Sure would, but an attack/transfer would not have been better for mian than an attack only.

Defense by HHH on the other hand could have. If HHH had the intention to defend Scan rather then attack Russia, he could have attacked with 17 Norway to Finland last move. In that scenario the attack only would have backfired. It's only one out of many scenarios, but so is the one that occured. That's why Im saying that this was more of predicton/luck case then a briliant move case. Fizzer gave a much better example as to where the attack only was cruicial, here many diffrent orders would have worked just as well or possibly even better.

moves can always backfire, depending on the choices made. But it's a good example for those who don't know how and when to use it. For the plan Mian had, it was a good move. (whether the plan was good or not is not the point here)

tirminator vs dead piggy

Why didn't anyone go for a nice combo? there were two good ones i'd have picked.
1) South Africa + West Africa (Quite safe combo, and if your opponent decides to go South America and Antarctica or the wastelandless North America, i'd crush them out quickly.
2) East China + West China (After capturing the bonus, i'd quickly go to the russian regions if i knew my opponent was there, or keep expanding in the wastelandless Indo/Australia/India regions.

Sorry, i'm a noob :P

Did you post the wrong game 69!? South Africa not only has a wasteland, but doesn't have a starting location anywhere (wasteland overrode it).

Also, West China is a bad choice in just about any game you will play. It's large and therefore takes a while to finish, but more importantly it's nearly impossible to defend from just about any angle.

Someone in Central Russia will destroy someone in West China, and it cost more for the West China person to finish their bonus.
