Revised Tournament of Champions (ToC 16)
-
Calbears Axis (+9) defeated King Kelly in Rnd 8. Japan's naval and air force stymied early advances from the US Pacific Fleet, allowing Germany to build its forces and advance on Moscow. The fuhrer's massive Panzer force steamed rolled towards Moscow and King always being smart, saw no need for needless casualties and put the people first to fight another day. As always, a gentleman and scholar.

Nardawgg (Allies) defeats CmdData (Axis +10) Round 11 by projection of power. The first few rounds had wild dice with 1's hitting and 5's missing, and when the dust settled allies were in a solid position. after a few rounds of gaining ground in Africa and Europe the allies had around a 30IPC income advantage. Germany was an unbreakable force with a massive land force impenetratable from any single allied force, but Germany couldn't break out with all 3 allied armies stacked in Ukraine with an American factory. In this stalemate, after securing Africa and sending a massive army into Persia, the American fleet moving from the atlantic to the pacific, a sneak strike on Manilla and Kwangtung and the Persian army into Calcutta led to the end of the game with 9-3 VC's before thousands of TUV had to die needlessly.

Hello everyone,
In a very strange game Tulkas (allies) over ingcameroni (axis +9) by surrender in R2. After a great dice in R1, Cam tried the Sea Lion strategy with Germany. Surprised (and a bit shocked) Tulkas jarred his memory to recall grouping all the ships (UK/USA/Russia) off the coast of UK. In even more of a shock Japan bought two factories in R1, no doubt to get to Russia quickly. USA abandoned the Brits in the Atlantic and went Pacific to keep Japan from buying units with these factories (and because SZ52 ships were still alive). Dice were back and forth and unpredictable mostly favoring the defender (after R1). Ultimately axis made a game changing error in the sea around WE that allowed UK (and USA if needed) to take out key planes there. I considered an edit but it was too much of one due to those ships being used for too many things in the G2 turn. I don't think I'd every played ingcameroni but he is almost too nice of a guy and a very good sport. I hope to play him again in the future. -

Nardawgg(Allies) defeats Wasp (axis+10) in a truly wild game. The critical moment was when Russian troops moved heavy into Ukraine overlooking a very clever tactic by Wasp where the Germans from Karelia and the Japs from Persia cut off a possibility of retreating back to Moscow. 2 rounds later Moscow fell to German hands, but the Russians were vengefully marching to Berlin in return. With the clock ticking on Allies attack on berlin, 3 rounds after Moscow fell, the Americans were able to take Berlin after the heroic Brits sacrificed ALL their troops in an attack to soften Berlins defenses. The Russians began marching back to Moscow, but Wasp ceded the game.
Thanks for a great game and fast pace Wasp! Till next time.

I thank @pannpall for a fast online played game on the highest level, that my axis (+8 full africa) with good dice managed to win at the end. -
bayder (Axis) defeats @nardwagg (Allies) by surrender in round 16 in a game played mostly pbem, with a few online turns as well. This was an intense and crazy game, with Moscow falling and Berlin immediately after. Also several big, critical naval battles defined this one. Nardawgg is a great player and friendly sportsman, and this one could easily have gone either way. I really enjoyed playing with you Nar, and hope to do it again soon. Cheers! -bayder

bayder (Axis) defeats tulkas (Allies) halfway through UK turn in round 1 due to surrender. Russia had a perfectly bad round of dice, followed by G and UK getting odds, and tulkas decided that was enough.

bayder (Allies) defeats panpal (Axis) in US combat of round 8. It was another epic game in our series, but this time my Allies got luck in avoiding AA all game, and were able to knock down Egy on a 58% attack in US8. Thanks to panpal for another great game! -bayderToC16_bay-ax_pan-al_r08_5UScombat.tsvg
