That was Jim to the core. A gentleman, a sportsman, an artist and always willing to help the less experienced players. His passing was a loss to the hobby and the Canadian ASL scene that is still felt by many to this day.Plus whenever I use it I’m reminded of the great Jim McLeod. Jim was amongst the finest of players and first time we played was ‘Eye of the Tiger’ in ‘95 at Windycity Open and he hit my tiger tank (sitting hull down in the best hex) with a crit only to have a twelve and shatter on impact for the result. I won by great fortune and he took it without batting an eye, great sport.
Yes, his gameplay was only surpassed by his sportsmanship, and of course the ASOP , lol.That was Jim to the core.

Laminated and on my desk as well thanks to View From The Trenches.Jim and his Essential ASOP. I still use it to this day (when needed).
Exactly correct, what's the point in cheating when all is at stake is your honor? While I always played to win it was more important to be a good sportsman and to overcome the challenges presented by utilizing the rules and tactics to the best of my ability.Same for me, Jim.
I don't see the point of cheating.
Unfortunately, I play too often wrong and when it is in my advantage (e.g. forgetting a DRM) I always hope that my opponent doesn't suppose that I was cheating.
Happily, the errors which disadvantage me are about as numerous...
And when tactics fail me (as they usually do in my case), I rely upon pure dumb luck (@#%! Luck).Exactly correct, what's the point in cheating when all is at stake is your honor?

My last recourse too... when I don't semi consciously make it a major one.And when tactics fail me (as they usually do in my case), I rely upon pure dumb luck (@#%! Luck).
