Tournament of Champions (Season 4) for AA 50 Anniversary '41 version
-
Deltium (Allies) defeats Chewbaluba (Axis), bid 22 to Allies. Allies caught a decent 22 bid to start the game with good momentum, using the traditional US Pacific coupled with the slow but steady Russian / UK resistance to Germany. However, early in the game, Axis caught the Allies napping in SZ 12 with a well-planned Axis double tap with Italy leading the charge by capturing Gibraltar, thereby allowing German air to hit the UK navy very hard and landing in Gibraltar thereafter, giving the Axis a huge IPC boost and eliminating any threats from the UK for several rounds until it could rebuild its navy. However, the Russian swarm continued to advance in the Eastern Front, while the US countered with some big gains in the Pacific, culminating in the ultimate capture of Tokyo in US 7. Thanks Chewbaluba for your very good sportsmanship and speed of gameplay.

a432 (axis) defeats tulkas (allies). Allies conceded turn 10 on Germans turn.
-
Empiricist (Axis) defeats Froin (Allies), Froin conceding on Japan's turn round 8. A well fought match, but a mistake with Caucasus at the start made it an uphill battle for Allies which ultimately proved too much. Thanks to Froin - a skilled and very affable opponent.

Mogwai (Axis) defeats MasterCam (Allies), with MasterCam conceding in Round 13 after concluding that every possible counter move would not lead to victory. Moscow was taken in round 6, but a hide and run strategy was employed by the Allies leading a long hunt to cut down stragglers. 0_1516742647353_Tournament.tsvg

Deltium (Axis) defeats Beck (Allies, with bid of 14) in Round 11. First, Beck is a professional and swift player. Allies opted for a KGF and made good initial progress, along with its bombers causing incredibly painful damage , with 4 Allied bombers surviving intact through Round 7, without any losses, and huge IPC damage to Germany. Then, if that wasn't bad enough, Beck masterly utilized the UK to thin Germany in key territories like Poland, where it had a defensively solid position, but the consistent thinning of unit count allowed the Allies to ultimately stack NWE and trade France repeatedly. However, the Japanese war machine patiently advanced to Persia, which along with some German air support secured a pivotal position in Kazakh. Shortly thereafter, Japan captured Moscow, and the Allies graciously resigned. Good game Beck!

Wasp(axis) wins vs. Mogwai(allies). Stalin gets his way as the western allies employ a break germany by attrition strategy. Stalin sips on vodka as yanks and tommies die by the 10's of thousands across the beaches of europe. It turns out, the Italians do have the will to fight! Later...the red army reaches the gates of the reich itslef! However, japan lays siege to the caucasus and raids moscows' backyard. The end comes soon after as the imperial air wing destroys the british fleet reinforcing the red army in poland. The only job left is to round up all the allied war criminals and sentence them to our justice!

Hi Ondis - thanks for checking again, but we are OK. I do plan to launch a new tournament for AA 50 '41 after this one is completed. In the meantime however, if you are receptive, I am accepting registration for a Revised tournament at the following link, which should launch in late February. Cheers, Deltium

sneakingcoard against quartermaster
Axis vs Alliesallies was getting pu advantage.
europe all surrounded.
but allies was having its stalingrad at balkans, 3 rounds later russia has fallen.
an overall good game with a lucky winner. -
andrewthree(Allies) defeated Beck (Axis). Axis ran into some bad luck early in Caucasus. Allies focused on bombing Germany, sending troops to Middle East and submarine warfare in Pacific. Axis had difficulty recovering and eventually decided there was no point continuing, conceding on round 7 Germany.

@andrewthree was a good game ,i will mention that battle calc wasnt working properly,we both agreed on that and that axis had very very bad dice not only early on,but thru out whole game which made the match no fun for me at all.
