RAF 303 v3 + Grumpy Dwarf v3 + D-Day v1

I’m publishing this tactic to demonstrate an alternative approach to the game—one that focuses on balance and realism rather than exploiting the match engine.

This is a fully hand-played save.

Tactical Styles Overview



This is a basic explanation of the differences between four default tactical styles in Football Manager + so called meta instruction and my instruction (3 actually used tactics).









It’s important to stress again that my goal is to enjoy the game, not to deliberately abuse issues within the match engine. For me, taking full advantage of known ME flaws feels like cheating.

Season 1 *transfers not allowed due to the Berserk patch)


Season 2


Season 3
still playing (Dover save)


Validation:
So far I have played 141 matches and save the game 29 time (29 – 1 (first) – 1 (last) – this is 3 season so -2 (I allow myself 1 save in pre season) = 29-4= 25
141 matches / 25 = 5,64 matches per save




The gameplay explanation is published in Magician’s Dover Story, Season 3, Episode 09, “Tactical Mindset.” It includes the changes I made to overcome obstacles during the match.
