Overall: The
Germans won 23 of the 37 games played. Supply
bids escalated every round as the survivors
showed their preference for the Germans.
Despite this, John Crabtree wins as the Allies
behind strong assault dice by taking Caen
on the 10th against the vaunted German defense
of WBC champ Applebaum in a game played in
less than a week.

or upon all completion, whichever occurred
first.

an average bid 10.3 supply points.

Round
3 — Matches ended Aug.
15, 2002, or upon all completion, whichever
occurred first. The
Consolation Round ended on Sept.
16, 2002.
And then there were five. Round
3 ended nearly three months before the
deadline, as the remaining unbeaten players
showed how quickly the game can be played.
The Germans won four of five games with
an average bid of 16.2 supply points. It
seems the bids escalate as the rounds progress.
