Odd, the strat was supplied by the time you landed?  Maybe just in my opinion?

Yep... that is pretty standard for a long buff run as resupply works miracles, we've come to accept it.  M3s were already sitting outside of the factory waiting when we got there.  If they enjoyed themselves, I'm fine with that as we had a blast. 

Factory was 100% when we arrived, 13% when we left, 100% when we landed.

It's pathetic, really. On so many levels.

Lol thank you.

Seems to me that the counter-strategy worked.  Yay gaming.

Oh, it absolutely works.  It is just kind of sad that the game is configured in such a way that when a strat is being attacked, Plan A is not to defend it but rather to resupply it because that is more effective.  Why prevent damage when you can repair it faster?  The most effective thing for people to do in defense is resupply, not defend the target.

I used to joke about the game having a Radar Operator position where you sit and stare at the radar screen and vector people to enemy contacts, and now by the sound of it that's about to become a reality.

I wonder if they're moving toward my idea to make this like minecraft where you need to mine the materials for your plane and build it before you can fly it.  Or maybe have "cook" and "mechanic" positions.  Click the pot to boil meat to feed the ground crew, or they die of starvation and you have no rearm or new planes from that base.  Right click on the nut to turn clockwise.

Hooray for menial repetitive tasks in gaming.

The following guiding principles have served me well:
If my goal is to bomb stuff, then I bomb stuff.
If my goal is to bomb stuff and draw a fight in the air, then I bomb an air field along a front.
If my goal is to bomb stuff strategically and not have it resupped, then I (or one of my homies) will take out supply ability in the area first.

Is it a counter strategy though? It certainly is not countering an enemy force with another force (combat).

It really is a negation strategy. It merely undid the damage done.


Thankfully, there were at least some players who took to the sky to actually counter Alpo's bomber mission with their own fighters. Kudos to them and kudos to Alpo for embarking on the mission.

It's gaming theory.  Because, like, this is a game.  The "resupply" row or column in the matrix is dominating the "bomb the stuffing out of this place" row or column.  Hinder the dominance of the "resupply" row or column with proper strategy, and you can eliminate its entire row or column from the matrix so that it does not dominate.

Yup.. and once upon a time it wasnt an option.  Numbers and fights going strong all day long. 

Today.. fights.  Sometimes.. numbers, not so much.

Strats are laid out by the player terrain builder. There are no rules against placing GV spawns to strats. There is guidance on where to put strats, nothing fixed in concrete. If you guys don't like how the current round of MA terrains have been configured by their creators, build terrains that in your superior opinions are better.

Im not entirely happy with some of the things going on here in the good ole USA either.. should i prepare a run for president before i share my opinion?

Let yourself out of the basement for a few hours.. lol.

Your opinions "assume" wanting Hitech to impose something on terrain builders instead of saying you wish Hitech would "impose what you want on terrain builders". Who elected you president of AH?

Nevermind, not worth the time it takes to type the proper response.
