Here is the tribute http://www.stratege-magazin.de/2015/02/07/aar-wahl-des-jahres-2014-bei-si-forum-aar-wahl-des-jahres-2014-bei-si-forum/ and here the AAR http://www.si-games.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26774&highlight=In+vorderster+Front

No, just Malta. Destroy and occupy Malta and supply is stable.

Axis units will moved to nearby territory.

First is to use good supply!! Hotkey S Then use HQ if you have any and make sure that your HQ have good supply, 6 or more. Some underserved units need some turns to recover. But these units needs best conditions that are available and strength 10 or more of course. Avoid bad terrain like mountains or hills except there is a street. Especially for attack mountains are useless. But remember for defense mountains are good. Best is fortress on a mountain with friendly streets and full HQ like Gibraltar. Always use Hotkey S again and you will getting used to it.

Big Final Overview: The matches are at turn 80 respectively 90. Steelman seems to make a good job so far. All in all an arm wrestle but still too close to call. All players are still strong. Seems to be the right players in the Final. Maybe we getting some pics later.

Tournament News: Semi Final Fritz vs. Steelman32 Steelman is kicking my $%$#... If your other games are finished, I am happy to surrender. It is the summer of 42 and my Russians are getting crushed, he has taken Stalingrad and Moscow and I am on the run. In my Axis game my Germans are still driving on Moscow, and have suffered a humiliating winter counterattack losing the entire Romanian army and supporting units. So I think it is safe to say he will win..I think my Axis have an MPP advantage, but I do not think it will be enough to turn things around quickly, and when/if I do, it will take far longer to win. His Axis should definitely win. The only place I am doing better is with China, but that is a minor theatre, and he has finally broken through the mountains so it is only a matter of time now… So, congrat to Steelman who entering the Final now.

I played Isnogud and Clausewitz. Seems to be the best players indeed. I need a new challenge...

Tournament News: Semi Final Fritz vs. Steelman32 We are in May of 42, still fairly close I think. Steelman as Axis has invaded Russia early with a lot of Panzers, and taken Egypt, his Japanese have taken the south of China, but just now attacking in the north. We had a pitched battle for Norway which he won, costing him time and MPP, but inflicting a defeat on the brits, and sinking a CV in the process. My Brits hold Sudan and Ethiopia. My Axis are poised to invade Russia , and have taken Alexandria, but still fighting in Egypt (I delayed to keep US/USSR activation low). But my Italians have taken the Sudan. My Axis are fighting a little in Norway, but nothing like the other game. He just holds one town with a corps (my brits landed an entire invasion force, which was lost after heavy fighting). My Germans are a bit weaker because they spent diplo MPP on Spain, who has entered on their side, so the Med will be mine once I take Gibraltar. So, still close. Not sure who holds the edge…we’ve been a bit slow but are picking up…

Just hinder any land unit on debarking that Island.

I only want to remind that balancing is important. Never mind on Kunming. I also think that too many units fighting in Asia. Historically there was lower action here and fewer units in number of soldiers compare to Europe.
