Proposed AAR from future Fionn – Hiram Clash

Simulated Fionn Voice I have just experienced the largest waste of time playing one of you. I started out with a passive-aggressive defense with multiple bases of fire and a chunky MLR. We all know that I could have used 25% of my forces to play this one and could still have achieved a Major Victory. But, owing to honour and tactical flavour, I decided to give it a go with Hiram. He is an annoying git who peppers his emails with polysyllabic euphemisms and repeatedly apologizes. How tiresome he is.

Setup: I used my Supreme Tactical Brilliance to setup my forces to intimidate, penetrate, and repudiate any false claims that Russian Tactics are not the best. I knew that I need not scout because he will probably forget to actually hide his forces. I should be able to dismantle his paltry forces quickly and easily only using a small percentage of my cerebral magnificence.

Turns 1-3: As predicted, I didn’t need to scout out Hiram’s forces. They are in plain sight and bunched together. Somehow, he is making them dance a jig to taunt me. Obviously, a withering display of artillery on my part will stop him from this foolishness.

Turn 4: Hiram’s forces are scattered around the map seeking an exit from the pain and humiliation I have visited upon his unworthy hide.

Turn 5: I have not used 97% of my forces thus far and see no need to use them. It would seem that Hiram’s forces have auto-surrendered.

Summary: I am perplexed regarding how this person could possibly start losing during the setup. But, he has done it. I might play him again and allow him 200% forces to see if he has learned anything yet. I do hope that he isn’t totally brain dead.

Tuum Materorum Servorum Graecorum est.

Anytime betweeen 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. EST or Friday 9:30 a.m.- 3:00 p.m. That should be plenty of time for me to gather my diamonds and sulfur. But perhaps I have said too much...

Wait one cotton pickin' minute there, How'dja do, She Who Must Be Obeyed is the name of MY wife!

But I'm a magnanamous kind of guy. My love for my fellow man out-Saroyans Saroyan.

So I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll allow you to continue referring to the missus in that fashion if you pay me a royalty fee OR embarass dalai lama in your upcoming bout.
