First Panzer Battles Tournament

[Dog Soldier]

Beerweasel might be quite difficult to catch, as he's several hundred points ahead of all of us, and Ozerovskii is the only scenario with high VP objectives.

Everything in this tournament is relative.
Round two #0706_03 Yakovlevo - Breaching the Second Line 600 Total Victory Point Locations
Round three #0706_04 Nechaevka - Das Reich's Full Force 800 Total Victory Point Locations

Essentially round two and round three are the same size. They are very different situations. The forces on each side are different in their make up. I stress capturing or denying the enemy objectives, because that is how you achieve the victory levels in PzB Kursk games. If you like to do math, and I know some of you do, the losses on each side can be close to equal when counting by victory points in most games. Victory points for objectives then determine who wins. At least that is my experience from playing this game for two years now.

The tournament is only just beginning the third round. We are not even half way yet. The standings are based on how well you do relative to the other players of the same side who start with exactly the same situation as you do. By the tournament's end, everyone will have had a chance top play everyone else.

Beerweasel scored a major victory in a round when no other Axis player won their game. That does help give him a better lead than on the Soviet side where four Soviet players won their games this round. But it is not an impossible lead to catch this early in the tournament.

Round 2
One Axis major victory
One Soviet major victory
Three Soviet minor victories
One draw

Good luck in round three to all!
