Any suggestions?

Post by M60A3TTS »

I picked up a new 41-45 campaign from the server and got this opening move from the Axis player. No pockets, not even in the center of Western Front.

Should I resign now, this being an obvious mismatch? Practice my new and improved defense plan? Or just deal death and destruction?

Um. "Concede" the game to your opponent. Unless you enjoy taking candy from babies and strangling kittens.

Better concede and find someone more in your league..

The server needs some way of communicating with an opponent, this sort of thing happens quite often when you start a random game.I would try sending them a PM through the slitherine website and if that doesn't work I'd resign.

After looking things over, I could cut off all his advance formations and maybe taken out a third of the panzerwaffe in week 2. That just wouldn't be fair- so game over. Oh well, onto another one.

My 1st game as german (fortunately vs AI) was even worse than this. After 3 turns, Minsk was looking like a stretch target for the summer.........
