@Rock - thanks for your note. I'll definitely do another one of these in a couple months. I'm busy with the normal Revised tournament at the moment, but I promise to launch a new one shortly.

Cheers, Deltium

@deltium If you guys do this again I'd likely join

Pannpall - congratulations on your win to be the FIRST winner of the Revised Tech Only Tournament, Season 1 !!

Thanks to all participants to make this a fun, tech-heavy series and add some good spice and volatility into an already fun game.

Pannpall, thank you as well for your willingness to donate the $50 prize money. I will donate the $50 to TripleA on behalf of you today.

Warm Regards, Deltium

Panpal (axis+9) defeats Dirty_Tripitz (allies) in a fun heavy tech game. Round one was incredible for axis as pretty much every battle went in their favour. However. UK got heavy bombers in round 1which seemed to balance the game. However, Germany, spent 40 ipc on round 2 to secure heavy bombers, thus allowing to easily sink the allied fleet. With those heavy bombers germans were able to sink two more US fleets and denying the allies the chance to land in Europe. In the meantime, US got also heavy bombers and allied strategic bombing greatly reduced germans income. Japan built 2 factories keeping Russia busy and some naval units to defend against the heavy bombers.Also both axis powers managed to research rockets and steel Russian income. Finally, UK managed to sink a huge Japan nany but Russia was left alone and fall. Allies try to build a strong air force and managed to sink a strong German fleet but axis had secured a high income and Japan was theatening West US so allies finally surrendered. I recommend a quick look at the save game to discover how much different and fun a game can be made when tech is researched early on. Long range aircraft and heavy bombers can wreak havoc against fleets. Overall I would like to congratulate my opponent. He was fighting an uphill battle from round 1, but he never complained about dice. Finally, I would like to thank Deltium for organising this tournament and I would suggest he should keep the price and have a drink with his wife, or donate it to the tripleA. I am looking forward to the next tournament
