This was the most challenging match ive had in a long time, especially since it was my first game of the day and I was not "warmed up." I had a lot of fun playing it, and my tank traps in the south saved me the game (without them his calliope would have walked all over me, and I would not have been able to kill it with a stolen AT gun + panzershreks). I had assloads of fuel floating but did not have the manpower to start pumping out panzers/panthers, so I kept saving and eventually once I was winning again, I got a panther out and started killing off his 2 tanks (calliope + sherman). By that time he had 30 points left (SOMEHOW I had managed to keep the VPs away from him long enough to bleed him out) but I had so much fuel, I think I would have been able to win without the VP advantage. Anyway his basic strategy was riflespam -> calliopes (the bastard). I managed to fend off his many halftracks (the first time I saw a quad .50 halftrack was a real "oh shit moment", and when he managed to repair it to full health after i almost killed it 3 times...) and armored cars using panzershrek grens, a stolen AT gun, and very wisely placed registered artillery. It was a fun game, watch it!
