Actually it was Yesterday the 26 of January 2012 that I became a Sargeant from corporal for the second time since I joined CC. But in the immortal words of Rocky Balboa, "I ain't going down no moa."

Today I am a Sergeant First Class with a high score of 1425 points upon winning Game 10504135 gaining 115 points in Total. The game number is the link to that Game should anyone care to read the game log and the photo below is obviously before the fireworks began with the Exception that Green had previously been eliminated already in round 07.

This is also another fine example of BM's losing to correct play according to the SoC handbook, "The F4M" (First Four Moves). Notice that this game did not go past 09 Rounds and that in fact my trading two sets of spoils at once, to gain 75 troops, to kill Yellows' 35 troops was just plain mean and abusive. :D

Superb, everyone!

Viceroy, nice shot. It looks like some of the players there were really savaging the competition in their quest for bonuses. It's beautiful when you can hold your ground and run the table on them. Very nice!

Now that I understand that there is a correct way of playing that gives one better chances of winning by being in the right place at the right time, it seems easier to win.

The BM's do not play correctly and do make it easier for everyone else. You are correct when you said, "It looks like some of the players there were really savaging the competition in their quest for bonuses." Not only that but the area that needs to be conquered is smaller and the BM's can be left for last.

If you notice, I left both BM's for last. First I got the bigger of the two which was perfectly feaseanable at the time in order to comeplete the task because of the way that I was set up in position and then I went for the smaller of the two, Yellow, for last.
