Excellent! It is good to see our socialist comrades express heart felt solidarity and revolutionary zeal in the face of the warmongering imperialist Americans! For Lloyd! For the Motherland! Huuuurah! Huuuuurah! Huuuuuurah!

DISPATCH FROM 6TH GUARDS TANK DIVISION – 1st SOVIET GUARDS TANK ARMY . . . 02:30 HOURS – 15AUG85 . . . It has been hard fighting throughout the day, and too many of our valiant comrades have “gone to grass.” But we are dealing the imperialist dogs hard blows, and making them pay for every step they take in the the beloved motherland of our loyal Lloydoslavian allies! i.e. . . I’ve won some games and lost some games. I tend to lose the smaller games. At least for me, the bigger the game, the better luck the Soviet… Read more »

I really like just how different the armies are. They’re not just two clones smashing at one and other, they play very differently. I like that.

Totally different. The Americans I think have to play very conservatively. Their guns shoot further, are more accurate, shoot faster, etc. But of course they are always outnumbered. So far the games I have lost, the Americans sit back and force me to come to them, whittling my numbers as I approach. The Soviets, conversely, have to get into “choking range” as fast as possible. Also, we’ve learned that the American Cobras don’t fire TOWs on the move. This is a huge equalizer against their dreaded “hunter killer” rule, which mostly relies on tucking behind buildings anyway.
