S03 Gamerman01 (allies +12) v JWW

@Gamerman01:

@JWW:

Yeah like I said, in far fewer words, you are up. And if you do take this one we will be 1-1 against each other w/two allied wins. I guess I can take some solace away from this by the fact that my allied win against you came on T8 or 9 and you seem to need 18 -19 turns to take me down?  :-P

Well, congratulations to you, too.  Can’t you give a guy credit when he plays well?  Don’t make me recount all the times you got very lucky in the first game, including the disastrous G1 attack on Z2.  :roll:

yeah, yeah, yeah, I beat you and it was the lucky rolls and your up in this game and “you played well”. In the 5-6 years I’ve been playing here I haven’t heard this before?  :lol: Also, it doesn’t need to be mentioned that you play well. It is clearly obvious by any tracking method that we play well. Our league records and advancement in this tourney speak to our game play.

On the chess site I play at they track “blunders”, bad moves you make etc….I have you at one blunder here, your early usa bmb afr landing spot and I have my blunders at the late JPN IC & perhaps ITA navy purchase and perhaps German lack of aggression early? If this analysis is accurate it’s a 3-1 blunder in your favor, which in the absence of crazy dice puts me at a disadvantage. I don’t know how you see the blunders we made? I might add the Russian navy purchase on your side too. maybe it’s 3 -2. maybe

pathetic dice there….doesn’t help

3 hits for 7 @ 3
2 hits for 17 @ 2
0 hits for 8 @1

I think the avg D s/b 11 hits. maybe 10. That was FAR less than avg….not good

@Gamerman01:

As far as “conservative” German play, as you say, that is a big reason this is taking me a lot of rounds to win.  So I think it misleading to brag that you beat me faster than I beat you.

agreed, I turtled up pretty quick, it will of course take longer to defeat G&I.
@Gamerman01:

Russian navy was definitely not a blunder.  You may not realize it, but the carrier allowed me to put 2 russian fighters on it which allowed me to reinforce Poland with extra UK fighters, which was just enough to make it a bad idea for you to attack it.  Only Russia can build in Z5 (of the Allies), and putting the destroyer there was, again, just enough to make it a bad idea for you to attack it.  Also, did I really need a couple extra men or a tank for Russia?

I thought it would have been a bad idea to attack it w/out the red ships. I think a bmb or arm would have been better but I could of course be wrong…it probably shouldn’t count as a “blunder”
@Gamerman01:

You evoked my response of “luck” in the first game, because you were bragging about how you beat me faster than I’m beating you.

wasn’t bragging. it isn’t worth bragging about just a factual observation.
@Gamerman01:

Also because you got a lot of mileage out of beating me once.

no idea what you are talking about???
@Gamerman01:

If you wouldn’t keep posting about how you beat me once in league play, you wouldn’t have to listen to the excuses.  :roll:

???
@Gamerman01:

Do you want me to ascribe the first loss to something other than luck?  How about over-confidence from having not lost a game in nearly a year?  :-)[\quote] it doesn’t matter what you ascribe the loss to, unless of course it bothers you that much that it makes you feel better?. I won’t make reference to it again.
@Gamerman01:

Might I point out that you won the nearly meaningless game, but the big round 3 tournament game is mine?  So when we’re both bringing our “A” game……  :wink: Time to keep this game rushing towards its inevitable conclusion!  :-D

no game is meaningless!!! This one isn’t over yet! And this is my A game!! Have a good thanksgiving!
