yeah that should be enough! [:D]
Won't probably help him much with SD though. You've played this well.

Hehe, yeah you did. Problem with letting him come to me in LA is that he is never going to attack there though. He doesn´t even have half the raw AV. Its x3 terrain and he knows for sure there are forts there. Just not how many. So he is not going to attack. He is just trying (successfully) to block me in.
I´ll attack again next turn. I´ll grind him down eventually as I can recover and cycle troops in and out. He can´t. [:)]

This was my face when I saw the LA attack...
1 to 35 odds. Ouch.
I'm not sure, coulda been dreaming, can't say, might be wrong . . .
. . . but didn't somebody say "Don't attack at LA. Let him come at you behind the forts you so expensively built"? And that person was promptly shouted down by the Maneuver War brigade?
1 to 35. Sheesh. If you'd have had the whole LA stack attack might it have been 1 to 10?
I have no experience with this point so I want to confirm: have the factories at LA and SD that produce aircraft ceased production, or are they still pumping out birds?ORIGINAL: Bullwinkle58

Taking the contrarian position, I'd ask why you're in such a hurry to beat him, eject him, off the WC? If he doesn't attack at LA, great! He sits prime LCUs--that can't really hurt yours--on a foreign shore, eating groceries and getting sniped by air power. Why is that bad for you? They're at LA they're not in the DEI, for example.
Instead, you handed him almost two good divisions for very little return. Do you need the guys at LA to defend SD? You've said you think SD is fine now, so no.
Why attack out of Level 9 forts at LA? It's water under the bridge, but maybe you don't go back upstream at this point.

I think specifically the problem is supply at San Diego - namely that there isn't, in the grand scheme of things, very much of it (iirc 50k on D+2 of the invasion? can't remember what was posted), so being passive elsewhere would tend to lead to that becoming a potential Problem very quickly (or at least more so than it will as things stand).
Which, of course, begs the question - how's that situation now ?
Just want to verify how it works. [8D]ORIGINAL: Lokasenna

I don't see why they wouldn't? The only things that don't are apparently HI, but also Resources/Oil.

To my knowledge I never said SD was fine. I said I *think* its fine but its not something to take chances on. Besides my attacks have been going quite well at LA. Doing at least the same amount of damage I suffered. This obviously is the exception. But not unexpected considering only 2 divisions attacked.
