Pour chef :

Je m'attends à un raz de marée, surtout que je lui ai donné des tuyaux pour débloquer des unités rapidement (voir début de partie).
Il avance quand prudemment, le KB couvre ses débarquements sans tenter de lancer des raids plus au sud.
Je pense qu'il va être redoutable comme adversaire

[sval06]

Ça va aussi le ralentir

[BESSAGNET]

Le ralentir, je l'espère.
Je vous envoie le prochain tour. Jamais vu une première attaque sur Singapour aussi sanglante.
