Spot on; it certainly looks that way. Thanks.

someone finally understands me.

I think most of the disagreement comes down to the difference between strategy and tactics, and how one defines both words. In response to Uncle Rico's challenge, well, I'm not entirely sure what it is. Is it to win one hundred successive games? You ask if I can beat ...

I respectively disagree with there being any different strategy whether playing Australia or Malta. There may be minor differences in tactics, but it doesn't take too much effort to analyze the best probable course of action in a specific situation. The continents have different names, but the game ...

well, you have pretty much played the same types of games, and what, 17 total? you haven't even scratched the surface of the types of games or the maps and their different bonus formats. sooo, this thread is more than premature in my opinion. hell, you have only played 4 or 5 maps!!! you haven't ...

It may have been a decent thought, but now that you've seen red's move, plans must change.

It's always good to allow one round to pass so that you know the intentions of all the loose cannons and non-factor players at the table. In this case, red has committed to Oceania, and it isn't worth your ...

this thread is silly.

I understand that some of the maps are more complicated, but I still recognize similar limitations in all of them. I'm getting bored quickly, but I think that perhaps speed free-for-all games might provide the ...

this thread is silly.

AIM/MSN would be helpful. I have both.

for 2v2v2v2 games, or perhaps even 2v2 (although, after my 1v1 game, i realized that strategy becomes dull with only two opposing forces). i'd prefer someone with a schedule that allows for relative activity, too.

I don't know how else to go about this, especially since I'm not premium.

Where's Floripa (Florianopolis)? That's the most beautiful city in Brazil and the capital of Santa Catarina! You must include it!

I've been eliminated in another game, but it must not count the loss until it finishes... and many losses are currently underway. Thanks for the help.

My score is 1447, but I'm only a private 1st class. Does the number of games affect rank, as well?
