The Commodore 64 was the first battlefield. 25+ years later, the strategy is still the same. Only the board has changed.
// ORIGIN
The Commodore 64 was the first battlefield. A keyboard, a CRT monitor, and the beginning of a 25-year obsession with how systems work, how enemies think, and how to win.
That obsession didn't start as a gaming hobby. It started as pattern recognition. Every game was a system to be analyzed, broken down, and mastered. The games that stuck — Warhammer, Civilization, Total War — were the ones with real strategic depth. Games where understanding the doctrine mattered more than fast reflexes.
When JROTC introduced formal military doctrine in 2000, the framework clicked. Sun Tzu. Clausewitz. Boyd. The same principles that governed real warfare were the same principles winning tabletop games. That wasn't a coincidence. It was evidence.
