The World at War ELO Tournament

[petedalby]

New ELO game begins:

Laurenz Allies vs petedalby Axis

[ElvisJJonesRambo]

Game ended:

[LOSS] ElvisJJonesRambo (Marcinos1985 = Allies) ---> brought his x3 strategy to Europe. Russians had nice defense real trick. Pacific had zero action.

Marcinos1985 is a solid Allied player, enjoy playing with him. He does the x3 threat on Germany, but my real problem was I just flat out lost in Russia, too slow. The Pacific has zero action. Took China, and soon India. But Germany got absolutely invaded in late 1943. Paratroops and the usual swarm of SF on Italy plus tons of air power. Not sure how Russia gets so much tech quick. Are players using Spying/Intel????

GG Elvis.
No S&I for USSR, not enough MPP's, for it to work you would have to double chit it early. And Soviets don't benefit from US/UK S&I I believe.
Or do they?[:)]

ELO game completed. LoneRunner (Allies) vs ThunderLizard2 (Axis). Allies win in December 44.

Interesting game where Russia held onto Leningrad and Moscow while the Axis took Stalingrad and Perm.

@Marcinos1985 --- Yeah, for some reason, your game fits well against me. War in the sands of Africa. Your use of Bombers is top caliber. I'm sure you spotted the German Panzers in the Middle of France. You kicked their ass with Bombers supplies. No gas, toast. Ugly. Well done on your part, very well done. I was waiting for you to land, make a mistake. I guess, Southern France. Instead you went Normandy and Northern Italy, sucked, bad.

Dude, you're invasion of Italy was deadly. Killing 3-Star Van Bock and the Luftwaffe Aces (2 & 3 star) sucked out on supply. Very well done.

You really won the game in Russia, as usual. I bashed key troops in the Rostov fortress, bogged down. The fortresses around Moscow, cost me lots of MMPs on attrition. Japs got lonely.

Take it easy buddy, we will battle again in the future.

[ElvisJJonesRambo]

My comment about S&I is actually my failure to take advantage of it, as Axis. Of course, Russia is very short on MMPs. You had AA-2 on the start of Barby in May 1941. I was bummed. You had all kinds of fortresses in Rostov, I sure was attracted to them, and Moscow. Was 2-hexes from Moscow. The battle at Stalingrad was nasty exchanges. I poured all MMPs into. The Panzers in reserve in France were for Patton. You put on quite an Air Show and didn't make any mistakes. Well done, kid.

Hi migace - thanks for the game, i think you said first multi-player right?

You had a strong middle section when you shocked my carriers at Midway, the japanese started punching hard in the north of china and i allowed you to get on a roll and retake Tobruk. You also destroyed the US behind the line landings in North Africa.
I got angry at that point and switched Bomber Commmand to the mediterranean and they devastated your supply, right?
Italy was next with Special Forces poised to capture those unguarded Italian ports.

You had strong tanks and lots of force in Russia but I held everywhere other than Voronezh / Stalingrad and mounted strong counter-attacks to the South-East of your Moscow forces and driving on Daugavpils.
The destruction was mounting and I think your right that the outcome was inevitable but may have taken couple more years to get there.

Good luck for the future

I have some experience multi play with my friends but this was my first ELO game.
Through this play, I realized the importance of the France campaign and the importance of timing in North Africa.
Good luck with you!

Game Schuki92 (Axis) vs Marcinos1985 (Allies) started (several days ago).

Game ended in late 1941 with Allied victory.
Immediately rematch was started:
Schuki92 (Axis) vs Marcinos1985 (Allies).

Thank you very much EarlyDoors for new rankings, some interesting moves.

[Taifun]

Many thanks EarlyDoors for the update and great job.
There is an error somewhere. I lost 3 games and only 2 are listed, maybe my last game against Ilo4Tu was not listed... I should be 12/9.

[EarlyDoors]

That's right. The game against II04tu was not listed as ELO. It would be great if it was - a great battle of the masters - are you both happy for it to be so?

[Taifun]

Ilo4Tu deserves all the credit and this game should be listed as ELO.

I am working in a new innovative USSR deployment to stop the Germans in 1942...not sure if it will work!

Game started:

DmitryN (axis) v EarlyDoors (allies)

Game ended in September 1943 with Axis resignation.

A great game. I really think DmitryN is a rising star. He punches as agressively as Fafnir and kept the pressue on throughout. The Japanese were invincible and pushed China right back and then captured most of India and Pearl Harbor.

He took France in steady time then surged through Cairo.
We had a ding dong battle in the North Sea before he finally broke through at great cost.

The Russians stood up well, helped by one solid winter of no fly (1942 i think). It was here where his units over-reached in the Gomel - Kursk - Orel region. I counter-attacked, destroying 2 HQs and chopping their supply. Many died in the great surge into Germany.

Meanwhile UK/USA threw Corps into Western Europe and troops from Africa retook Egypt.
A really fun and very different game

Thanks

[ENDED]:

ElvisJJonesRambo (Axis) lost to KlasE (Allies)

--Got sloppy, made my classic mistake of trying to save MMPs, move regions on the map, forgot to move a filler piece in North Africa. Cost me HQ + Panzer, when I had momentum in the Sand.
--KlasE did Diplo'ed DEI and they joined Allies. Didn't notice. Good move on his part.

If Japan loses DEI to Diplo, game over.
