Vonik - I tried the link but could not reach it. Will try again later.

And yes, I understand the bias distinction and you're are right, but:

(1) he had played multiple games as the Axis against the AI
(2) I had only played twice, once as Italians only then once with Russia only
(3) he specifically wanted the Axis for the first game
(4) in board wargames, which is all we played until now, he is very good and we both agree better than myself
(5) for a long time in this game he ran a parallel game which I did not - obviously this became worthless later on
(6) and yes, you are right again in that MY mistakes (MANY) cost less in the long run than his own but he could not recover from his
(7) lastly, he says he would have been better off NOT plating the AI too much beforehand - it gave him a false sense of security (his words - not mine).

But he wants to end it on the field of battle, and then try to beat my score.

Ack! Please don't tell me now but remember it for later (or until it can have no effect). Because Mark cannot read this thread to be fair I mentioned your comment about a BIG mistake and the beer allocation. He was frankly more concerned about the beer :) but did say that, as a first head to head run through, we both have made grave errors throughout.

I think (hope) that my errors were either from being overly cautious (first timer) or based upon the parameters Mark and I set forth at the beginning. Unfortunately for me I don't think that is what you are talking about :)

But I am being less cautious and trying to end this ASAP. I have not even thought about how to approach this as a German Player yet but, hopefully, will get there soon enough.
