and to the pros, was my move to take rekjavik there really that bad? thought it was brilliant

thx in advance

Generally in escalating most go after 1's instead of stacks for cheap cards.
I wouldn't think red / blue not attacking each other has any significance.

hmmm red was attacking a big stack of me right after blue said he will give it to red and red reduced my troops to 3 or 4 to let blue get the spoils which he wouldnt have got otherwise.......thats how i saw it
and i know ofc thats usual to go for the 1 troopers, but in this case yellow turned white and i was doomed in london so i took those 3 to get a way better position.......and wasnt blue going against 8 or 9 before? sry that stinks a bit

blue getting mad because you took a 3 troops and calling that a stack is stupid from him.
Taking a 3 isn't taking a stack and he had no reason to get angry.

Maybe red played bad when he reduced you, it's difficult to say, we'd need to see exact position and troops on the map when red did that.
Maybe he was trying to take you out and that was a reasonable move but he failed. This often happen.

nope clearly not, a shame white seems not want to post...... it was pretty clear that they teamed up on me after i took rekjavik (berlin, madrid, stockholm just turned white and i would have wasted my troops in london)! i mean, when its usus to take only the 1 troopers, why red attacked a bigger stack of me right after? and in the end it wasnt bad play, he had no chance to eliminate me, he clearly prepared me for blue!
anyways, not that big thing, just thought it was cocky and surly not very fair nor within the rules prolly.......first they dont attack each other (ok, can happen), then they put me off the board in 3 rounds........atleast i can rate them down

I took a look.

allright, just thought someone could check what happened excactly, sry for beeing a noob......lol
anyways, since now half of the players i play regulary with foed me for that report and my premium expires soon, i will enjoy the 4 free games in future......(hope that is what ppl expecting here lol)

I wouldn't be so disheartened. Large escalating games are played in a particular way because it's optimal. Taking bonuses or large stacks is sub-optimal. The way to win, in the vast majority of cases, is to cash your set, make a kill, cash another set or two, make another kill and so forth. Taking bonuses limits your access around the map as you'll likely be stuck in one area. You want stacks in different locations so you can target a kill more easily. Hitting other stacks is detrimental because it costs you troops to use for making the winning run later in the game, and also makes the other player(s) weaker for other people to capitalise on.

lol and that let turn ppl on you when u take a 3 trooper in 4th or 5th round for a better position, pathetic bastards, and now they teaming up on me in the left games....... and thx for the tips and advises here instead of calling it what it is.......just never mess with the mighty....lol

I haven't looked at the game to be honest, but that seems a bit stupid.
