said i think that's a good segue into talking about the different play styles list styles i know we have another list here kind of like we did with the roles before and i think this will help like determine what roles what type of units that you would need in the list so i think we can just start from the top on that one again a to z just a couple here it's not all inclusive but i think it'll give the listeners a better idea of what what play styles are out there
65:15
So the first style is like an alpha or alpha strike army, which is an army with a lot of speed, usually made mostly of like hard hitting cab or flying units, like speed eight or higher, whose whole game plan is to sit back, sit back, sit back, and then maneuver through the game.
65:36
And then eventually in one turn, boom, I hit, you know, 80% of your army's dead now.
65:45
I mean, I think the most prominent Alpha Strike player that I know of is probably Marcelo.
65:50
Or the Green Lady, I believe is what he was playing.
65:54
Now it's Kingdoms of the Men.
65:55
Yeah, Kingdoms of the Men.

What would you guys say is the difference between a combined arms list and a toolbox list? Because I think there's some overlap there.

39:20
What were your thoughts going into the game?
39:21
I thought it was a pretty good mission for me.
39:23
It's not the best mission, I think, for me.
39:26
I think Dominate is probably my best mission in them.
39:29
But, uh, I, I kinda liked it.
39:34
Uh, I knew if I went first, it was gonna be rough for him with the extra turn of Commando shooting.
39:40
Um, but before combat started and before he started shooting me.
41:44
That's true

Uh, I knew if I went first, it was gonna be rough for him with the extra turn of Commandos shooting, um, but before combat started and before he started shooting me.
39:45
But those Pack Hunters hurt, man.
41:44
That's true
75:23
... four- with 28 drops, 42 unit strength, so.
75:25
Yeah.
75:26
Uh, I think out of the top five or top, maybe the top 10 players right now, you have the most unit strength, and I have the second most units.
76:36
It was something like-
76:37
...
76:37
it was Invade.
76:37
And then for, um, the second mission...
76:41
No, no, I'm sorry.
75:23
... four- with 28 drops, 42 unit strength, so.
75:25
Yeah.

11:59
has mad cow disease and meth in it.
12:01
Oh, yeah.
12:01
That's why Andy likes it so much.
12:02
Yeah, it is insanely good.
12:04
So...
12:06
But yeah, he is a great guy.
12:09
Round three, I played...
