Best game I Soviets die a slow, heroic (IMO!) death: 48-0 VP

Sorry for the title. Should be: A furious war of attrition: Soviets lose their 400 point lead.

A 55 min game with a huge comeback by Germans. It went from 400 Soviet VP lead - to utter annihilation.

I was i.am.a.dunce. It was the landmark game where someone actually criticized my play which was truly enlightening. Made me learn to improve micro and create efficient(ish) combined arms. I had tons of idle units and silly losses. And manpower was impossible to deal with towards the end. Around 12k damage for me, 14k for one ally, <10 for others. I guess most of my damage came from the stubborn defence of mid VP and base. Enemy team was pretty good, damage was really high obviously. one guy had >30k. So we went for VP victory - again this made me realize the importance of early fuel points in retrospect.

All in all a fantastically intense and fun match! Now I see why COH (I never finished the campaign; only skirmished against AI) is famed for its multiplayer. My favourite points (but of course these were involving me, barely noticed allied movement) were the struggle for the middle VP starting around 30-40 mins, and final base defence a few mins later.

Reminds me a little of the Siege of Sevastopol.
