@@seamusinmusic honestly, you spoiled us with a half hour long video. I watched it over coffee this morning and will have to do more re-watches to take it all in
I've been pondering this last part about deceiving their range for a few days now and I want to make sure I understand the reasoning for why it works. If we take a strong position against their weak hitter when they're in range to hit, our action is compelled, and they can work safely indes because nothing we do can both save us and hurt them during their action. But if our range is what's keeping us safe we still take their sword so we can proceed with fuhlen, but not as a parry? Does that mean it's not AS strong as we could be, somewhere in between fully strong on the sword and strong on the man?
This is a fantastic question, and it encourages me that the series is worth making. If we deceive the range and they enter with a hitter, they begin with a weak action as they enter the krieg. We are able to get strong on that action before it resolves. If they chase indes, we can continue pulling distance because we are far enough away that we won't be over run. Likewise, if the enter with a taker, we can pull distance safely and strengthen indes, the same way we would regardless of their zufechten actions. The moral of the story is, if you would be weak, be weak far enough away so you can get strong when it counts. On the flip side, if you would fence from the nach, compel weak actions just out of range, rather than strong ones meant to take.
