Subject: Re: EURE Spiele _hier_ :)
First "one on one" game between Nager and me (Pagra). Well I lost. But it was a very fun game.
And first game with research centers.
I could fight off Nager's early bomber attacks quite well and thought he would concentrate on air force (like many times before as I read in this thread). From time to time Nager sent some planes and offered them to me (or I should say to my air defence) as a present. So no threat from this side. What I didn't know is, that he built some nasty submarines that then surprisingly and effectively hindered my further expansion for additional mines on the sea.
My plan was to make heavy armored tanks (around a dozen) and waltz through his base (which was at the opposite site of the map). This worked well at first. I had a good laugh when his bombers tried to fire on my tanks and did only about 2 damage Cool But then I descovered his Gunboats that were equally well armored and controlling the inner sea. They rushed after my tanks and eventually got them directly before one of his mining complexes. As my tanks were significantly slowed down by a large upgraded mine belt, I only saw his first mining station when all tanks were one by one shot down by the heavy Gunboats. Then the Gunboats came to my base...
My meanwhile accomplished air superiority didn't help because I could not apply my fat bomber upgrades (that could have made a difference with the gun boats) to my fleet due to a missing hangar... Bad luck. So he shot down my base and was the winner...
