i was wondering what general turner was doing though.. he had 4 t34's just sitting on the other side of the map for ages if he had send them over to help hes friend while he also had 3-4 t34's they could pretty much had clean sweeped you off them map i mean yea he did send them over but by then you had gotten some more paks o.O but gg!

Yea, good point. He could have played better and been more involved with his mate, but then again I felt as if I left Basilone hanging a time or two as well, and I was definitely slower than usual. I was also trying new strats out that night, and this was one of those experiments, which was costly, but still successful, to an extent.

I think we got lucky a few times, and just simply outfought them a few times. In my estimation the russians had every chance to seal the game, but were too hesitant to advance on us because they assumed we had stiffer defenses than we actually did, and when they did advance, as you pointed out, we just so happened to have shored up our defenses with an extra pak or two, as well as the pgren support, later the combined counter attack with my tiger and pgrens on the leftmost point by the bridge with basilone was a desperate last act to repel them, which was repeated several times. Beautiful hard fightin'.

Another notable time was when I carelessly probed the opposite flank away from the fighting and just happened to stumble into the sizable armoured column which I'm sure was staging for a mass attack to encircle our frontline units or rush out HQs, I guess this is when they were idle...this small probe spoiled what could have quite possibly been a game winning rush from our exposed flank.

Watching again, the game was plagued by mistakes, but what game isn't? There was some bursts of tactical brilliance, and some other times some tactical incompetence (mostly by me) mixed with good and bad micro throughout...but in the end it was a damn good game that pretty closely related the brutal eastern front that Relic was trying to portray. It went down to the wire, and basilone and myself aren't exactly slouches in the realm of COH and COH2...we went something like 7-0 that night as well and these guys put up a valiant effort. Was a GG for sure, filled with some unique moments.

This was a very good game. Losing a full health tiger and a brummbär in the ice is pretty hard to get over. :/ Hard fought win that came down to both sides under 50vps with fairly equal map control. Russians probably could have won this game a few times if they had been just a little more aggressive when we were actually much weaker than they thought we must have been.

I'm sure he'd enjoy a beer... although if I were a CM, I would also enjoy an ice cream cone... hell I want one now, brb.

For some reason, I'm craving bacon and ice cream. At dah same damn time.

There's just so many to choose from, and the answer year to year over the last 6 years has been different, as it is today. So...who knows. Sepha has always been the most popular, or at least one of the most popular...

Judging by leaderboards is inaccurate...as can be attested to by the fact that I am in the top 5 on new ladders. I was only lvl 14, 16 at best in old coh.
