In many positions, P (13/5(2)) is better than A (8/4(2) 6/2(2)), but I doubt that's the case here. P leaves 8 numbers (41 31 21 11 66) that hit a second checker (huge) and 2 numbers (51) that wouldn't otherwise hit. Also, if White misses, Blue suffers when he can't safety both blots with 61 51 41 42 (and 62 53 leaves a repeat direct).

o (outer, 13/9 8/4(3)) or even the duplication play of O (Outer, 13/9(3) 9/5) might be an improvement on P, but I still much prefer A to any of them.

In the sequence, your Nactation was fine except that for Blue's roll of 32 played 18/16 13/10, the correct letter is Z (reverse split, or more precisely: move a back checker with the small number and play down with the large number). The letter R (Run) would mean 18/13.

D (for double) is okay, though C (for Cube) is more commonly employed. Some people still use capital D for DMP (instead of the newer d for dmp), and therefore C minimizes potential confusion when the cube turn occurs at the end of the sequence (as it often does).
