Vance, you guys should be up against the losing team of Game 20, Fighting Mongoose or Invisible Greens, which I don’t believe is decided yet. Barring any admin changes by Garg, of course.

As for Little Threats and Speedo Hares, I don’t have an answer to that. The game never started in their thread from a month ago it seems. Someone should check on them. Allweneed? You have someone to pester.

Current state of tournament to my knowledge.

Congrats to Djensen and U-505 on their victory. They played a glorious Axis game of roughly fondling the Allies’ genitals.

Sorry folks. Ended up being busy.

I do realize the game has gone on far too long for the tourney.

I agree with Garg. The game is definitely leaning on the axis side of things. And I believe that will become increasingly clear as we go along barring some quite jilted rolls, especially after another round.

Strategically, Allies have made too many mistakes and economically Axis and Allies are far too close for Allies to have the upper hand. Tactically, I’d point out a few more things, but I’d hate to give my opponent ideas.

With all that said, though, here’s a thought:

Since the tournament needs to move along and the Axis are leading, I say Unterhund goes on to play the next team in the winning bracket while Long Dark Tea Time goes to the losing bracket with 1 loss. We begin our next games.

However, I’d really like to continue playing this game, at least for another round(s) over the next few days/week. This being my first global 40 game, I could learn some things about how the game is playing out right now. Additionally, this being my partner’s first real Axis and Allies game, it could help him to see how things are playing out.

Though unlikely at this point, if Allies were to pull out a victory, Long Dark could have their loss transferred to Unterhund without messing up the tournament too much.

What do you folks think?

Regardless, Russia’s turn is incoming…
