I didn't have 25,00 resources. I had 25,000 resources in everything.
Did you notice that Tim started to use a ruyter/field gun attack last night?
I didn't need to get into your town to do damage with mortars.
The purpose of killing settlers is to stop resources, with all my resources to share that was not happening.

The only reason the mortars did as much damage as they did was because I had just sacrificed a good deal of my army to killing your factories and helping Josh on the south. And I think the point we all made was the none of us were low on resources at the end of the game from what I can tell, in fact, most of us had a positive flow of resources coming in... and as long as that is the case, the game was going to continue forever.
Also, this weekend it probably the best time for the rematch. The next week will not work because Tim is at the house and I will be off visiting Chelsea hopefully. The only good alternative I can think of is Tuesday afternoon or evening (the 17th). I know that's the release day but if nothing else works, it will have to do. Hopefully nobody is working then.

Kudos to you and Chris on the game today Jake. It looked like those guys had FAR more games played and XP than you two. What were their skill levels? It'll be a shame when we can no longer hide you, him, Josh, and D as "noobs" when we play online!

I think you guys have school and I have a midterm on Tuesday but would be availible after 4:30-5. I figured it would be a good break from studying this weekend but if it doesn't work then we might be out of options until after the expansion is released.

I did have both tim and jake F-ed over with the skirms, however i need anticalvary for arseneys ruytars, once that had arrived, you guys would have been toast. THere is one unit that could stop 120 royal gaurd skirms... and that is unfortunatly lancers, and cannons...

Actually Arseny had Lancers. Lancers are interesting since they have an attack bonus against infantry which are the units usually used to beat calvary. The only two units that match up are dopp;es and jans which the French and Russians don't have. By combining them with artillary to counter the dobbles and jans, an effective attack is possible. I think what was accomplished this weekend was not anger but newer effective fighting strategies which will help everyone's game. What was not uncovered was B and my attack. Unbelievable. A jan/grenadier rush at 7:30 was unbeatable - this is far worse. Any takers?
Another effective attack B and I have occurs in 2v2 no rush games. I show up with jans, spahis and bombards. That will get anyones attention. The opponents are draw to my army which can be defeated only after great time and effort. Mean while, the orps do their thing. It doen't take long. Chris and Josh used a similar attack to great effect early Monday morning to which everyone was awakened the Chris' announcement. They beat two much higher ranked opponents.

Patrick and Josh, check your messages/facebook/e-mail for a very long list of improvements that I'm certain will allow us to win the rematch
EDIT: And when I say "After a little post-game analysis" I actually mean a fuckload. Sorry for the length.

When i say arseney's ruytars, i do indeed mean arseney's lancers, thats what i was talkin about... they had a one hit KO against skirms... unbelievable... which also lead me to think about another attack, perhaps a lancer and cuirassier attack? what could you counter that with?

Quick question: Whenever I go to defrag my harddrive, I always get a different percent done when the computer freezes on an AVI file... not always the same one. Any ideas?
