[TEAM THREAD] Fenn & Bob are Advanced Warriors

[Bobchillingworth]

I'm trying to think what Ipecac could have used that wasn't a Fighter... drawing a blank. If he invested that much cash into sending one across the map at me then that's a lot of money not being spent securing their center island.

[Bobchillingworth]

Shoot, they managed to kill the Mech. Hmm. I guess Ipecac's unit was a B-Copter? He would have had to have sent it over really early though. Or Brick had a second one incoming, not certain he could have afforded one though.


Not a great situation either way, I think the best way I can help at this point is to constantly pressure Brick with raids so you can secure a funding advantage over Ipecac.


Edit: They also killed the T-Copter, so three units were involved. I'm guessing a fighter from Ipecac and two B-Copters from Brick.

[Fenn]

Looks like they were both dead-set on protecting the base from the start. Still, if we can confine the fighting to their side of the map we'll have the tempo advantage. Going to try and go after Ipecac's island.

Huh, Ipecac also had a B-Copter going after my lone base. I was able to bring it to 2HP with my own B-Copter, and I do have another on the way, but my Mech will take two more turns to capture the base at best. Ipecac's also spent on a Recon plus whatever he had going after you, so hopefully he doesn't have too many units in range to disrupt my capture. Soon I'll have a wave of Infantry at the lone base, and with that I can just capture with an Infantry surrounded by other Infantry.

I'm also saving up to build a Stealth next turn. It'll be just what I need to give Ipecac a little surprise...

[Bobchillingworth]

No need for you to ding your B-Copter killing Ipecac's, I'll pop it with my Fighter.

[Fenn]

Damn Ipecac has a lot of copters running around. And a cruiser too! It remains to be seen if he can kill my Infantry faster than I can capture + merge and kill his own B-Copters.

[Bobchillingworth]

Yeah, the situation right now def. isn't ideal. They're putting on a lot of pressure, and unfortunately my CO isn't built for these sorts of straight-up fights. On the plus side, you should be able to effectively counter Ipecac with your own air unit spam. IIRC even Eagle's B-Copters can kill Cruisers cost-effectively (provided you get in the first strike).


I can't possibly compete with Brick in the air, so I'm unfortunately probably going to have to focus on navy; at least my Battleships don't have any penalties, if I can manage to get one out. Actually, a Carrier might be better, I believe they're actually decent as ranged AA platforms. Very expensive though. I can send a steady stream of T-Copters / mechs your way if you want, try to support any landings you can manage.

[Fenn]

Yeah, Cruisers aren't a big concern for me.

Hold off on the T-Copters and Mechs for now, I think it's important we get a foothold in the air battle before we start sending landing parties.

[Bobchillingworth]

Ugh, wanted to build a Battleship this turn, but I didn't realize that I had an AA selected, so when I tried to click on the port I ended up blocking my own production facility. Settled on a brace of Missiles instead.

[Bobchillingworth]

Looking at the board, I'm in favor of us conceding at this point.

[Fenn]

Yeah, there's not much hope for us. I'm ready to concede if you are.

Once our initial gambit failed, and I was unable to secure my lone base in time, that was probably it for us.
