S03 Gamerman01 (allies +12) v JWW

[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? 

I think I might have been a bit conservative with Germany. Should have bought a IC for JPN sooner and purchased more DD's for JPN in pacific. Perhaps I was overly aggressive (spread too thin) w/JPN when the Russo/brit stack closed in on BUL/POL and I felt the need to rush towards MOS. Perhaps the loss of so many JPN inf early affected things too?

And the ITA navy purchases never seem to help....

I don't think all is lost however.....The game doesn't end when R holds the big NO. I may have a trick up my sleeve, perhaps I can get in a position where the dice gods can help?

Very nice defense in France....  America might have a shot at it now?

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.

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?  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
