I really liked the Rorschach style of the commentary. It was a nice change of pace from other warstories, and yet you still conveyed all your key strategic thoughts. It was a cool creative choice, GE. For those that don't get the reference to Watchmen -- well, they'll likely be put off a bit. But, I wouldn't worry too much about that.

I wish it would have involved Syclant a bit more, but your commentary covered some of your thoughts on Syclant, which may help other players who are new to using Syclant.

It was a nice close battle, which are always fun to read. I know lots of battles can hinge on matchups, and obviously Mence with DD & Roost was a big problem for you. I think Rey had the better matchup, which enabled him to come back from some bad early-game stumbles. Both of you made some nice moves, though.

You kept commenting on the lack of need for SR -- but the rocks played a significant role in that loss for you. In fact, the whole match felt like "Rocks + Salamence = Win for Rey". I could be wrong.

Thanks for posting this. I like seeing warstories in CAP -- particularly warstories that are well-formatted and thoughtfully written. You obviously spent some time putting this together, and it shows. Nice job, Gen.
