bayder (Allies) defeats epinikion (Axis +10) in G14 of a pbem game. Allies had the benefit of early luck, enabling them to establish strong positions. Axis built up big stacks and constantly posed a threat on Cauc, but were unable to break through while the Allies TUV lead kept climbing. Thanks, as always, to epi for being one of the very best opponents, both in skill and sportsmanship. Game file attached:

@prastle It's back for me. Thanks!

I suddenly cannot see the Tournaments folder. I checked with others in the lobby, and they cannot either. Did something happen to it? Thanks. -bayder

Sounds intriguing, sign me up please!

Thanks

bayder (Axis +10) defeats tulkas (Allies) by surrender in PBEM game. The first few rounds saw wild dice swing both bays, but then Axis started getting the better of it, with an AA hit and most of the trading luck. Despite Axis having good position, Allies were still in it being +58 TUV, but tulkas decided it was time to surrender. Thanks tulkas...always a good game with you! -bayder

bayder (Allies) defeats frank_the_tank (Axis +9) by surrender in UK9, played mostly online with some PBEM turns. This game was defined by a G2 attack on the Allied fleet in sz12. The USA bomber had missed against a U-boat in USA1, so the Germans gambled and successfully flew a ftr from Lib over the AA in Alg, commencing an attack on sz12 that ended with the expected result: 1 ftr and 1 bomber surviving for Germany. This slowed the Allied naval expansion in the short-term, but also hindered G's ability to trade and to threaten SZ's later in the game. Japan rallied and stacked Persia a few times, resulting in bloody exchanges with the Russians. Ultimately, UK and USA put the squeeze on Europe until Berlin fell with Japan too far away from Moscow. Thank you frank, for the fast, fun, and friendly game!

I thought I would bump this link to a new topic so people could find it easily:

bayder (Allies) defeats GeneralDudeU (Axis +9) in round 5 via surrender in an online lobby game. Germany gambled in round 1 with solo BB on DD in sz15, and had to lose the tran destined for Egy. Then, Egy didn't fall, and things went from bad to worse for the Axis powers. Japan begin gaining steam, but it wasn't fast enough as Allies quickly had Germany backed into a corner. Axis got absolutely horrible luck in this game, and GeneralDudeU was very sportsmanlike in never complaining.
