thanks for the update lacky

Hmm, lacky is pronounced the same way as lackey. Here's what Thesaurus says about synonyms to lackey: flunkey, crawler, sycophant, toady, apple polisher, ass-kisser, bootlicker, fawner, groveler, truckler.

Now why would you wanna go and call mr. lackattack all ...

But voodoo won't cut it, mate. As I said in my previous post, hidden in between my megalomaniac ranting, all you need is nitrous oxide. It won't improve your dice, but it will make losing more enjoyable. Put your faith in western medicine, son. :D

I was recently a few points below captain when - karma hitting me and my team mate like a sledge hammer - I suddenly woke up in a dilapidated CC back alley with only 2 stripes on my arm. From there on our dice were just appaling - there seemed to be no end to the atrocities we had to suffer in ...

Thanks, tahitiwahini!

Your reasoning is sound, I actually think I will change my defensive strategies in such scenarios accordingly.

P.S.
Did you see that dugcarr1 called you tinniwinni in gamechat 323797? If I should happen to call you that in a future post, please don't take offence. I find ...

Re: is it better to..

So the best thing for the defender is to put 2 in each country, the next best thing is to put 1 in front and 3 in the rear, and the worst thing is for the defender to put 3 up front and 1 in the rear.


I get that 2 by 2 deployment is the better. But why is it better to deploy 1 in North AFrica ...

Whoa, no need to miss Dug quite yet. He's still here. He's still got three games left before he goes.

If you'd like to say goodbye, wish him well, whatever, you can still speak with Dug in the game chat of any of his three remaining games:

Re: how do you get the amazing records?

how do players get insane records of 73-0, 36-1, or anything 10+ wins and 0 losses? Are they all team games with a decent partner? I can't ever imagine someone going without losses in a free for all. Eventually in ONE of those other players will kill you off.

A little consolation for the battle weary CC trooper

Feelin' depressed? Those dice really not doing their thing these days? Are you a recruit being hammered by veterans, or a high ranking officer on the steep slope of demotion?

I guess that depends on which country's military rank you refer to. In the Norwegian army, whose insignia are the ones I am familiar with, the "^" points downwards as in CC.

If I understand you correctly, the question is related to when you start a game, i.e. the very first move when there are 3 troops on all lands.

I think I would have added 3 troops to a single land, preferably on a continent with no dominant player, and ended my turn there. If you attack, chances ...
