Share your shortest victories.

Let's talk about games we won in very short periods of time.

What was your shortest game (that you actually won), or at least, survived in?

I don’t consider retirement to be a victory. You waste days playing the game to get to that point and lose out on the potential for any kind of real challenge in the mid to late game.

I have like 10 wins where I get first place, crush most real resistance, and everyone but my coalition goes inactive. Then I win. Strange…

Why would you retire when, you have a (mostly) free map to fight inactives and improve your stats ?(

Because it is very boring to fight inactives.

When the enemy is driven back, we have failed. When he is cut off, encircled and dispersed, we have succeeded.

This, and a high K:D ratio against AI doesn't impress anyone.

It's a sign of minimal competence, sure, but to scare players you need a high PvP ratio.

i would like to know what PvP k/d scares you as players, or at least causes you concern, mine is 2.5+

It depends. Even 10:1 isn't all that scary if it's an obvious grinder who only joins America:Homefront. If somebody mostly joins Antarctica and Doomsday matches and has 1/3 wins or more, any ratio above 2:1 would be scary

Cheesing some clash of nations can get you a solo win by day 4 by retirement. I got the required 600 by day 10 or smth if I rember.

Road to war is even easier, can get a solo within the week.

WaW coalition win, the fastest one I got was day 14/15 approx, I was Japan and got an UBERSTRONK PROFESSIONAL ally West yakutia who steamrolled till Europe and I attacked America by the end.

Some other games won near 3 weeks in waw ig.

I am not that active anymore.

Now I am opting for a coalition game in a pac map. We are 1000 VPs day 8 tho.

I did that map taking one day longer but with two fewer coalition partners. Day 11 Korea and S Manchukou. No gold or cards.
