If he IS in fact playing against Swift, then that's hardly a "beginner".
he is playing with/against me - you may call it social work [;)][:'(]
I think Marky has and had his funny moments, he just had to learn to keep it down a bit.
From what I have seen in his older games and an AAR on another forum he is a quite good Allied player
I may be a moderate/good Allied player nowadays, but I am really bad as Japanese ( never ever really played a Solo game as Japs, I am part of a 2vs3 game as Japs )
Swift was a beginner when I played him....now he's initiated[;)]
ohhh,
don´t remind me....aaaarghhh....it is at least 3 PCs back....I lost lots of Data when there was a power surge during a thunderstorm that fried my computer
wanna know about stevieboy....??
when he was young and studied something totally useless
and he wanted to become a Bobby
and with his girlfriend troubles....lets say déjà vu ( not as bad as this time, but still....)
Ok, which scenario is this?.
Cant be stock, A to A is not bloody enough?
Is your opponent a beginner?, think so because he is sending VERY small TF's to engage your strong ones.
it is indeed stock guadalcanal
I play too much Allied.....with the Allied ships you can do this quite good...you can sometimes even call it "bug" - try to use single carriers or a single battle ship without screening units - works just fine.
This is probably because of the Allied radar.
Now I will only use bigger forces - at least as soon as I have some in place
