there was an extremely beautiful game between R3D and Laika. You'll find recordings here: http://sfcon.demoszenen.de/dcrec/2012-1 ... _19.30.zip
Seems like both agreed to random territories. R3D is Asia and Laika is SA. All Asian silos are around Japan, Laika has a Tobi silo in Brazil (red arrow) and 5 in Mexico. Most of both fleets are stacked in the pacific. Only R3D's subs are west of Australia on their way to the atlantic. Let's see if this is a good idea!
After little naval battle, we have a sea-nuke competition. The yellow circle shows Laika's bombers aiming at the red fleet. At the same time his fleet is stepping forward to increase the pressure on R3D.
However, no single nuke of Laika found its target (yellow circle), while R3D (arrow) deletes battleboats from the screen in the north.
Then, while R3D's fleet is retreating to the atlantic, he is emulating a ghost fleet in sorthern pacific by sending two bombers on a suicide mission. On this image, both bombers already ran out of fuel, the nukes don't hit. However, this event triggers Laika to send more ships to southern pacific in search of the ghost fleet. As consequence, Laika has now many ships close to Cape Horn available to step over to the atlantic...
...where the battle has begun. R3D verifies the presences of the brazilian silo before his small group gets destroyed. Laika seems unsure about the amount of enemies and sends further ships and bombers from an airbase to the atlantic.
Laika is pushing forward in direction of Africa destroying the last red carrier here and then turns north. He said, he was expecting R3D to come down via the arctic to the atlantic! R3D's subs remain undetected, his main fleet is only little further east.
Finally, R3D merges his fleet with his subs and sneakes up the African coast (yellow arrow). Laika at the same time scouts towards north (red arrow). His bombers patrol up to the red dashed line never reaching the missile range of R3D's battleboats. This was thrilling to watch. But finally, when R3D's fleet reached the coast of Cameroon it was detected. Unluckily, his fleet was stacked so tight, that two nukes were enough to make so heavy damage that R3D surrenders. (And exactly here my Dedcon replay server shutdown, so no pics of the final battle, sry.)
R3D than finally commits suicide, this means the score has not to be taken too serious. It was Laika 184 vs. R3D -93.
Nevertheless, in general brilliant gameplay. But I do not think R3D had a chance here. After deciding to move his whole fleet sneaky to the atlantic he had lost in my opinion. Laika did a decent job, moving only very slowly forwards and taking his time. Even if R3D's fleet would not have been detected, he would have raped Brazil searching for silos there... This time it is a victory for Laika due to better psychological warfare!
