Most of the discussion here is development-related, so I thought I'd ask everyone a couple of questions about regular gameplay. 1) What are some of your preferred strategies (for the standard module)? My general strategy is all-out offense, which usually succeeds against the AI. If I have more than a couple of any unit in my home territory, the extras will get sent to attack. As for more specific tactics, I use airdropped infantry to build at least one base per unoccupied island so that I can send planes across the globe without having to complete a carrier. If I come across a one or two-hex island consisting of swamp, and there is absolutely no other land nearby, I might build a base there and deliver supplies via destroyers or troop transports. 2) Do you play any semi-regular net games? I don't know anyone else who plays xconq, and my attempts to get a few friends hooked on it proved futile. From what I read on the list, the network code is pretty stable now. Are there any regular internet players out there? -Tom
