Are Silo Nukes Even Needed to Win?

[Ace Rimmer]

...and the answer is nope...

Not the first game I've played without using my silos and still being able to win, but this happened just before the tournament game (in which I placed forth), so I thought I'd share it with you...

[ynbniar]

We have a long standing duel outstanding Mr Ace...

...it can now be Battle of the 4th Placers?



Silos?
Are they those things that get blown up a few seconds after DefCon1?

[Ace Rimmer]

now? I'm on

[ynbniar]

Alas, I am in my work cubicle earning money to buy Introversion games.

No DefCon allowed here I'm afraid.

[Ace Rimmer]

no problem, just took out JESUS instead...

[JESUS]

but jesus did top the tourny group , in which mr rimmer took 4th.

Did you and Feud break alliance at any stage in the game?

[Ace Rimmer]

Nope.

Ace, I think you made a mistake in your statement.

You didnt need silos NUKES to win, not silos themselves. I am sure your AA fire took out many of those incoming gifts your enemies wanted to present you... Esp. when you had lost just under 25% of pop total...

Good show nonetheless. I did exactly the same on few occasion on my own, but in every case my AA fire was VERY importand...

PS. In few occasions I really forgot to place some stuff, BSes mainly (I know, I should call em BB..), not silos thou. And I wont even try, no matter what rookies will be my enemies

Well, I thought that was obvious but nonetheless, fixed.

Hmm, I think I'll try a game with no silos (not telling the other guy), and see how well I can do without them...

I usually rarely use my silos, bombers and subs are honestly enough to get the job done if you do it right.

[PUNK]

I'd like to add that Feud and Ace played quite well. My teammate...well, he lived up to his name of stupidjonny.

An example: "Hey man, there's a huge sub launch in the pacific against you. You should use your carriers or something" - Didn't lift a finger.

The name is both funny and informative, a perfect combination! For being all by his lonesome, I was surprised how ell Russia was doing. I would have thought Europe and Asia would have ganked him.

I usually rarely use my silos

Just had to point that out

I tend to refrain from launching my silos in a 6 player game, unless I don't have any other nukes.
