I fought TORN and VA.
None of the VA nations had any money saved. I'm not saying they had small warchests, I'm saying that had no money whatsoever. I mean, they were collecting daily in DEFCON5 and nuke anarchy while I was pounding away at them. I had I think a total of one attack from all three. I'd heard that the ones who were actually prepared, though, were pretty good.
And as for TORN...
bigwoody was a disappointment. Didn't even nuke/CM every day - might have only nuked twice. I was expecting more. I can understand laying off the ground and naval attacks (he was 1 v 3 or 4, if I remember) but to have a billion and a half dollar warchest and not to even try landing AAs or CMs or nukes is a complete waste.
That said, as an alliance, I know despite the massive odds stacked against them that they did a ton of damage and are still dishing it out in places. I just expected some of it to be coming my way when I was assigned to hit bigwoody.
And I've heard TOOL really dished out, too.
So to TORN and TOOL, nice.
