Considering Russ's recent record in WITP, who on earth would be willing to pay him for his plans?

Hi, It's my post May 1942 play that is bad. My SRA Operations are pretty good.
Turn 1 takes 36 to 48 hours to enter. Once it is done a Japanese player can do the next 100 or so turns standing on his head.
Invent your own brillant operation for May 1942 and later you've gotten that far in good shape using my plan.

I'll bet I could finish pretty high in the standings in a "Capture the SRA" contest where no turn 1 teleports were allowed.

(I seem to do pretty well when given over whelming material to work with. Now I'm beating the snot out of the AI in the 1945 scenario beta testing 1.80)

Nomad's post in the AE forum led me here. I read the entire thread. Just a few of those old timers still around AE, these 13 years later.

I was hanging around the WitP forum in '05, when this thread was made, but I was too timid to post. I felt like a rookie walking into the clubhouse of the World Series champs on the first day of spring training.
