Game of the Week: G_Spell vs Bad Herr Day

[Bad Herr Day]

I can't believe I have both the official and unofficial games of the week!

What can I say about the game against G_Spell?

The first thing to say is that G_Spell played very well. Your moves were very efficient and looking at the replay I don't think I could improve on your play. Well done.

Secondly, I took a real gamble with placing my scrambler so close. You ignored my "feint" which was the attack by 2 soldiers at the bottom of the board. I was hoping you'd spend your wits killing those 2 soldiers, allowing me to use my scrambler to convert your heavy and take at least 3 points off your base (if not 5) . Unfortunately for me you ignored my loose soldiers and chose that turn to attack me at the top of the board. As p1 I don't normally expect p2 to attack my strongest concentration of units because that almost always loses, but in this case I had invested a lot of wits in a scrambler that you killed and then with my 2 soldiers offside at the bottom of the board i couldnt prevent you from taking 3 points off my base.

From that point on the game was lost for me. I strung it out for as long as I could, hoping for a mistake, but you played well and I couldn't play efficiently because I had to cover my base to prevent you from scoring 2 more points against it.

Well played, and if you play like that in other games you deserve to get promoted soon.
