A blog poll on something that includes the phrase “victory achieved”, you say.

Score 3 as another plausible headline, although the grammar and/or lack of punctuation seems a bit off. (Is it an encirclement type of victory, or an encirclement that led to a victory?)

‘Kevan’s Eighteenth Victory Achieved in Nomic’, with just a link to the relevant history wiki page, would have been a good selection for this, I think.

(For the two remaining players who have yet to post a backronym: the above statement does not represent a contract.)

Score 3. Reads weird, not a natural sentence. It’s a hard round though. Also, this is, what, #3 out of 7 that are WW2 or Cold War related? Someone could surely do something with the merger of KwaZulu with the Natal.

Score 4

This historic event illustrates the distinction between “no retreat” orders compared to the similarly intended “hold at all costs”. The former foolishly does not allow the formation in question to attack towards an enemy behind it.

Anyway, my token objection to the event itself doesn’t detract from the quality of the acronym, although being anchored on a proper noun does.

Score 2 okay news item but feels icky rewarding nazi stuff

Score 2, based off of Josh’s comment.

Score 4 - it is indeed a historical event, and it’s a decent enough acronym too

Anything that isn’t war related would be 4+. Gosh, darn; you all seems to kinda just remember wars (and cold wars). Score 1

Score 3. Pretty good, but doesn’t make a ton of sense grammatically.

This Backronym is now closed.

None of the words in the title of this Backronym included all the letters of any of the Buzzwords.
