But it makes for great punishment.... for just those reasons!

Syrt: works both ways, if used propperly it lets you order others around but in most cases one screws up and their egotistical commanders jump on them. The egos only work if no one above you has a bigger one.

UGG..... I played this random dude in a campaign ( called himself Countdooku) He was consort and i was empire naturatlly. We were playing gateways.
I had control of Bothawi ( all Imperial starting planets as well as mandalor and Tatoonin which were persiously consort planets) I had him locked up in his starting secotrs. He had a massive fleet wiht about 2 Aggressor destroyers ( that includes the mercilless) and a kelabe battle ship with numberious support craft. I had Like 16 plus VSD's and a dozen tartans split between Axanes and Bothawa ( or however its spelled). Including Piet and thawn on Bowathia ( which was mistake)

He atacked Axane naturally in the middle of the battle he says and i quote "You have me beat, Ill go find a skirmish battle somewhere".

It was unbelivable. I hate him. I wanted to DESTROY HIS FLEET!! I didnt want him to surrender

..Sure i had him locked in his starting sector without anyway to absorb the rebel AI. Sure I had smugglers on the majority of the planets he owned gaining me about a 1500 credit bonus BUT STILL he couldve killed the smugglers and fought back more!! It was the most challaging campaign i had in a long while AND HE DENIED ME A CHALLAGE!!!!

"sniffles" It was one of the biggest dissapointments in my Military carrer though it does remind me of a better campagin.

It was what i called my Maw campaign. The enemy rebel commander was superb in ground battles and I was slightly beter in space combat to him to a slight degree ( enough to defeat him in key battles).

Incredible bloody battles were waged at the wookie homeworld and eventually he won it using heros the wookies in combination to retreats and heals at bacta stations.

I conquered the Maw for some time and had the nessarrity space station to build a DS2 ( had conquerd shoal to gain access to the MAW. With a decent armada stationed there the enemy commander launched a huge armanda against the troops at maw his forces arrived 2 seconds before the DS2 would be operational.

An incredibly intense battle waged the Victor deciding the fate of the near completed DS2 and the fate of the galaxies inhabitants ( was gonna blow up planets to avoid ground battles which he exceled at).

In the end I was victoirious my Armada almost completely destroyed but Victorious still because my station was still operational ( it was heavily damaged at the end) and the DS2 was up and runing. The enemy commander soon surrendered and the game was done It was more sasifying than my last campagin but I still wished i couldve attacked those remaining rebel worlds I at least destroyed the wookie homeworld for their insolance.

Anyone want to finish a campaign with me ? I just want to finish one MP one at least one in all the time i played EAW.

Yes... some people are just lame like that. "Oh noes, I'm losing... let's quit!"

Remember that when motivation goes down for going on to loose
also the worth of available time can rise higher.

To be fair , when I know I've lost and I say have one planet left, there isn't that much pointing in waiting ages for your enemy to attack.

COL Longstreet · Post by **COL Longstreet** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 9:40 pm

You donÂ´t need to be triven back to only one planet to know that, unless your enemy wents to sleep infront of the computer, youÂ´ve lost.

True but theres always ways to stave off defeat. Either prolonging the envitable or actually slowly weakening the enemy to the point to where its a possibliy to win. Suchs tactics are hard to see and sometimes hard to exacute but are still there.

Anyway anyone want to play a campaign with me. Say Burton do you have time avaible sometime? ( since your opion of quitting is such i dont have to worry about it supposly)

I just got wooped by a rebel commander. It was on Equal footing ( his game) tech 1 6000 credits start. He gatheres every single one of his ships in a huge armada picks off my planets one by one. Rushes the hell out of me first 2 seconds of the game Sullust and Kassykk are down Eridia soon follows.

My question is Should i be mad at myself for not consolidating my fleet assets on key worlds or should i be mad at that prick for basiclaly gathering up a huge assed army and fleet out of starting garrisions, rushing me with them and calling me a noob while raping me with them?
but like how the hell was i suppose to know he'd do that? Thus i continued as normal and he just beating the fricken "beep" out of me.

( oh like i said theres always ways to stave off defeat I was chasing his fleet with a huge one of my own but the Fricken damage was done man it wouldve taken all fricken day to beat him after he ruining my infatracture like that)

I wouldn't be mad at all. I'd probably decide I would act faster to be able to respond to rushers. Not saying that I'm any good at EaW

, just saying what I'd try to do

His tatic is what's known as Blitzkrieg (probably spelt that wrong). It is a very sound tatic and is one of the few ways to beat a potentionally larger force. You should always prep for it and in retrospect you can also use the strategy. It is basically the stratagy used in WWII to bring from Poleland to France to its knees within a few months.

Whenever he hits, he moves on towards his next destination already planned. So in essence, if that occurs, you have to guess his next attack and then try to stop him there as fast as possible.

Rushes are easy to stop, you just need to threaten a more important asset of his. Once you take away the initative, he'll be responding to you and you can win.

LaFO, this is not real life. In EaW things run a bit more differently :p

In RL the best antidote against a Blitzkrieg is to attack the supply lines. Do that and it will force them into a Sitzkrieg :p

Marcus Darkstar · Post by **Marcus Darkstar** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 4:59 am

Supply lines?? what in devil u talking about ? ( Ie theres mines, planets and thats about i know about income in EAW). You mean destroy his mining planets
