11L LL(+19) v Gamerman01(x) '41 no tech

[Gamerman01]

Thanks for the link to the other game - I'll go have a look now.

Zhuk is an accomplished A&A player, and it seems Dragon is pretty good too (I haven't played him yet, nor have I really watched any of his games, but am going by the results of his games against players I do know a bit about).

I need to review the other round 3 tournament games before too many more days pass.  Before a move was made in any of those games I would pick Yoshi over Joe and Zhuk over Matt, but I don't know about Anchovy vs. Dragon.  I would lean toward Anchovy, but I think whoever gets better dice would win that one.

I am not aware of who is winning each of those games (except that Zhuk won with a lucky defense of Japan or he would have possibly even lost).

And, of course, I predict that I will handily defeat JWW.  (Fully aware anyone can read this)

Looked at that game.

Z2 - never seen anyone attack with only 1 sub and 1 fighter.  I attacked JWW in Z2 with 2 subs and a fighter and lost everything, and he lost nothing.
Z9 - that's a big setback when you lose both boats in Z9 to a sub.  I try this with Germany from time to time
He took a lot of hits in the other battles.  The way you were talking, I thought he only took one or two hits.  Look at my G1 in Tourney round 2.  It's not often you can clear Egypt and Z2 both at once, but I did with 2 tanks remaining in Egypt, and lost nothing, not even the sub, in Z2.
Tourney round 3 vs. JWW he got a way better G1.  He couldn't attack Egypt because of the bid, but he only lost 2 infantry and a sub.

2 fighters against Z12 is also too light.  And he did get hit once.
So yes, I've seen better G1's, and very recently.  Don't you agree?

Look at these maps

[Gamerman01]

Note that against DD I did not attack Z12 nor did I attack Z9.  I can't believe anyone would go for Z9, Z2, Egypt, and Z12 all at once and clear them all.  It's way too risky for my tastes.

[Gamerman01]

JWW left Z9 alone and Egypt because of the bid, but cleared Z12, Z2, Z6, Ukr, EPl, and BSt with, as I said, the loss of 2 infantry and a sub.

yeah, that's what I'm saying, he went for ALL 4 battles and won them ALL!  i should have just conceded right then probably, and save us both (especially me) a lot of effort.  of course, I did learn a few things in the game, so I guess it was not a complete waste.  I am hoping he will allow me a rematch so I can see if it was just his incredible dice that won it for him (they didn't stop with G1).

[Gamerman01]

Yes, I see.  He cleared them all, but he did lose quite a few units in the process.  But you started UK1 with zero transports, which hurts.  And I hear you about the luck after G1.  Can't win 'em all, especially with dice games.

Checking in.  I'm down to only a few games now and I'm all caught up.

Cheers

Looking to tonight...  especially if JWW doesn't finish his J move

Thanks for the update.  Tough break in round 1 CNG against JWW, but it isn't over yet!

Yep, JWW finished up his J move so not sure I'll take the time to move our game tonight....  Thanks for your patience

Sweet dice for UK5 round - it's settling in to a really compelling game I think.  TUV for both sides is close, and incomes are close.  Game should look close for several more rounds...

Gamer, it's starting to look like I may need this game to be complete by Nov 1 to count toward my 10 game requirement, do you think that may be possible or should I see if I can get another game in?  I know we said it would move slowly, I'm just asking if you think it might be possible.

Cheers

[Gamerman01]

Definitely possible.  Not a sure thing tho.  Depends on a lot of things.  If you want 10 you might want to pick up another with someone who will play you daily.
