What does Com mean in German?
Edit: They probably mean Computer. Haha, that's brutal.
I assumed WorstPlayingCom(petitor), but WorstPlayingCiv would have been plenty insulting. Anyway...
 Tactically speaking, I don't think they should have attacked yet if they didn't have enough troops in place this turn to uproot the invaders. Gather all forces into one mega stack and then move in. Did WPC attack across the river? If so that's terrible, again. I'm not great at this game but if I was them I would have waited until our big stack was adjacent to the city and whack everything with two big stacks at once, guaranteeing success. With the German supermedic in the city will WPC's attack and losses this turn amount to no gain when we (and they) attack next turn?

OK that makes more sense then. Tactically speaking, they should have killed MOAR UNITS. But I retract the superfluous use of the word terrible from this one post. All other uses so far in this thread remain legitimate.

If that's the case, they should stop wasting our time with whiny diplomacy. They haven't mentioned their own losses, have they? They're going to allow the Germans to pile on more promotions and heal up attacking piecemeal like this. Idiots. They killed 5 units and probably lost twice as many of their own. The 1.3/6 combat 3 LB probably won a few combats on the counterattack, as well as the CG3 LB.
Well, do we know if this picture is from before or after WPC's attack? I can't imagine WPC killed anything at all if this is from after combat, as that CG3 LB would be top defender on basically anything WPC has to attack with. As soon as we can crack Timur and Chandragupta Maurya (GG elephants), the rest of the B stack will collapse witout incident. We have to wait until next turn to kill them, right? So they'll all be in the city it seems. Germany, you deserved better than for these guys to ruin your game. Great job with the spite capture and awesome rename job!
Maybe Computer?
And asking about liberating Huron does not mean i want to actually do it...

OK, this works out really well for us. All of the German catapults are inside the city itself, which means that they can't hit our stack when we move forward a tile into the desert. There are also tons of redlined units, which will not have a chance to heal before we kill them all next turn. (They moved this turn, which means no healing despite the GG Medic 3 unit.) We'll come in on cleanup duty and wipe out everything next turn.
scooter, I think we should thank WPC for the picture and let them know that we'll help them recapture their city next turn. I would drop all this talk of liberation; it's not worth the trouble. Tell them we'll kill all but one unit and let them retake the city. Just make sure they have a unit in place to do that (I wouldn't put anything past this team...) |
