Granted, Toma was lucky Propaganda War didn't work on the left flank - but Aimstrong had strong aim (get it?! HAHAHAHA jesus I'm hilarious) with his 1/5th Pershing health rockets (aka; 'shrecks). Ridiculous accuracy in that regard - just bam, bam, bam, bam. Tom Cruise's character in Collateral would have been proud of their Mozambique drill-esque accuracy.
Not to mention, I didn't realize all you needed to defeat everything the Americans could ever throw at you were triple vetted Grenadiers with LMGs and Shrecks. It's always entertaining to see which direction luck will take a game, though. Especially between two ridiculously good players that are fairly evenly matched.
Finally, while the M8 was epic and went on a serial killer rampage (2x!) the survived Calliope barrage gets my wub. And a picture - just 'cause it's awesome.
I really do not understand why people neglect the second supply yard upgrade when they're floating so much fuel like Tomi was...
I'm willing to bet had he researched that upgrade he would have won by a mile with the increased MP income. It makes such a major difference overall, especially in a lengthy game such as this. With a decent size force you'll generally get an extra 30mp/minute. You should be able to get the upgrade around the 15-20 minute mark, leaving roughly 40 minutes which translates into an extra 1200 mp, give or take depending on the amount of units on the field.
Other than that, wubbed.
NOTE: I just noticed that he DID research the upgrade but a bit too late at around 56 minutes in...

Great replay! The only thing I would have done differently as American would have been the upgun for the Pershing. The first two tanks would have been far more effective. I like how he resisted temptation to throw nades/stickies and plant mines everywhere to save his munis for repairs. Well-planned, well-executed strat.
What's this I hear about supply yard upgrades helping with infantry vet? I thought it just decreased your upkeep 25% each upgrade.
