“K, some observations.

It starts with your defensive setup. You put up a screen of 3 men to shield your best 5, which is fine, but you didn't put those 3 men in contact with men behind them, letting me Frenzy-blitz your Leader on turn 1.

Your next sin was to commit your Guard unnecessarily. You could have worked out 2 dice on that blitz without getting into contact. Yeah, I saw the chainpush, but it didn't work, now, did it?

Your 1d on the carrier... yeah, it could have been 2d without Wrestle. It was 50% vs. 5/9. Not optimal, but don't beat yourself up over it. The GFI to get in contact may have been a mistake....

On turn 4, you settled for a 1d blitz when you could have had 2d on the other guy.

Your leap-fest on turn 2 of the second half was very dangerous. Yes, you repositioned, but if you'd been less focused on building an X-cage and instead just made a screen, you'd have fared better. Gacy, for example, didn't need to be where he was, I couldn't reasonably attack from that angle.

I saw the turn 5 surf coming, but couldn't do anything about it except make you roll dice. I got lucky on the scatter.

Good game. Could have been 1-1 as easily as 3-0.”
