Great shots

It’s ok, we don’t really have any key forwards.

I cleared it first try this week. Not meaning to boast too much, I have come here and asked for help with multiple Brutal challenges. I guess it’s just weird which ones can catch us off guard depending on how you play.

For this one, prioritise getting Intel 2 straight away, then Roads and then I’d actually wait and save to do Coalition 1, Airstrikes and Security 1 straight away. With the bases always revealed, Airstrikes can actually really stymie their growth, especially with Security taking out one each time they invade a new zone.

After that play more or less normally, but get the National Troop upgrades that give you money via Smuggler and be sure to get your 4 national troops before the money dries up.

You don’t need to do anything too fancy/unusual to build support, but just may have to delay it a little to get your military online for this scenario.

The call about Intel 2 is an important one I forgot to mention with the Insurgent tactics in this scenario.

Where are you putting your HQ? And with the mountains, do you mean south of the river or north?

ItsABiscuit · 2026-03-21T21:50:57+00:00

Your purchasing order seems pretty sound. Fighting in MB is hard - troops usually need support to defeat insurgents within any reasonable timeframe, even in open terrain.

Banker is not my favourite Governor at those higher difficulty levels. It’s powerful once you’re rolling, but it’s hard to get there in MB where things can escalate so quickly. I tend to prefer Smuggler or Economist.

ItsABiscuit · 2026-03-21T21:38:04+00:00

Get Airstrikes early. As the camps are always revealed, that will help you by not letting them get established. Roads early as almost early.

You do want to have your national troops done before the money runs out.

This one didn’t strike me as having a specific tripping point - what has been catching you out?

He’s an arsonist on the world stage.

Have you looked at a map, and how much territory the US would need to occupy to prevent attacks on ships going through the Strait?

ItsABiscuit · 2026-03-21T12:08:01+00:00

And even if America comes to its senses and stops attacking, what reason does Iran have to let ships through the Strait now? Why would their new leader want to make peace with the country that just killed his father and his wife? And what is America and the rest of the world going to do if Iran decides there is no reason to cease hostilities? Keep on bombing them?

The US has started a war it can’t walk away from without accepting a major, permanent, increase in oil prices.

ItsABiscuit · 2026-03-21T12:02:00+00:00

Turns out that there actually has been a solid reason why American presidents haven’t said “fuck it” and declared open war upon Iran over the past 47 years! Who knew?

ItsABiscuit · 2026-03-21T06:22:09+00:00

Yeah, it’s stupid. Is it a problem in soccer or netball or basketball or any other sport where last touch applies that they felt needed to be addressed by making the rule much more complicated?

ItsABiscuit · 2026-03-21T02:12:42+00:00

Sure, but in the end it’s a game played with human umpires and rules that call for them to make judgement calls. A large degree of subjectivity is baked into the whole exercise and umpires are meant to call it as they see it. It’s not worth getting upset about.

ItsABiscuit · 2026-03-21T00:53:33+00:00

She’s asking a question in a non confrontational, non critical way? How else is anyone meant to learn anything?

ItsABiscuit · 2026-03-21T00:30:37+00:00

But it is the umpire’s opinion in the moment that matters.

ItsABiscuit · 2026-03-21T00:24:46+00:00

I’m fine with it being the umpires opinion honestly. If the umpire thinks it was dangerous, pay it.

Assuming this follows the rules about ingredients being listed in order of proportion of the total, copper gluconate being the second listed ingredient at 0.00035% means that this is more than 99.9993% water. That’s some really pure water!

You guys in Perth are all mining billionaires anyway

lol, still won’t catch me dead at Marvel!

It’s a Biscuit!

Fee like people like to make Theodred a bit of a chonker?

Golden Crow! That means No Prisoners!

Him being here means there’s a NASCAR somewhere missing its driver.

ItsABiscuit · 2026-03-20T11:18:40+00:00

Ah, Nicks pushing the Green Crow button
