[Ktonos]

Tourney match ended

HamburgerMeat (Allies) vs Ktonos (Axis), Axis victory April 1942

[Markiss]

New game Markiss (Axis) vs Jeff_Ahl (Allies)

[Bolko]

Tourney Match Ended

Bolko (Axis) vs MrLongLeg (Allies) Allies were the victor in Feb 43

I threw in the towel as I was never able to build up enough steam. I tried a later start in Russia and encountered all the hazards of such a gambit. Not enough Soviet troops were captured on turn one. The Russian mobilization level was much higher than usual for me, as I recall- I still don't quite understand the effect this has on Russian prep. Further, I didn't try to capture enough moral objectives early on and by the time I was going to really get going in 42 I suddenly realized I was faced with a reversed moral differential.

There were other troubles as well.

Thanks for a fun game, Bolko

[Ktonos]

I am open for a couple of new tourney games, preferably one as axis and one as allies

[Rannug61]

Rannug(axis) wins over PJL1973(allies)

PJL1973 lost a lot of UK units when France surrendered because they where in Vichy territory. A very brutal way out find how the game works in regards to the creation of Vichy France. Had Vichy not been put in place he would have been in a very good position but most Axis players choose to go for Vichy.

Actually I don't want this to be put on the match records. Indeed I haven't officially quit the game yet. This is not me being a sore loser, but rather a very nasty oversight / misunderstanding of the rules.

[Bolko]

Well, my ass was handed to me again!

I just resigned in my game with Irish Guards.

Bolko (Axis) Irish Guards (Allies) Axis resign around Jan 1941.

I'm starting to learn what mistakes not to make. Who knows how many new types of friction will be taught to me.

[Bolko]

OK,

So who else wants to teach me a lesson. I prefer to play the Axis with no Uber-Diplomacy

Now you understand how nice I have been to you

[Bolko]

[Bolko]

New Match between Bolko and Ktonos

House Rule: No Uber-diplomacy

[Ktonos]

Tourney match ended

BPNisBACK (Axis) vs Ktonos (Allies), Allied victory July 1944

Many thanks to BPNisBACK for staying and keeping a steady turn flow to the end

[BPINisBACK]

As Ktonos said i was defeated after tons of suffering trying to hold the line againts the soviets.
A very "strange" game were Algeria holds Axis until 1943 were the Spaniards (who join the war after Russia enters at war) conquered the Capital.
Very, very strange game. Axis never could enter deep in Russia. Even no key cities were conquered (Kiev, etc.)
But Axis defeated many landinds of WA in Spain (large battle there), Italy (it was the Russians who conquer Rome), France, north of Germany...
Really exciting game!
At the end, the soviets enter in Germany from the south (Poland was well defended) and... this is the end...
I'm am UP for a new game, BTW!

[PJL1973]

I notice that my game against Rannug has been added to the results, even though I have said I would like the result taken out of the competition. Can you please do this? If not, then I would like all my games taken out of the competition and I will permanently withdraw from the tournament. Alternatively you should only include games that have been confirmed as completed via the PBEM server.

[Ktonos]

Not cool demanding such a thing.

So anyone who is losing a game can just ask for his game to not count? And if he is rejected then he just stops playing so the game isn't finished?

Not cool in my opinion.

[Bolko]

Hey, BPINisBACK I have a question, when did Germany declare war on Russia in your game with Ktonos?

Also, which side brought in Sweden?
