@deltium
I assumed i was in already. -
hey players,
today epinikion
s allies defeated nardwaggs axis in 11 exciting rounds. The bid was 8 and fully placed in africa. Japan went a direct line with ics in kwantung, manchuria and fic to pressure the russian east while japans fleet cleared pacific fast. Germany was under pressure all game and defended aggressive to all directions. The dice was clearly on allies side killed 3 bomber by aa and several axis figthers by transports/aa`s. The allies managed to destroy german stacks in west europe twice, so germany was surrounded by enemies when japs heavy arm stack was blocked in sinkiang.
Thank you nardwagg for a good tournament game with excellent game speed and good luck for the rest of the tournament.best, epi

@Vahe345 - perhaps you did not read my posts above nor the multiple emails that I sent to you ?? As stated above, you did not respond to any of my emails, and we therefore assumed that you did not want to play. I even offered to play a practice PBEM game with you, and posted this both in this forum page itself and wrote multiple emails to you. I never heard back from you.....the tournament has now started, and you have to wait until the next one.
If you want to play in the next tournament, please learn how to play PBEM, and you are welcome to join !

Hello ToC 13 players - just a gentle FYI that you should have at least initiated the bidding process with your opponent now, and hopefully everyone has started their game.
Please do ensure that you start swiftly and reply to your opponent within the specified time period, which is a maximum of 36 hours per turn in this round.
If your opponent has not responded yet, please let me know immediately.
OK, I hope that you are having fun and a good game !
Cheers, Deltium

bayder (Allies) defeats QuarterMaster (Axis +9) in round 9 in a game played 2/3 pbem and 1/3 online. Axis built up two fleets early...one in Baltic, one in Med. This hampered the Allies early movement, but they soon built up enough fleet and air to crush both. That left Germany weak on the ground, while Russian had grown powerful and pushed to EEur. Japan tried to get going, but Russia was too strong and was able to hold them off. The Axis also suffered from poor luck in the early going, which compounded their problems. Thanks to QM for the fast and fun game!

In an exceedingly long game jmpsmsh as Allies defeated Dirty_Tirpitz with Axis+8 after 30 rounds . Without a lot of online time this would not have been possible. Germany chose a strategy focused on a lot of land units, surrendering Africa early on. However they were able to push to Karelia from the start putting up a lot of pressure on Russia. Japan grew big on the other side of the world as well but surrendered a lot of fighters and bombers to the UK and US navy in an attempt to relieve the Allies' pressure on Europe / Africa. This resulted in Japan getting stuck on its way to push towards Moscow, giving the Allies enough time to slowly accumulate enough IPC to finally force back Japan from the main land. Hence Russia could gather its troops and direct them to the West, supporting UK and forcing the German army into Eastern Europe.
In a desperate attempt Japan turned towards Alaska, suddenly landing a lot of units on the almost vacant American continent. Caught by surprise the US found itself under heavy siege, sticking only to Washington. Supported by many British troops the Allies could get together just enough units to hold the US and the game.
With UK in the need to ship everything to Washington, the final push towards Germany got stuck and for many rounds it looked like a stalemate between over hundred German and Russian units in Easter Europe and Belorussia respectively.
Over the next few rounds the US could finally consolidate whilst taking some of the Pacific islands from Japan. Thus UK could once again turn towards Germany, forcing back their army due to the threat of a one-two-punch and inevitably deciding the game while the US kept Japans forces at bay. Eventually as the Allies grew strong enough the British attacked Berlin firstly to weaken their forces so that Russia could sack the Germans.
Thanks a lot to Dirty_Tirpitz. I indeed enjoyed playing with you and the friendly atmosphere as well as this highly interesting and good game!- jmpsmsh

panpal (allies) defeats GeneraluddeU (Axis +8). in a game played online. Germany placed the bid in Egypt and bought a carrier to strengthen the Baltic fleet. Allies managed to retake Africa quickly while Russia was pressing Germany from the east. Us invested heavily in fighters to threaten the Baltic and the med fleet which was also reinforced with a carrier. On the other side of the board, Japan was making progress but it wasn't fast enough to threaten Moscow. Finally, allies tighten the grip on Germany and my opponent decided to surrender. Thanks to GeneraldudeU for a fast an fun game! 0_1536005636589_toc_13_gerneraldude_vs_panpal.tsvg

sol (axis +10) lost to wasp in 5 rounds (pbem) of a very fast KGF. Allies quickly took over africa and stacked Ukraine. In the meanwhile, Axis accomplished nothing, taken by surprise by very focused moves of all three allies focused on med and africa. Axis surrendered seeing no way out. 0_1536083374595_Wasp vs. Sol_5_Russia.tsvg Thanks Wasp, I learned quite a bit.

Tulkas (allies) over NastyNate52 (axis +9) surrender in R3. There was a bit of bad luck and misuse of ships by Japan in R1 that enabled the US to go Pacific and have and have an advantage that would have been tough for Japan to counter.

Frank-the-tank lost to Comorv

sol (axis +9, WR, UKR, LIB) defeats Nardawgg in 19 rounds.0_1536357927175_nard.tsvg. Thanks Nardawgg, it was a lot of fun.

Mogulrunnin (allies) defeats Eboy82 (axis) in 10 rounds. This was mostly decided in round 1 as the Brits were near perfect in defense and offense for the whole round. This delayed the Japanese forces quite significantly. Germany made a fantastic push for Caucasus, but the Japanese had not recovered enough to support, and the Germans fell a few units short. It was very close, but they then had to collapse into the homeland. Allies enjoyed a significant luck advantage! Thanks for great game!

Allies def Axis (9) in round 16
A perfect storm had hit and stunned Russia in the very first round!!! By the time Germany had placed their forces, Germany owned Caucus, had untouchable stacks in Ukraine and Karelia, and wiped out all of Russia’s air force. Russia found itself in the most desperate of circumstances. UK came to Russia’s aid at great cost and by Rd 4 the German/Russian front had stabilized into a territory trade war. But a new threat was coming from the East as the Japanese Empire had amassed a huge army coming through Siberia.
The one bright spot was that USA fought off the Afrika corps in Africa and controlled the Med early on. This probably kept Germany near its home base while UK and Russia (still without an air force) mounted a defense against Japan. Slowly the USA and Russia built up and gained ground towards Berlin. When they were in a position to double tap Germany out of the game, the axis made an honorable surrender.
The axis fought very well for someone with little “revised” experience and with just a little more push and keeping Rommel from his “vacation” in the early rounds could have easily put them in the winning column. Kudos to Handsome and good luck in the rest of the tourney! -
Eboy82 (Allies) defeats Quartermaster (Axis+7) by surrender in round 12. Germany was heavy on fighters, but were contained to holding only Germany as allied forces stacked EE very early on. This was the scenario until the final rounds when Japan came closer with tanks, this made UK + Russia retreat to east, while USA changed to full focus on pacific campaign. The critical point came when Japan allowed the majority of its tanks to be attacked by a stronger Russian army in Kazakh. Thanks for Quartermaster for the game in lobby - well played.0_1536538494339_quartermaster(allies)_toc.tsvg

Blasherke (Allies) defeats JeffSchultz32 in round 7 (axis surrender).
Germany started off by a difficult start, following the loss of almost all Luftwaffe in round 2. Japan rolled on westward fastly and furiously, and was able to threaten Moscow. However, at the cost of precious US and UK forces, Russia was able to hold and Berlin got surrounded in round 7, causing the Axis to surrender.
Thanks, JeffSchultz for a fun and quick game!
