Sorry Tony, the history of this forum has proven otherwise.Originally posted by Tony_S:Forget the old guard, here comes the new!!!
The new guys come and go, some even become part of the "old guard" after a time. But none the less the "old guard" is here to stay and will remain the backbone of this forum.

I know that, but you had everyone on the list (including the ones who are still active), so I figured the list wouldn't be complete without Edwin P.Originally posted by Kuniworth:CT>>> Edwin P aint missing in action

You forgot the one and only: Edwin P.

Just to warn you, you may be an experienced player against the AI. But against a human opponent, your a newbie (not meant as an insult).
Your first few games against a average opponent will end in quick defeats for you as you experience moves the AI never does, not to worry though, its all part of the learning process.
ICQ instant messenger is the best way to find SC opponents for TCP/IP games these days. Check out the ICQ Numbers Thread to get everyone's ICQ number and e-mail address.
I guess you could also try Battlefront's Opponent Finder Forum: English Speaking Players. Up until about a year ago, that was the primary way of getting a game of SC. But most of us have moved to ICQ since then.
For PBEM games, check out Curry's SC PBEM League.
Hope this helps.

Do a search, this has been discussed many times.
I can tell you this though, an experienced opponent will usually be prepared to counter the turn 2 LC Gambit, unlike the AI.

Well written Avatar.

I agree.In my opinion, a better case can be made for German tactical superiority vis-a-vis the Allies in WW ONE than in the sequel. But that is perhaps a topic better addressed when someone gets a quality WWI Mod up and running. -
I think this statement still stands. Like I said before, you have posted nothing but your baseless opinions, which without supporting facts or sources, means nothing.lol , funny, not once in this entire 2 page thread have you posted any facts or sources supporting your argument, all I see is your baseless opinions. -
Is that your answer?The 1940 French ? Give me a break; they couldn't be more than a speed bump to anyone in the chaotic state they were in, the entire war for that matter.lol, that’s a nice opinion and all, but do you have any actual facts to support that statement?
The British Expeditionary Force consisted of about 394,165 men (source) by May 1940, I think they were a little more than just a bump, wouldn't you say?BEF ? Hardly even a bump, due to their size.
And they did all that within a year, so yeah, I'd say its impressive.Yeah, the Germans did great....in Poland, Low Countries, Norway, France, Balkans......wow, impressive
lolBut hey, I couldn't care less if you agree or not, but nice tryI know the truth must be frustrating(or why the anger ?); thats what happens when bubbles burst.
, funny, not once in this entire 2 page thread have you posted any facts or sources supporting your argument, all I see is your baseless opinions.Better luck next time.

Granted, but I'm sure their tactics did play a pretty big part in their victory over the Allies.The original German plan was to slash through Belgium ala the Schlieffen plan. Instead of hitting the French at the gap between the strong mobile forces and the Maginot line, they would have been hitting the aforementioned strong mobile forces.There would be no 'blitzkrieg'.

SoDak
Will you please be so kind to enlighten us on why the Allies lost the Battle of France in 1940? Since according to you, it didn't have anything to do with the German Army's superior tactics in the area of armored warfare combined with close air support never before seen in the history of warfare.
So please, enlighten us.

Been on vacation for the past few days and just got back today, glad to see this little problem was solved.
Judging by the guy's profile, I doubt we will be seeing him again under this screen name again.Profile for thbMember Status: Junior Member

He only made 3 posts, all of which were made on the day he registered and all were made in the "Opponent Finder Forum: English Speaking Players".
If we see this guy again, he will probably be under a different screen name. Luckily, we have the little bastard's e-mail address so its all good.
Like Rambo said, this one is pretty cut and dry, we got proof and we got his e-mail address, can't do much better than that.

He lied when he said he "disbanded all the useless units", that pretty much killed any chances of him saying "it was an accident" convincingly.

Yes, please do.Originally posted by Kuniworth:Aztecace;
Reveil the name of the player please.
And was this a SC PBEM league game?

Personally, I sometimes put a chit towards jets if the campaign against France is going extremely well, which is rare. And once or twice I got lucky and got Jets +1.Do you ever invest in Tech before France falls?That in itself seems very strange to me. But perhaps some players may do that. I could actually see putting one chit in Jets as Germany although I wouldnt do it nor think it would be wise at that point in the game. That I would not see at least as suspicious. But to place tech in tanks is just not wise at that stage of the game and to get such tech would be so super lucky.
But Tanks +2 and Jets +1, plus 3 airfleets and a tank unit, all by May 1940? Yeah right.... If he is cheating, he isn't even good at that.
Terif, maybe you should get Aztecace to send you the pbem file so you can check it out for yourself.
-
The Netherlands are included in the Low Countries, did you mean to put something else there?Germany has taken Poland, Netherlands, and the LC.Regardless, level 2 tanks and level 1 jets by May 12, 1940? You have every reason to be suspicious. Has he disbanded any units that you can tell of?
I'll let someone else who is a little more experienced with this type of thing comment, but like I said, you have every reason to be suspicious.

In that situation, the AI being too easy to beat has nothing to do with it.
It would all be a matter of MPPs, you would not only loose Italy, but you could in no way attack UK's territories in the Med (their main source of MPPs). Also, it would be nearly impossible to take out Vichy France. You would also have nothing that you could stand up to the Royal Navy with.
Meanwhile, you would have barely enough MPPs to match UK with, let alone the USSR.
Like I said, its a matter of MPPs. Making it impossible to attack the enemy's MPP resources is not a good solution for the weak AI.
Besides, why waste the time when you can play real people with real strategies?

They will start to run out of supply when its your turn to attack back.Will they be out of supply right away or not when its my turn to attack back?In amphibious landings, if you haven't captured a harbor (or at least a city) by the end of your turn, you will be affected on your opponents turn.

Opps, sorry Jersey, thanks.
