Challenge MKDH #10: Flaked River Battle

[littleryry2005]

I agree with how Waylon Flies Again is really poorly designed. Only one viable access point to the center for you, and it's a bit roundabout at that, while Waylon gets 3 moderately useful entries, his much stronger beginning economy, and it's really easy to stalemate. Despite that, I managed an S in 23 days with Arty, Tank, and AA spam.

But good job on this map.

@littleryry2005 Waylon Flies Again wouldn't be so bad if you could get units across the Mountains. Preferably with a Transport Plane or some such. The Great Owl, however, is FAR worse, to the point where ANYTHING would fix it.

At 1:30 or so, the computer opens the chance to take the HQ freely. There wouldn't be enough time for the computer to attack you. Unless infantry can't cross rivers onto simple terrain?

Really nice map though.

I was unconditionally not allowed in the challenge to place any units on the Blue Moon HQ. For good reason too: cheap HQ captures, especially in a few Days, are stupid.

[CelicetheGreat]

Eh. I don't find them stupid, because I rarely have the chance to take an HQ--by the time I'm in range I already have most maps decimated. As such, whenever I do have the opening, I take it.

I'm referring to the ones that are one in only a few Days. The worst offender by far is Plasma Bubble with a 450 in Days of Ruin.

Nice one, Im guessing the mistakes was when the artillery put your tank to 2 hp left.

[MasterKnightDH]

That wasn't any of the 6 mistakes at all. I hammered one of the Artillery so that there would be one less indirect to put up with at the bridge, which set up the scenario in the first place.
