A link to my latest Fanball.com article, and a quick summary.

Here is my latest article, discussing the general theory of unorthodox strategies. There are a few key points:

1. When attempting to do an unorthodox strategy, you should always consider how it can be countered by your more astute opponents. Expert leagues and Tout Wars are rife with failed strategies.

2. Generally, the principles behind the unorthodox strategy are often useful, but following some rigid rules that illuminate the principle(s) is where they fail.

3. Taking these principles and utilizing them as part of an integrated strategy is the best course. Compare LIMA and RIMA for example.
