Somehow the edit of the infantry to Persia wasn’t done by either of us.

OK, I give up, thank you for rolling tech again and making it decisive -

Good work! Super fun. Fight hard against @Ragnell804 for me

@gamerman01

Accepted. I NEED to talk to you over discord at some point.

I feel very strongly you have revolutionized the way classic is played or can be played and may not know it or why or how.

I must pick your brain…I must. Instant fan over here. It’s “can I have your autograph” euphoria over here. I don’t think you understand.

[gamerman01]

Yay, I was hoping for something like that but you’re even more interested than I hoped -

I do have some idea, but I sense there are some things I did that I didn’t even know were as nasty as they were?

Let me know how you want to do it,
I’m really happy because I was just a teenager playing against myself on the living room floor when the buildup to Desert Storm was happening
I think some of the things I learned in AA50 and G40 may have translated, and being a newcomer back to Classic looking at the rules freshly (and the right rules), maybe gave me an interesting angle.

@The_Good_Captain I have kept an eye on you guys’ game and would love to hear the thoughts you have or that will come up in your (potential) discord chat!

[gamerman01]

That was a rough J10, G11 for me

[gamerman01]

My preferred is zoom or microsoft teams,
Discord is maybe just as easy as those, but I’m just not familiar yet, lmk

I’m available tonight.
Really feel great to hear that from you

Though it might be more fun to go over this live on the call, in the interest of preserving posterity and to sharpen the discussion…

You made a horrifyingly effective Pacific strategy for the USA. I have to reshoot my classic videos to address this and how you fought in the Pacific. I’ve never been compelled to reshoot a video series but I absolutely have to now. I was delightfully appalled to be a victim of it and will be copying most if not all of that strategy going forward. I’ve seen plenty in the Pacific. I know about Wake but I’ve never seen anyone execute it with such deliberate, controlled moves. For example, the more common Pac strat until now was to build a strong fleet and float around with one or two guys to capture islands. The flaw in that is the japanese just need to kill the infantry with their air power and its basically over.

You combined a push on Wake with what i call “still birth” and pushed and choked japan so hard in the beginning i could barely keep in the game even with overall positive dice favoring me. And you did this WITHOUT building IC. omg!

This is turn forced me to realize that tech favors the pacific (jets and super subs) and to compute what each breakthrough would mean in the pacific every turn until I had to throw for tech or lose. So by transitive property you made me learn a bunch of stuff about tech and its employment I would otherwise never have uncovered.

I have played this game CONSTANTLY for six years and all that is a first. You schooled me. Only luck and dogged experience and LUCK again saved me. I raise my glass to you. I’ve never been so humbled in a game of Classic or Axis and Allies in general.
