Martin - I get what you're saying.
I'm saying I regret that we had to hit them atall. We shouldnt have had to work together because they were. It should have been a FFA in the first place.
My whole round start play for my alliance, personally, was to minimise spending on units of moderate power and delay until we get more powerful units. Thats something that would have worked had we had a fair FFA, which I was hoping would be the case given the uproar last round.
I hit with you guys as a very last resort - And tbh it was a bad call on my behalf to help - given we're euro heavy and most of our guys hit bed a couple hours after LT. But I did so, because I expected inc in the early hours of the morning from both Enmity and S2N anyway.

Real shame it had to come to last night, and that alliances have proved once again they can't take rank 1 by themselves - they need help....
I was confident my alliance could do just that, but it wasnt to be.
As for the "nails in our own coffin" thing - we hit S2N with you guys, got 24 retals from Emnity within about 20 minutes (further proof, IMO, they were preparing to hit us soon after regardless of whether we went first) - I challenge you to maintain your outgoing when you've that many incs, and few LETs to defend them because you weren't expecting a FFA was out of the question as soon as JJ/Twigley decided to work together.
I know I sound like I'm moaning. I am moaning. I wanted a fair FFA. And being forced into working with RRR, because JJ/Twigley had already taken the first move, was unfair, and a bit of a dissapointment tbh
