Well, for the longest time, I couldn't break 16K.  That was about the point on level 2 where the infantry swarms your castles if you don't know what your doing.  

Then, a realization hit me... and maybe it's obvious to everyone and I'm just stupid.  Even though all the ships shoot at you, only the lighter colored, double masted ships can actually land infantry on the shores.  So, if you concentrate your fire on just those ships and keep them away from the shores, then they can't land any infantry which makes it about 100 times easier to build your castles back up in between rounds.  Even if you can just limit the infantry they deploy, it makes things much easier.

The first game i realized this, I got to level 3.  I haven't had a ton of time to play since then, but even on my high score game, I didn't feel like I was running up against a wall.  I feel like I could probably score into the 30,000s with a little more practice.  

I think I know what game I want to pick next (it's something circa 1982), but I want to think it over the rest of today.  I'll get the thread up tonight after dinner.  

Out of curiosity... Ummon.  You seem to complain in ever single one of these compititions.  What game would you suggest?
