Though, that said, from my small amount of experience with the system, I gotta say – it can’t beat the real deal.

But Vassal does have its advantages, and I like being able to reach out and crush someone from across the globe. That’s a definite plus.

Can’t wait to face your King.

I enjoy playing against other confident players (reason for playing the Theorist) because I know I’m getting their best game. When you are playing someone who has shaky hands when they pick up a mini, it’s hard to tell if they are at their best. Of course confidence under pressure is part of being a master, isn’t it?

The nice thing about vassal is that you can relax a bit more and play several times with the same opponent. At the end of the day, everyone gets better because of it. I’m looking forward to the matchup.

I’ve been reading your strategies for a while now, though, and I can’t help but think you sound a little too sure of yourself.

I’d love to put your game plan to the test.

Would you be up for scheduling a game on Vassal sometime? I want to see how my Macros stacks up against your Kondo.

So, what do ya say? Can we schedule a day and time in the coming weeks, mayhaps?

EPP’s help a lot since Rak’s hit & run allows you to gain 6 pD without injury.

The Stealth Apes are a much nicer addition to his army as well.

Ultra Rak is nicer now that you can fill the board with healing spires that he’s immune to but…

Yeah, he’s still not up to A-level play. He’s a monster that you can almost never have a missed roll with.

Nate, my first round was so bad I’m in no real position to ask. But I have to, have you had a lot of success with Rakadon? He’s the only Radical monster I haven’t played because I just don’t see him (it?) getting the job done. What am I missing?
