bayder (Axis) defeats polarole (Allies) in round 8 of a pbem game using standard ToC rules. Axis were the beneficiaries of early good luck, which helped Japan stack Per in round 4. Allies were successful in several risky attacks to get themselves back into contention, but in round 8 with Germany stacking Ukr and Japan stacking Per, the Allies decided to surrender.

As always, polarole was a fun, gracious, and challenging opponent. I look forward to playing him again, we have always had great games in the past. Cheers! bayder

bayder (Allies) defeats panpal (Axis +8) in round 8 of a pbem game. Allies sealed Africa and the Med early with some first round luck and sacrificing the UK bomber. Germany could never quite recover from the lost income. Japan harassed USA's coastline all game, but was not able to advance far into Asia. Germany became isolated, and Allies surrounded Berlin, making its fall inevitable when panpal surrendered. Panpal, as always, was a gracious, fun, and fast opponent. Thanks for the game!

bayder (Allies) defeats ingcameroni (Axis +8) in Germany round 3 in a game played 1/2 pbem and 1/2 online. Germany went with a fleet strategy, putting the Allies in panic mode in the Atlantic. However, multiple failed battles due to bad luck, along with leaving France open to an Allied attack, doomed the Axis before the game really got going. Ingcameroni, as always, was a fun and gracious player, and sadly this one ended too quickly. Thanks for the game! -bayder

bayder (Allies) defeats AdamF (Axis +9) in J1 in a game played online after he quit mid-battle. Not much to report, game file attached for your own perusal.ToC14_bay-allies-adam-axis_r01_5USA.tsvg

Handsome neglected to mention the fact that my Allies had some amazing early luck in air attacks in the Atlantic and Med. This really set Germany back, despite Handsome's best efforts.

I also wanted to let people know that Handsome is the most cordial and entertaining opponent you will ever find!!! Along with each game file, he sends an amusing historical narrative, which had me laughing and sometimes Googling his references for perspective. So fun! Thank you Handsome, and best of luck!

@LouisXIVXIV Congrats! Looking forward to the next one!

bayder (Allies) defeats Gonz (Axis +9) by surrender in round 11 of a pbem game. As always, playing Gonz was a fun challenge. I had some early luck, especially with air, which tipped the balance my way. Thanks Gonz for another great game.

Cheers,

bayder
