Company of Heroes

Here's the situation. You botched your opening horribly (oh sweet baby jesus it was bad). Temporary successes with a t2 push to cut off enemy resources are met with a croc, resulting in the loss of half your infantry and all your panzershreks. You have half the map still under your control, but no AT to stop allied armor. You have 2 volk squads, 1 gren squad, 1 HT, and are still at tier 2. What do you do?



Review if you have the time, or not, whatever...

OMG a crocodile just killed 3 squads of grens in green cover... but anyway axis are overpowered isn't it Bent?

Spoilers below***********************************
















After finishing the game I was convinced that I just lucked out. That the allied player had played the game miserably and probably floated tons of fuel and manpower while letting me take back the map.

Watching the replay from the allied players perspective I was shocked. My play after the absolute disaster with the croc was imo fucking brilliant. I mean, from my perspective while I was actually playing everything I did since then were desperation moves. The quick infantry assaults focusing on rapid decaping, the frequent registered artillery hits on his infantry, these were all moves of absolute desperation. Trying to stall for time as long as possible while I figured out some way to kill off his massive tank force. After watching the subsequent fights from the allied perspective I came away with the feeling that I'm a fucking magician. Not once by twice ASSLOADS of axis infantry appeared out of nowhere, capped tons of terratory (cutting off allied supplies to an extent I never even considered while playing), and then disappearing by the time the allied tank force showed up.

What seemed to me desperation tactics made me look like fucking huodini when watched from the allied perspective. Case in point: I actually delayed another sherman coming out for something like 3 minutes BECAUSE THE ALLIED PLAYER HAD FILLED HIS POPCAP. I swear to god it was like all my guys got replaced by fuckin ninja's.

Once I got my forces in position again it was just brutal. My 88's had such large cones of fire allied tanks would spawn and then get shot immediately. And when there were actual tank battles the 88's dominated the battlefield. My respect for them went through the damn roof (until once again one of them shot another.. something that happens almost every time I use them)

lol what the hell Ill watch it

bent just a quick question. do you touch your pee pee when you watch your replays of you winning? i've never seen someone have such a "look at me and how great i am" syndrome in many years of gaming. this will be my last flame in your direction, but seriously man - look in the mirror and re-evaIuate your self-worth k?

That first reg arty was the unluckiest one I've ever seen. The third wasn't much better... GJ on the comeback

So did you completely miss the part of my post where I initially was under the impression that my play sucked and I simply got lucky?

I was still working under said impression when I posted this, not really as bragging rights but more poking fun at myself even though I made the comment.

I still consider my play here to be abysmal. I started the game in the absolute worst possible way. The gist of my 2nd post was that I was amazed at how hard I made it for the allied player. The entire posting is made from the allied players perspective, not mine.

Also, since you seem to misunderstand my motives here. I'm arrogent, I'm a jackass, and have a decently sized ego. That does not mean however that I'm not self-critical and don't admit when I make extremely bad mistakes. I don't post here to flout it, If I did I'd simply record and post the relatively large amounts of games that I completely dominate from beginning to end.

Case in point, I have a 2v2 recorded dubbed "flawless", where my ally and I dismember two supposedly good axis players (according to their stats anyway) on lorraine in an insane manner, basically inflicting near 100% casualties on them without suffering anything and taking the entirety of the map within the 8 minutes. I recorded it because it's a textbook opening for allied, containing perfect flanking manuevars, excellent co-ordination, etc. But I have no intention of posting it, partly because of bonehead people such as yourself critizing it (an annoyance I'd prefer to do without), and because it isn't very entertaining.

The games I do post are the entertaining ones, I certainly consider this game to be entertaining. The team match I just posted i consider to be entertaining. I'll frequently tell people I play and lose to to post the game if it's good enough (ask heroic, the silver replay between us was one such game, the game with razor was yet another one). It's not about stroking my ego so much as it is about providing entertainment. Compliments are appreciated sure, anybody who says they don't like being complimented is lying, but thats not why I post.

In conclusion, stfu. I've dealt with people bitching when I post wins in the past, and beyond the small annoyance and my tendency to fire back insults I don't really give a shit. Oh no! Bentguru wins! I must take this as an assault on my manhood!! <----- Thats what I see as your motive behind posting. Honestly what the fuck do you care? Is your life so dependent on this forum that you feel the need to police it? You're neither a mod, anybody of importance here, or somebody who has earned my respect, so forgive me when I decide that your opinions might as well be that of a retarded monkey for all the actual impact they make. The idea that you could in any way affect my self-worth (which is nice and healthy btw) is laughable. Go scurry back down your hole, go through with your intention of never flaming me again. Dealing with morons is not my favorite past time.

Probably the funniest post ive seen yet
Stop flaming it's not the coolest thing in the world.
Back on subject I can only imagine what you did, I'm going to bed but be sure that I'll be on here tomorrow to figure out this ninja strat in action I guess good job on the comeback even though I haven't seen it yet. If I get feedback on my application review I'll do this one after that. Your games are entertaining btw don't listen to anyone else.
