TopGun vs Djinnwind .

DW has a win as the Kraut and might pull one off as the Frog . Should be done on time .
TG plays one turn a day , rain or shine .

Still no turn from DCK. No show since Thursday...

I lacked spirit in defense and was sloppy and disorganized on the attack. Early unofficial result is a Muwatalli victory, winning faster as Axis.

I tried a pretty passive, layered defense...which will be beaten in around 14 turns. I did some silly things as the Germans, and Muwatalli made me pay for every mis-step.

It's my third loss, so good luck to the remaining generals. I thoroughly enjoyed my matches, and the lessons my opponents shared with me through the destruction of my forces. HUGE thanks to Goose for all the hard work, it is a great tournament.

Yes , thank you , Goose . Running a Tourney is a lot of work . Dealing with some of us I am sure is more . Thanks to you and Viel Gluck to all !

Update on France:

Nicknilsbart vs. Puddleduck

Nicknilsbart dominated and won both matches!

I believe this means I'm out, so good luck to everyone (especially those that defeated me!). As always, kudos to Goose for setting this up. Look forward to the next tourney!

Quick Update from the Goose man
My internet was out all day yesterday, and now that it is up I am moments for leaving for a Lutheran Homeschool retreat, so yeah, a Niche of a niche, anyway, I will not have access to anything or be checking anything until late Saturday night.

So hopefully any issues can be worked out and resolved, as I will be unable to assist.

Check in on Saturday, when hopefully most, if not all matches shall be finished.

Blessings on the rest of this week and into the weekend.

I won both games vs bleedingbreeg.

TG has turns 21 and 22 to pull off a German Victory .
Hopefully he will finish or concede the game today .
If not , at his One turn a day rate we would be done Monday .

Our game Gwaylare vs Alexrus is finished.

Gwaylare won as Axis in Turn 13
Alexrux won as Axis in Turn 19, I did surrender today with no hope to get beyond turn 20.

This was a great game, thanks to alexrus and I am glad to met him in a Blitzkrieg map like France, because on a tactical level alexrus was the superior player.

Alright Folks,

These are the last players that I have left to finish there games:




Ins07 * vs SUGAR74 *

agentj23 ** vs slimdawg101 **

HowlingEmpath ** vs Muwattali **

Mkoki77 * vs texasboy *

Frighteningfred ** vs elninjo **

Stefano63 ** vs Whitescale **

buffaloraven ** vs red1971 **

DCK * vs Warhomer *

I am hoping that I here from each of you very soon to let me know where you are at and who is the likely winner.

I want to set up matches on Tuesday, so that I can post Round 5, Greece, early on Wednesday May 2nd, at the latest.

Please contact me with updates and any questions.

The rest of the people still have time to prepare your strategy for Greece, just not too much more time.

Blessings,
goose

Congratulations to Mkoki77, you played a great match.

DCK and me have not finished in time.

We are around turn 13-14 and both (i think) are equally close to a axis win in 2-4 turns (barring any surprises).

In my honest opinion it could have gone both ways.

DCK set the game up very late (about a week in) and took around a weeks pause during our match, but I have no idea how this should factor in. All I can say is that we would have made it otherwise.

DW two Wins

Ok these last 3 matches are the only ones I have to hear back from the results





Stefano63 **
vs
Whitescale **




buffaloraven **
vs
red1971 **




DCK *
vs
Warhomer *


DCK and Warhomer have gotten back to me and will be unable to finish.
Based on the dynamics of their match Warhomer will tentatively be declared the winner, so DCK will be paired up as having 2 losses into the 5th round, but DCK can still give Warhomer a black eye by finishing the game late and reporting the results, if he is able to beat warhomer late warhomer will also have his 2nd loss, but for Round 5 will be set up with someone who has only lost a single match.

Stefano63, Whitescale, buffaloraven, redtiger1971

Have yet to report and unless I hear something soon all 4 will be eliminated as no shows.

I am now going to attempt to set up the matches for Round 5, Greece.

Since I am home sick today I can hopefully post matches today.

OK!

Round 5 matches will be posted very soon

I can only speculate, but in central europe, we have the first warm and sunny days this spring. Perhaps some players focus on outdoor activities.

Hugh Moore * vs alfredoallu *

Alfredoallu won with the Germans on turn 17
Alfredoallu won with the Greeks turn 20

It was an interesting battle I wish Hugh Moore luck in his next match.
