Play
By Email 2014
After two years of single elimination play encompassing 29
games between 30 opponents, Ed O’Connors Russians defeated Pat
“the TRC Sensei” Flory in the 10-turn scenario in a
hard fought match. Despite the attrition favoring the Germans,
i.e., the Germans lost less than expected and the Russians more,
Ed's tight play combined with the Germans admittedly less than
aggressive style at the tail end of the game helped Ed land the
victory.
While the Germans had a good chance of capturing Leningrad,
and possibly Moscow, a German capture of Kursk would have been
decidedly an uphill proposition. The dice favored the Germans
early but 1942 saw the luck swing the other way and, combined
with lousy (pro-German) weather, gave the Red Army the path to
victory. Stay tuned for the announcement of the tenth edition
of the 2014 BPA-Sponsored TRC PBeM Tournament; as the
champ, Ed will soon get to enjoy the new experience of being
the man with the target on his back!
Laurels for third through sixth place were won by John Malaska,
Doug James, Bert Schoose and John Ohlin and are reflected in
the updated totals above. |
