Riun T,
You aren't even playing the way FlashFyre said.
Here is what FlashFyre said.
"A true Challenge Campaign, against the AI, without involving other players, would require the use of the following settings:
AI Advantage - ON
AI Level - 200
Reduced Squads - ON
Reduced Ammo - ON
Weapon Breakdowns - ON
Vehicle Breakdowns - ON
Mines - ON
Command & Control - ON
Use the Hardx2 setting for all battles
Select one of the 6 major nations for your HQ, but then only buy allied equipment (if British, only buy Indian, for example)
Set Spotting to 70% for Player 1, 100% for Player 2
Use Historic Ratings as designed "
So, when you bought all U.S. Army stuff, you weren't following what FlashFyre said. FlashFyre said to pick one of the 6 major nations and then only buy Allied equipment for that nation. You didn't do that.

Here is my initial Core.
FlashFyre format specifies choosing one of the 6 Long Campaign nations, and then using allied equipment to build the core.
Well, I chose the Soviets (one of the 6 nations), but the Soviets don't have any allied nations, so I'm stuck with the Soviets...
6 batteries 203mm howitzers
6 platoons engineers
6 sections BT-7 tanks
6 sections T-28 tanks
6 platoons OT-130 tanks
1 section ammo trucks
1 section mule packs (to fill out 3,000 points)
Note that Historical Ratings are ON (even though I hate them)
Just so you can't edit or delete this, and claim you never posted it.
So... you decided to show up Riun... to show yourself the "better man"... by doing exactly what you found him doing as cheating or ignoring the conventions of the campaign rules set out by Flashfyre... you effectively build a extremely limited core with no versatility at all... reload until you get the extremely poor visibility required for the core's strategy of "Fireflash, Fireflash, Meteor Shower" (you ignored my last post asking for the vis)... do the exact same thing as Riun and refuse, this time on a basically fraudulent basis (refusing to follow the rules of the campaign, whether to "prove a point", or as your original reasoning was, that there were no "allied nations" to draw forces from, counts against you... So you reload to gain a visibility advantage; utilize a strict force designed to take advantage of that advantage unfairly gained, ignore the same convention that you yourself bashed another for doing; then change your reasoning for doing so after you're called out...
I don't think a PBEM is required for me to do anything anymore. You've proven you do not hold to anything, so long as you're able to win. I now seriously doubt you even follow your own "extreme Long Campaign Challenge" rules, just as you've refused to follow those set out by Flashfyre; and I'd imagine that a PBEM would have you insisting on such a ridiculously low visibility, so you could re-use your strategy of "Fireflash, Fireflash, Meteor Shower"; thus proving how "good" you are. Take advantage of the same visibility with a force not specifically designed for that advantage. Then we'll talk. Once more, I've said all I have too. Actually, you've said it better than me, with your own posts. You'll delete or reword them eventually, I already know.
