Orkhepaj... What Pontus is trying, and woefully failing to do because, yes, I agree with you, he is incredibly arrogant, but mostly because he's unable to remove himself from his shoes and think/word things in a different way that you might better understand. Because he understands it, he assumes you should as well.
In chess, YES you have a preset and predefined amount of units, similar to Go. HOWEVER, that simply add's an additional dimention to it that many overlook. You and your opponent have EXACTLY the same units, which makes your army inflexible beyond they're own abilities, and means that your success is based upon one thing: How you think.
If you think attacking blindly, straight forward with pawns en masse, will get you a win, you will lose. That is the Call of War equivilent of spamming light tanks or even infantry. Just make more and send them. Doesn't work. In order to win, you have to maneouver, think about WHERE you place your troops, why you placed them there, what their purpose is, what their goal is, what direction will they go in next, how do you position your troops to better your chances of success, how do you counter a move your opponent made that you did not expect, anticipate, or think of. To succeed at Chess, and to succeed at Go, just like in Call of War, you have to try and anticipate your opponent. Use anti tank weapons to defend against a tank rush, causing them to funnel into a kill zone you create that's patrolled by masses of bombers, which are then surrounded by fighters to ensure that they aren't intercepted. Perhaps have them supported by artillery to try and pound out any AA guns in those armies to keep your air force alive to be able to do it's job, and then, once the main force of the enemy is weakened or defeated, you counter with your faster moving troops, taking your tanks, even your beautifully fast armoured cars and speed through their now weakened front, capturing what you can, and moving your defensive positions forward in case of them being able to halt your progress and perform a counter attack of their own.
Go and Chess reduce these things down the simplest methods. Call of War is simply a much more complicated version. THAT is why Chess is actually a brilliant analogy for CoW situations. You don't sit a biship straight infront of a rook for example, unless you have that bishop covered by a pawn or a knight, or even a rook of your own, potentially sacrificing the bishop inorder to defeat their rook. You see? Thought. Thinking. Analyzing, estimating, anticipating, predicting, out thinking your opponent, by using what you have available, or what you could potentially have available (swapping a pawn out for a rook or bishop for example, or producing a fresh fighter squadron, or maybe a column of tanks) in order to meet your goals (winning).
Does that explain it?
