I'm too lazy to make a gif of the Panther they lost in the village.

I'm good to go on, good to stop. Granted, considering our map position, force composition, lack of players and potential enemy units, I'd rather just end this round.

Looks like this is it, then. Good game all, see you in the observer thread.

Sigh. I wish we could at least kill the loving Panther. Oh well.

It's pretty symbolic of how this round fell apart that none of the northern IS-2 commanders were still playing. No one can expect dublish to do fine placement for three tanks on top of all his other inherited tasks.

Oh I see! This must be the Bad Opinion Zone!
Sorry guys. No ill feelings, I hope.

EDIT: ^^^ Well, I don't think it's symbolic. The attrition of commanders in the north, I think, explains substantially the lack of direction we had there, which led eventually to, well... last turn. I guess I'll explain more of how I think things went wrong in the observer thread if I have more time later.

The number of players dropping out caused our northern force to stall out. We wanted Austrian School too much to either realise that they were using it to spot all our "hidden tanks" in the tree line or that the force stopped for so long it effectively became one giant shooting gallery.

I expect I could have done better, but yeah. I signed up for an infantry platoon.

Man, the guts got ripped out of the north and Leeroy tank sealed the deal. I'm inclined to call it.

Yeah, none of this back and forth love notes poo poo. It was brutally unfunny last time.

Anyway, I'm good to go on, but I also have no interest in running the game with the presaged four people.

Hey 4th SMG is still here...all of us who are still alive, that is. (RIP Willie)

Yeah, you guys did great, and hung in against ambushes and heavy opposition. Cheers.

Thanks to everyone who stuck around, in fact.

Ah well. Good game to the Germans.

We should have all our remaining forces just charge and see what happens.

Hahaha, holy poo poo, the level of fine control the Germans executed.

Though a lot of it is "here is an in-game zoomed view. Do this." Subordinates: "Exactly this."

And hey, Grey would have let us split teams, apparently.

Yeah, the planning and pre-turn simulation of that last Panther attack is kinda nuts.

Same here. I hate to say poo poo happens but it seems the most appropriate phrase.

Depending on how Grey calculates the points next match (if there is one) a suicide charge might hurt the next people up, but otherwise, well.

Are you happy now?
My vote: One last suicidal CHARGE by everything. Game ends after that 2 minutes. We'll probably have people in the objective zone (just) but it will be a German win probably. Uraah!

YES do this please.


I'd like Grey to save the game first and show us the casualties as they are now though. Then he reloads the game and BANZAAAAIIIII

Agreed. I'd like to see the current KIA/WIA victory screen. Then we can have our mad dash.
