This thread is still going on? What did I miss? I stopped reading around post 100.
Also Billy, how the F have u played so many games? I started playing 6 months and have only 200 games. You started playing 3 months and have 400 games. I have no idea how you do it man, maybe you really are the best player.

Depends how much intel they have on each other and the card situation, but if it was no fog cards were tied timi should win easy. Timi has a far higher income and another bonus on the way. Sze has larger stacks and long thin bonuses away from timi. So Sze has to make something happen asap, this should be decided by risky tactical play. A few tactics include, will sze take CA? timi should be using a blockade here . timi doesnt need to hold both (or even either) scand and SA but he does need to stop sze securing CA. timi should use as few armies to take N africa as possible and bring the rest to retake SA after he sacrifices it to sze. timi has no good reason to defend scand and should get into india. head on collisions of stacks is great news for timi.
So who won?

timinator won, but he had a big advantage so he should have won. but if this is a common scenario where if sze plays well and timi makes a mistake or two, sze can win. and since most people play terrible, as this thread clearly proves, knowing how to play perfectly as sze here is an important skill.

both of them answered the priority question with 'central america' - if i were timi that would be my priority and i think sze should see that this is going to be his priority, so putting a bunch of armies there and trying to take it is futile. i think if i were him i would have gone through moscow which is not likely to be protected, and maybe start expanding into australia.
i don't know that that is correct, but i think thats what i would have done. and maybe tried to take either panama or cuba, but not both.
