MAIN EVENT VI! Red Devil vs. [hirr]Leto

[Ratzki]

The problem for RD started in the purchase, I think. He bought a rather equal force with reguards to infantry and armor. That's ok every now and then, but you want to be able to overpower your foe in some manner. I find myself getting into that mindset every now and then, where I want to just get by. Enough tanks to hold off the enemy and look for mistakes, and enough infantry to hold off the enemy and wait for a break. I should really want my enemies to say " Holly cr@p, Ratzki sure has alot of ___??____, now how am I going to deal with this before I get overrun?" If RD would have bought few tanks and more infantry, then Leto would be forced to use some of his tanks to deal with RD Infantry or risk losing the Infantry game entirely. Or RD could have bought an armor heavy force, dealt with Leto's tanks then turned to the combined arms in order to finish the game off. Either way, Leto would have been forced to react how RD wished, this way RD has put the initiative up for grabs and lost the toss. The prpoblem is Leto is too good a player to screw up badly, and the terrain has dictated his advantage, and RD is fighting an uphill battle from the start with no tricks to pull out later. He now does not have enough infantry strength to push through on their own and has had a major setback in the armor war.
