Which Sun Do Tzu Orbit?

[seabolt]

What? You plan your actions before game? Man, you're good!

Well, I certainly know what has and has not worked in the past before the game. We each have an existing "style" that we modify to pregame variables (roughly in order of importance: knowledge of opponent's style, map, OOBs in play, special home rules, turn length, visibility). I enter the fight with a "game plan" based on those things, as I'm sure do most players. Usually, one contestant will have to change his plans on the fly during the game, based on his opponent's success at implementing his plan. My first and third rules largely are designed to maximize the odds that my opponent is the one changing his plans to adjust to my success, and they largely define the strategy that hopefully will keep my tactics from being just noise.
