The World at War ELO Tournament

[petedalby]

New ELO game begins: neverquits99 (Axis) vs petedalby (Allies)

Allies win - Axis resign October 1942 with Allies gaining ground in most theatres. Excellent comms and multiple turns from this new to ELO but experienced player.

[ThunderLizard11]

[ELO Ended]
ThunderLizard11(allies) [WIN] v. CanaryOwO (axis) [LOSS] - Axis resigned July '40. Germans bogged down in Northern France and lost 2 panzers with third surrounded. Canary did well in China advancing quickly but made mistakes in France that would have doomed German advance. Good turn returns from Canary.

New ELO game begins.

neverquits99 (Allies) vs petedalby (Axis).

I will also be sharing my research choices throughout the game.

[Pekkavilamoura]

ELO ended:
DavidDaley (Axis) LOSS vs. Pekkavilamoura (Allies) WIN.
Axis resign December 1941. Extremely late Barbarossa, Russia with war production driven up.

[ElvisJJonesRambo]

[WIN] ElvisJJonesRambo (Axis) vs DavidDaley(Allies) --- Game ends May 1941. Allies weren't happy with the French/British effort in France. The surrender wasn't the problem, it was the Brits were heavy invested, and Dunkirk was gonna be nasty. If want a rematch or switch sides, that's fine by me.

Good Morning El_Condoro,

Yes indeed, lets battle. You're coming out with positive vibes, I like it.
I find it an honor to face someone with such a cool name.
It's feels, biblical.
May the Lord of Hosts shine joy & happiness in your life, always.

I love that "El" stuff. Like movie El Condor. Also like El Cid.
I'm a Yank, our names are boring, like Butch in Pulp Fiction.
Will be contacting my local government to add EL to my name.
Badass!

But now, I must destroy you. Defend yourself at all times.
Official UFC rules.

El_Legend,
Elvis J. Jones Rambo

Truth be told, way back in the early 2000s when I started in online gaming, I wanted to use 'El Condor' but it was already taken, so I just added the 'o'. Yes, it's a pleasure to be in an online duel with 2 American icons - Elvis and Rambo! One will sing me into a false sense of security while the other hammers me in a bandana! As for destroying me, of course feel free to try.

Truth be told, first music album I picked out at the store, was His Hand in My Hand - Elvis Gospel. I was 5, was my birthday. My Mom tried to get me Ricky Nelson's Ricky Album. Elvis singing Gospel, nothing cooler than that on a Sunday. Ricky is Junior Varsity compared to Sgt. Presley.

The United States will have their 47th President, but we've only had one king.

All my family was original from Pennsylvania. I had so many Aunts & Uncles, couldn't keep count. It was like The Deerhunter movie, married The Mennoites. All my Uncles, Dad and Gramps were in the military. Also the farms, brick factories. From WW-1, WW-2, Korea, and Vietnam. Later in life, they did many, many different things, like Band of Brothers ending. One in 'Nam, his story and missions have finally be declassified. Many stories.

I grew up with so much Country Music & the American classics. My first concert was Johnny Cash.

Rambo was an easy attraction, for obvious reasons. Stayed in the theaters all day, watched it 3 times.

[WIN] ElvisJJonesRambo (Axis) vs DavidDaley(Allies) --- Bought Rockets & Artillery. Shelled England & Lennigrad, quite fun. Allies too passive, so took Spain & Turkey. Axis were chill, took bunch land and won on MMPs

It's a beautiful morning!

Umeu (allies) Beat EarlyDoors (axis)

Axis surrender November 1942 after Rome falls to swift powerful US Invasion - Italy surrenders
Earlier UK and US Navy had beaten up the IJN and advances in USSR and China had stalled.
Germany still had lots left but it was only going to end one way. Under pressure throughout
