Battle of Moscow 🎖️ Invitational tournament
Hello KARDS players!
It's time for another commemorative event, this time remembering the Battle of Moscow.
[h2]Historical background[/h2]
Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion plan for the Soviet Union, called for Moscow's capture within four months. Having gained significant ground since their invasion on the 22nd of June in 1941, the Germans found themselves close to accomplishing their goal of capturing Moscow when they secured Smolensk, an important stronghold on the way to Moscow. The Germans, however, could not advance further due to the risk of exposing their flanks, so they turned their attention to Leningrad and Kiev. When the advance on Moscow resumed on the 30th of September 1941, the German forces were weakened, and the Soviets had reinforced the city. This was the beginning of the end for the hopes of a German victory in the USSR.
[h2]New tournament format: King of the Hill[/h2]
To commemorate the Battle of Moscow's incredible events, we will be hosting an invitational tournament with a brand new format: King of the Hill!
In this tournament, 8 invited players will compete against each other to find out who is the true king of the Soviets in Kards.
Each player can bring two different Mono-Soviet decks (only including Soviet cards) and an unlimited amount of additional decks, provided they only contain cards from a single nation that isn't the Soviet Union.
At the beginning of the tournament, players draw a number from 1-8.
Player number 1 starts the tournament as the king of the hill, having to defend it using one of their two Soviet decks against the challengers, players 2-8, that can field any non-Soviet deck in a bid to defeat the king and claim the hill as their own.
At the end of play, the player with the most successful defenses of the hill will be crowned winner and undisputed Soviet champion.
