Hey everyone, I just have a real quick post for now. There are a lot of interesting games going on around the site, but I'd like to draw some attention to a few particularly enticing ones.
Comeback Complete:
League: benbever (Sasha) vs. fdkanns (Sasha) on Caustic Finale
Benbever had a definite advantage early on in the game, but within the last couple turns fdkanns has made a major comeback and looks to have the victory pretty much wrapped up. Definitely a replay worth looking at.
Upsets in the Making:
League: fdkanns (Jake) vs. Roswell (Rachel) on Scorpion Operation
While fdkanns (Rank #1) pulled a nice comeback in his game with ben, he's going to need an even stronger effort if he wants to prevail over Roswell (Rank #7). The game will likely be decided after the two trade SCOPs, but I'd put my money on Roswell for the upset at this point.
League: excrimophalus (Olaf) vs. black_wave (Max) on nb4DS
It might not appear to be an upset per se (excrimo is ranked #60 and black_wave is ranked #14), but excrimo is widely considered one of the top players on the site. Though excrimo has a small funds advantage, black_wave appears to have the clear upper hand in unit (and vehicle) count and positioning. This game is not over yet by a long shot, but the upset is there for black_wave's taking.
League: Black Mont-Blanc (Sasha) vs. black_wave (Max) on Bible Black
Black_wave is playing the spoiler again in this game, looking to upset another of AWBW's top players, Black Mont-Blanc (rank #23). The situation looks pretty bleak for BMB, who will need a heroic effort (and likely a bit of help from black_wave) to be able to maintain his lone base.
Other Interesting Games:
League: Black Mont-Blanc (Jake) vs. ANT13 (Sonja) on Scorpion Operation
This is a pretty closely-matched game at the moment, though BMB does have a small funding and unit count advantage over ANT13. BMB will likely continue to slowly advance and try to back ANT13 down, so the game will hinge on how effectively ANT13 can prevent the push. Definitely a game to watch.
League: Ultra Storm (Adder) vs. Roswell (Adder) on A Questionable Strategy
Roswell is fighting an uphill battle in this game against #6-ranked Ultra Storm. He's not quite out of it yet, but it will require a massive effort to make any sort of comeback attempt on US. The game looks to be transitioning into a naval battle, which could be quite interesting to watch develop.

In other news, Colosseum Season 6 signups are still open for another week. The signups for the November Cup are also open until October 31st. So if you want to join either of these competitions, you still have time!
See ya,
