The World at War ELO Tournament

[ElvisJJonesRambo]

[LOSS] ElvisJJonesRambo (Allies) vs KlasE (Axis)

Allies are toast before even Barby. Surrender.

Disaster #1: May 1940 Germans got clear weather throughout, French cracked.

Disaster #2: Early 1940, Royal Navy sent most ships to Pacific to fit Japs. Germans sent all their ships to Atlantic. Weak ass Navy trashed, didn't expect every Kriegsmarine.

Disaster #3: Early 1941, Royal Navy went to Singapore with 3 Carriers and Task Force in 1940, looking for Japs. Problem is the entire IJN was waiting to ambush me, before I ambushed them. Completely trashed, lost 3 Carriers plus many surface ships, no survivors. Whoever would attack first, would have won that battle. 4 vs 3 Carriers.

Disaster #4: Late 1940, Brits took rear units out of Egypt for Singapore. German Special Forces took empty Suez port somehow, not sure how that happened.

Disaster #5: Late 1940, India had moved to East Africa. Since Royal Navy didn't exist, sizable HQ + Armies trapped, no way to go how. India was cakewalk with nothing to guard.

Disaster #6: Chinese had just gotten Level 2 Infantry, one turn too late, never able to upgrade, when Jap Army had just upgraded and came in force.

British tried to get tricky, walked into Hell.

Marcinos1985 won a Victory vs kjgokc2007

No, no, please don't count the result. This game was not started as ELO, we just met via random game and battled several times. Taking this into account, and that game start was not announced in this thread, let's not count his game as ELO.
Still, very kind of my opponent.

[firsteds]

ELO Result:

firsteds (axis) defeated SCOLDGAMER (allies)

Lots of swings in this game. Allies eventually resigned with USSR in trouble, although China and others fighting well. Axis took all of France for once, but hard to see any benefits from it. I may start a thread elsewhere about that.

Thanks for a fun game, played quickly.

[ThunderLizard11]

ELO Ended:
ThunderLizard2 (Axis) defeats DrZom (allies). Axis victory in Jan. '41 by default. DrZom did not make a move for 6 weeks and PBEM timed-out. Axis prepping for Barbarrosa and holding strong in North and East Africa. Italian navy mauled by French before surrender. Allies holding strong in China still holding Nanning and other key cities. Hope DrZom resurfaces soon as he's a strong player.

[Taifun]

ELO Ended?
ThunderLizard2 I am still waiting for your turn. With the USSR gone and Canada and the USA invaded I think that the Allies are finished.

jackmck (Axis) wins against PJL1973 (Allies)
Allies resign in April 1941

[calcwerc]

New ELO game.
Bavre (Axis) vs. calcwerc (Allies).
Normal house rules + allies will not occupy Japanese spawning points in the Pacific.
The plan is that we both make an AAR, with the gentlemans agreement of not reading the other until game is finished.

[oldAHgamer]

Looking for an ELO game - will take either side. Usual rules.

[Taifun]

I will take the Allies if you want.

PW: KRIM

[oldAHgamer]

OK, sounds good! Besides the house rules, are we going to allow an early attack on the Japanese? I've seen some back and forth on that subject. I could go either way. Starting now.

[Taifun]

Thanks for the game! You decide but I think it is not very fair and will not attack any of those positions anyway.

[oldAHgamer]

Agreed then. No early attack on japanese. Good Luck - turn sent.

[firsteds]

New ELO game started:

firsteds (Axis) v marcinos1985 (Allies)

We have agreed usual ELO rules plus no early UK DoW against Japan and no early Japanese strategic bomber attacks against Russian transport links in Siberia.

[KlasE]

New ELO game started:

SCOLDGAMER (Axis) vs KlasE (Allies)

We have agreed on usual ELO rules.

[LOSS] ElvisJJonesRambo (Axis) vs calcwerc (Allies)

Yet another game that went the distance.

Italy surrenders early 1945, amazing they made it that long.
Germans surrender October 1945
Japs surrender October 1946

Pacific was ruled by the Rising Sun. Took out China & India. All the action in Europe. Until the fall of Berlin.
Gerry had Turkey on Diplo, large MMP supply.
Majority of the game revolved around Turkey and Southern Russia. Calcwerc used his extensive bend but dont' break defense with Forts behind rivers of Rostov, Stalingrad. German took forever to break thru to the Oil wells, attempting to link with Turkey, where massive line of battles happened also. *Key was weather turn. Russians were on their heels, needed clear weather in the South on an August turn. Nope, mud. Russians were able to take the break and refix the region, else toast.

Yanks skipped on Italy, came to France in August 1943 in strength. That foothold was the slow demise. Calcwerc goes huge with USAAF, firestorm.
