selective memory. I will post the game as a win for you because I have no desire to continue. BTW , I have an e-mail link,as I'm sure most SC players do,your above post was'nt neccesary and I'm sure was'nt appreciated.

Played CMBO in ladders and clubs for two years Canuck, great game! But time to move on, SC is becoming an addiction but HOI was a major disapointment, save your money.

Forgive me if this idea has already been covered but.. It seems to me most players have developed a series of moves and stratagies, at the begining of the game, that is based on what is known of the opponents forces and locations. It occured to me that by introducing a random factor, it might make things a little less predictable. Example: The Germans get 4 subs in the Atlantic and the British get an extra Army and HQ in Egypt at the start. or the Germans start with level 3 tanks while the Brits have level 2 jets. The combinations are endless and can vary greatly.The Italians, Russians and Americans jump in with surprises also. The point is your never really sure what and where your opponent has (within historical reason)and it adds another aspect to the game.

ArmenianBoy (Axis) wins over Heavy Junk-bid was 175. Good game...I got educated!

Gazza (allies) wins over Heavy Junk. Dont remember the bid-100?

Heavy Junk (Allies) lost to Twiddle, the bid was 100.

Thank you Liam, I appreciate the advice and need all I can get. Also thanks to Iron Ranger for sharing some of his insights during a Ladder game we had recently. HJ

Heavy Junk(Allies) lost to Iron Ranger, bid was 100. Very enjoyable and knowledgable opponent, thanks for the game and tips Iron Ranger.

Thanks for the explanation Batavian, Sounds like what I figured it would be. Italy is sitting there, exposed, before the fall of France...I dont think I would use this tactic though, seems to go agianst the spirit of the game. Regards HJ

Thanks for all the good advice, it will hopefully improve my game. HJ

I am fairly new to SC, and thouroghly enjoy it! I have scanned some previous posts and am taking the good advice (Terif) on British and American use of reasearch points- Brits-jet aircraft and long range..Americans-antitank and hvy tank research. Any thoughts on Axis priorities in research? I also saw referance to the Italian Gambit but havent seen anything that spells out what that strategy is. I also got the impression it was considered a gamey ploy. Any advice or thoughts would be apreciated. HJ [ February 23, 2003, 11:26 AM: Message edited by: Heavy Junk ]
