The current set of rankings include the games from the previous tournament. I could possibly scrub the previous results from the sheet if it was desired, feel free to weigh in.

I would definitely keep them - the ELO rating system is designed for plays to accumulate over time. Each player's rating only starts to make any sense after several games. Really, it's designed for situations like chess or tennis where each player has dozens of matches each year.

Or to put it another way: From Fafnir winning all of his 10 (?) games in the last tournament, we obviously expect him to do very well in the new tournament. So it makes no sense to reset his ELO rating to 1,000 like everyone else's. (not to single him out, the same logic applies to all players with all ratings, it's just clearer in the extreme examples...)

Axis concede November 1942. Germany after an unsuccessful terrible long fight at the gates of Moscow ends up fighting in 4 fronts against the allies!
Thank you very much Mark for this game!

As it was expected, Fafning wins on December, 1943.
After the first winter i already made up my mind that the war will be lost.
Multiple landings across all the map and a very much powerful CV bombing wear out both Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht. Also a very good defence againts raiding was done by Fafnir.
I tried to delay the % of readiness of both USA and Russia (quite sussccesfully). USA enter at war in Spring 1942. The DOW on Russia was on September 41.
I also tried (as a desperate movement) a landing at Tunisia but i could not take Algeria (more landings and more CV).
Curiously, i feel quite comfortable during all 1942, once that Italy surrendered (i usually play well on defence) and i could stop for a while all the three majors againts Germany. I even invested heavily on RD.
But, as it was expected, Fafnir was advancing a bit turn after turn and in early summer 1943 the East Front collapsed and with that... the End was very close.
Congratulations for a new victory, Fafnir!

Thanks, was a good game, even though I lost badly. Funny thing is, I was quite happy with the way I played the Allies as I didn't feel too overwhelmed with trying to do too much, instead I had more of a focus. I'm certainly willing to play another competitive match as the Allies again.

Game completed. Hartmann301 (Axis) vs Elveranomaslargo (Josan) (Allies). Allied victory as axis has not options by Jan 1942. Of course not the best match for Hartmann, who used to make me really hard fight in other games.

Congrats to my opponent who fought a great 1941 Russian defense.

I'm up for a new game. Preferably someone I've never played against.

I'm available for a new match, my only remaining opponent is on 2 week vacation. I'm OK with either side, vanilla or FWII.

Allies concede December 1941. The Russians were not lucky enough with their tech investment and got overwhelmed by a powerful Barbarossa all the way to Moscow and Leningrad...
MJY is a first class opponent. Many thanks Mark for your time and fast turns!
