Brilliant.

I applaud your ruthlessness and pragmatism. Of course its a tactic that can only be used a limited number of times against a specific enemy, but devastating at the time.

Of note, you employed several of Sun Tzu's core strategies. Central being that all war is deception. Be strong where you seem weak, be weak where you appear strong. The glorious strategist himself would be proud at your implementation of time tested fundamentals of war.
