Eboy (Axis, bid 8 ) wins over Patton77 by surrender in round 6 as Russia fell to a German attack. Allied went for a KJF in round 1. Japan responded well enough in order for Germany to build up the attack on Russia early on. Thanks for Patton77 for the lobby-game, and good luck next round. Patton77(Allies) vs Eboy.tsvg

King Kelly (Allies) wins over Frank-the-Tank (Axis +9). Allies went KJF, but Axis were able to sunk both the Allies fleets in sz 12 and 45. Meanwhile USA got factories in SInkiang and China, whilst UK had one in India. This made Japan having to struggle to set foot on land. Japanese income was constantly low.
Germany however was moving toward Russia with a huge stack of Frank-the-tanks. At some moment about 35, but still Russia was able to hold Caucasus, having support of UK and USA. As USA regained Africa, the game started to get to a big economic advantage for Allies. It was some kind of "grinding", where Allies step-by-step mad the Axis having less countries. Frank decided to call it gg in round 19. Axis could have made it another 19 rounds, but the Allies where on a roll. Also because dices favoured them in the important battles.
Thanks to Frank for an epic game!

hammond (allies) def kindwind (axis 9). The axis had terrible dice. Russia opened with 4 units on Ukraine. From there it got worse. Allies aa guns couldn't miss and by round 3 Germany's dice prevented it from taking WE and SE from the Allies. At that point the Axis surrendered. kindwind was a courteous player and pleasure to game with. Good luck in the rest of the tourney!

Tulkas (Allies) humiliates me, the Handsome one (Axis +8). While the 4th army, surrounded outside Moscow, freeze to death, and the leftovers of the Imperial Japanese fleet drift meaningless arround outside Japan, Axis surrenders in G7.
Tulkas had the initiative all the way from the start. His strategy with letting US handle Japan, and UK/Russia deal with Germany worked out excellent! It did not help Axis that the Axis airforce and Imperial Navy was unable to find any Allied transports, while the undetected Allied transports seemed to have been equipped with target seeking rockets.
Thank to Tulkas for a fun and entertaining game, and the best of luck to him in the rest of the tournament.triplea_7GER.tsvg

CmdData (Allies) wins over dunner1 (Axis +9) in 12 rounds. Some rough dice on R1 and G1 led to a tough start for both sides. The Axis retreated from Egypt in round 7 and then had its stack in Persia hit too hard by Russia. The Axis side fought hard to recover and establish a threating position on Caucasus, but ultimately could not and surrendered shortly after the US captured Southern Europe and Germany couldn't launch a counterattack on SE.
GG dunner1 and thanks for the match!

Nardawgg(Axis +10) wins against Brxxx (Allies) in 9 rounds, Axis definitely had the early game dice which led to big advantages in the push for caucusus. With Germany closing in on Moscow, brxxx surrendered. good game ToC16 Brxx vs Nardawgg.tsvg

bayder (Allies) defeats @chewbaluba (Axis +8) by surrender in round 8. Berlin had fallen, and Japan did not have a strong enough push to threaten Moscow, so chewbaluba graciously surrendered. Thanks chewb, for a fast, fun, and friendly game! -bayder

Eboy82 (Axis,9) defeats Tulkas (Allies) by surrender in round 7. An intense match where Germany had to fight hard to kick out allies invasions in W.E+S.E, but managed by a close margin to take them back over many rounds. This focus on Europe meant that Japan faced a Russia that could not hold for much longer, so Tulkas kindly surrendered and secured before too much blood was spilled . Thanks for game, good luck in next round.

Shmod (Allies) defeats Agency10 (Axis +9) by surrender in round 12. He had a lot of trouble with my KJF strategy, but at one point he had a large German fleet that could have threatened the UK after I sacrificed my British fleet for early control of Africa. I thought he would build a ton of transports and try to take the UK but he missed his chance, which had a very small window and was hard to spot. It's not often you see the axis build a fleet with chances to take the UK while allowing them to control Africa. Next time, focus on a shift to the UK and I think you'll have more success, Agency10. Thanks for an interesting gametriplea_12Rus.tsvg

Nardawgg (Allies) defeats KingKelly (Axis+9) in a wild and bloody game, with pacific navies and massive armies being traded. Germany was heavy in Caucasus for most the game as US opted for a pacific game. With Russia hanging on by a thread, American fighters finally reached Moscow to seal it up, and started expanding in pacific. Allies squeaked out a victory due to victory cities with 10-2 at the end of US15. GG KingKelly, great fast paced live game with a very strong player. Very close game ToC16 KingKelly vs Nardawgg.tsvg

Gkhan (allies) defeats Brut1980 by surrender in round 11. For most of the game the axis had control of the islands, Asia, Africa, and most of Europe while the allies clung to a foothold in WE. Eventually the allies were barely able to double tap to take Berlin just before Japan would have taken Moscow. TOC 16 gkhan brut1980 oct 2020.tsvg

Handsome (Axis+8) wins vs Patton77. Germany had early luck in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. The Mediterranean fleet managed to get 2 surving subs to help protect the main ships. This helped Germany to have complete controll of Africa by turn three.
The Allied opened with a KJF strategy. With the help of Russia, factories poped up in both India and China. Japan was not able to put pressure on thoose factories. They where focused on keeping the US away from the income of the Pacific Islands. In round 4 Allies started to retake the African continent, while at the same time occupy both East Indies and Borneo. Luckily for me, Japan was able to retake those Islands.
US/UK kept ARMs and FTR's floating into Moscow to help withstand the growing threat from the German forces. But in round 9 the order to attack was given, Moscow fell and Patton77 surrendered.
Until the final attack no major battles had been done, but a lot of small and important battles in each round made it a very close and interresting game. Small mistakes or unlucky dices could have turned the result.
Thanks to Patton77 for a fast and friendly game.

Frank-the-tank (Axis+10) defeats brxxx (Allies). Germany's entire fleet survived round 1 and 2 which allowed for grouping in the Northern sea. This caused some distraction to the UK and free up Germany to push forward East. On round 6, after the UK attempt to set ground on WE, Germany blitz back in defence and wiped out the Allies establishment. The gain in TUV was important. Meanwhile, Japan managed to grow slowly but steadily and became an important threat to Russia. Given that Germany retranched in defensive stacking, there was not much of a path to revert course for the Allies. Brxxx graciously surrendered in round 9. Thanks for the game brxxx, nice playing with you!
