Looking forward to play
is there some kind of documentation about how to play a online tournament?
I've done some reading in the eastern front tournament, but still have some questions left.

- Do medals count as points for the ranking?
- Do always we have to wait untill a commander chooses a scenario before we know (and can practice) a scenario?

I'n new, sorry

I'm adding the first result here ... will a Results thread be made soon ?

The Axis kick off with a WIN at Khalkin Gol!


Jaykay2010 v Antoi 8-7


This was a close game ... I took an early lead by sustaining pressure up the Axis right flank ... going ahead 3-0. Antoi fought back, countering my Armor Assault to tie 3-3, and at the half way stage it was 4-4, as Antoi began to press down the Axis left flank ..

Unfortunately for Antoi, my (now) advanced Artillery which I had parked in the trees was proving to be stubborn .. the lure of the single unit artillery bringing his elite infantry forward to attack it 3 times (6 dice) without a grenade in sight ...

This slowed him down slightly, and I picked up a few more medals up my left flank, with one particular brave infantry unit.

At 6-5 i advanced my other artillery 3 spaces into the centre of the board to pick off his weakend infantry on his baseline ... however Antoi's responsive tank unit took that one out immediately, (moving in and throwing 3 grenades straightaway i recall)

A further assault up the middle for Antoi looked like he would succeed in gaining the 3 medals he required, inluding the centre objective which he secured, but failure to destroy a 2 inf unit with his advanced tank was costly, as I rounded on him with an Infantry Assault to grab the 2 medals i needed to win ... but only just !

8-7

Cheers Antoi .. a great game, and welcome to the tourney !

The Axis won again in Khalkhin Gol!

Vaillants vs Jeronimon 8 -6 http://www.daysofwonder.com/memoir44-online/fr/battle/?id=36 167387

The battle was way shorter the the one played by Jaykay and Antoi. Only took 14 turns.

Each opponent began with some shoots on their respective right flank; consequence: minor casualties. This was followed by lots of movements in the centre of the battlefield. The Soviets tried to eliminate the troops protecting the bridge on their right flank, but didn't achieve to do so. The Japonese troops and artillery destroyed the first elite soviet unit during those moves. All centre Axis troops made a step forward to the river.

The Soviets counterattacked with their tanks and succeeded to destroy a Japonese tank. The Japonese answer was quick: the healthy units were used to push the Soviet tank in the river. Meanwhile, in the centre of the battlefield, the Japonese crossed the river and took the hill.

The Soviets went on in their attack on their left flank. They injured the Axis troops but didn't destroy them. That was fatal. Even injured, the Japonese are dangerous! Two medals were obtained on the Soviet left flank.

The same happened in the next turn: Soviet trying to push on their left flank, and Japonese resisting. The assault of tank of the Soviets didn't change the end of the battle... The Axis won !


Very nice scenario, with a very sympathic Dutch opponent I did enjoy my first steps in the tournament!

Another Japanese win

I hope to stem the tide later today and record a win for our side.
