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!

LouisXIVXIV (Axis, 8 ) defeats Valter (Allies). The game was played in 3-4 live sittings and lasted to G6, whereat Valter threw in the towel. I think it was a reasonable assessment; the board didn't have particularly exciting features, but German and Japanese income was quite healthy, Russia had few units, and Allies were a bit boxed out. My strategy for the next few rounds would have been very straightforward - G builds and begins to move on russia; J keeps USA at bay while pushing stacks on russia, and there wasn't any clear way to stop that simple march by that point in the game. The last straw came after Russia had some bad luck in light trading in Ukraine, leaving a relatively undefended Caucasus open for capture. GG Valter and good luck in the rest of the tourney.

NastyNate52 (allies) defeats Frank the Tank (axis 9) by surrender following UK8. Britain built an Egyptian factory UK1, Germany countered with a naval purchase but was unable to take the complex. The US kept Japan busy and was eventually able to take the money islands which was the last straw.
Good game @frank-the-tank !!!

Comorv defeats Tulkas. GG Tulkas!

Jeffschultz32 defeats Dirty_Tripitz. America made a Pacific fleet and put the scare into Japan, but Germany was able to push through the Russian steel curtain for the win.

Deltium (Allies) defeats Blackskull (Axis, 10 bid) in Round 9.
First, Blackskull is a friendly and good opponent. A fairly traditional game where Germany stacks Karelia early and the Japanese begin the advance to Persia, along with trading in Africa to keep the Allies on the defensive as much as possible. Allies try to play a patient strategy to let the gradual economic advantages outweigh the early tactical gains by the Axis.
Kudos to Blackskull for even squeezing in some turns during his brother-in-law's wedding in Italy. If you have not ever been to an Italian wedding before, it is very distracting ! Between the wonderful food, wine, and beautiful Italian women, it is very hard to find any time to play Axis and Allies !
Thanks again for the good game Blackskull and hope that you do well in the rest of the tournament. Cheers, Deltium

Ingcameroni (Axis 10) defeats hammond
Ingcameroni has asked me to write the game summary. So, from the loser’s perspective ……
The Allies had their way for the first 9 rounds or so. They pressured Germany to its breaking point and Germany fell to Russia. By doing so, it left Russia a bit weaker to fend off a Japan desperate to get to Moscow. Here’s where the Allies’ generals got too drunk with joy and ceased to function. Instead of just protecting Moscow which could have been certain, they decided to try and protect both Caucasus AND Moscow at the same time. With a suicidal frenzy, Germany sacrificed its remaining air and tanks into UK planes meant for Russian defense which then gave Japan a slim chance to raid the vodka stores in Moscow. Well a slim chance is better than no chance and Moscow fell . With the extra bounty from Russia, and the extra $ it had just acquired from its acquisition of Germany, Japan quickly became the dominate world power. USA and UK tried to protect Europe but couldn’t and Germany was liberated for good. The USA made a desperate flight to the Pacific Ocean but just fell shy of being able to invade Tokyo. Massive allied Battleships kept UK and USA safe but couldn’t keep the Axis from a 9 victory city win.
Kudos to Ingacameroni who kept fighting when all seemed lost. He played very well despite some bad luck with trannys and it paid off to advance to the next round. He showed good sportsmanship throughout the game and was enjoyable to game with. Good luck in the next round! -
@hammond ....tnks....Hamond... I was very very lucky against Moscow..... Hammond very good player ...only whit dice and whit a little mistake I win!! tnks... and good luck for the TOC!
