Diplomacy Board Game: TURKEY Strategy Guide Part 1 - The CRIMEAN CRUSHER with Matt Sundstrom

[@sunwookim5046]

I've been waiting for this as I'm in a match as turkey rn. Sothx:)

[@LegendaryTactics]

Perfect timing then! We're releasing a Lepanto / how to counter the Lepanto video in the next few days. That might help as well.

Played against Matt many times in the past. Nice to see him explaining how he crushes w/Turkey (and frankly all his games).

[@LegendaryTactics]

After hearing him explain it, the opening makes perfect sense. I always thought of it as anti-Russian rather than pro-Turkish. I think that distinction is important.

[@bcpravel]

Great choice on your expert. Matt is deadly when playing Turkey. I was glad he mentioned “where is your 18th dot” because while Matt is known for being a great tactician, it’s his strategic read of the board and how he plays the Turkish midgame that makes him so effective. I love his advice about waiting to take the Balkan dots after you have expanded elsewhere.

[@LegendaryTactics]

Matt crushed it for sure. I really like that advice about getting your 18th before your 15th dot. My only worry would be over extending your forces and having a wedge in between them. That would take some finesse to pull off.

[@mattsundstrom3348]

@@LegendaryTactics 18 before 15 is always good advice. The stalemate lines are too easy. 15 may be too late. I like 14.

[@LegendaryTactics]

@@mattsundstrom3348 True. Once someone hits 13, all eyes are on them.

[@snoovian7951]

won my first game ever as turkey :) (well an ally victory where I was hard carried by Austria and Italy, but considering my inital goal was to not be the first out I'm happy)

[@kirksellman1999]

Nice title. Thanks for doing this video.

[@LegendaryTactics]

No problem. It's fun to make these.

[@mattsundstrom3348]

Thanks for recognizing the title.

[@БатькаМахно-я7с]

Thanks to you and Matt! I like to play Turkey I may say, guided by the same logic - it's almost impossible to knock me off the board, so I can talk with all my neighbours confidently )

[@LegendaryTactics]

Thanks for watching. If you have any other ideas to add, we'd love to hear your thoughts.

[@LegendaryTactics]

Now I need to get started on my final 7 Nation Video - RUSSIA!!!

[@bf2229]

Great video. I just soloed in my first Italy game. Your how to win as Italy video was a good inspiration. Btw. are there plans to continue your no surrender Russia campaign? If not can you at least tell who won that match?

[@LegendaryTactics]

Congratulations! I'm glad it was helpful to you. I don't have a continuation planned. Which video are you referring to? I can let you know how that went - I'm just not entirely sure which game you're thinking of.

[@bf2229]

@@LegendaryTactics I mean the " no retreat: the Russian front /Best game ever/ walkthrough/ war gaming. It ended with part 5 but there still was no winner at that moment.

[@LegendaryTactics]

Hello! It's Nato here. Yes, I am planning on finishing that series soon!

[@bf2229]

@@LegendaryTactics thats good to hear. I hope the counter attack in the south will lead to the distruction of the German Panzer units. They could have given Leningrad the option of an additional supply route via lake ladoga which was done in the real siege of Leningrad. Thx for the videos. I binge watched the walkthrough in one sitting :D

[@samandmayasmixup3511]

@@bf2229 Wow, great! I will definitely get to it, hopefully this week!

The link toward the second part does not work. (Video is private)

[@LegendaryTactics]

It does now! We released the videos one hour apart. Thank you!
