Was using my M2 Med while waiting for the battle my main light was in to end. Ended up in a match with 4 heavies on each team, managed to get the drop on one of theirs while it was dueling with one of our Lees. I put three AP shells into its rear armor at a 90 degree angle from less than 10 meters away. All of them pinged, and one of their Panzer IVs painted me for arty, so that ended mighty fast.

Unfortunate matchmaking, or a sign that I need to stop pursuing U.S. mediums?

unfortunate matchmaking, m2 is a pretty low level tank. But you could have scraped their paint with HE rounds, or dented them a bit if you found the heavies sweet spot.

I died making myself a sandwich. Then a witch took most of my money.

I really should get a wife for this, if it weren't for the unfortunate implications.

Me: "WE ARE MANY! YOU ARE ONE! We will destroy you!"
Friend: "Oh yeah, come on, I'm the Life Eraser!"

Cue an extremely long fight ending with me getting burned to death by a certain Ninja wearing yellow/orange.

This sounds familiar... game?

Also, losing about half a fortress to a badly thought out magma system for my forges (which decided to fill my fortress in from the point of entry downward) and the other half to a badly timed siege force combined with tantrum spirals afterwards. I had high hopes for this fortress too.

I got knocked out in the fight before, so i lost my horse and my sword, so when i go to attack the Bandits again, well...

There's 8 Bandits, they're on Horses and have melee and ranged weapons, i just have a crossbow and i'm on foot. And i'm level 1 (this is a new character). Things went downhill pretty quickly.

On the plus side, it's pretty cool that you look where you head's facing when you're in First Person view, including when you get knocked out, a la Far Cry: Instincts.

I got impaled by about 16 harpoons while testing my new level.

Note to self: 16 harpoons are not fair.

Ohhh boy, Praven's under siege by like 500 Nords, and since i'm just gonna start a new char to try and do things better i thought i'd at least have one final battle. So i took my 23 soldiers, charged the sieging army, and promptly got SHOT IN THE FACE WITH AN ARROW FROM CLEAR ACROSS THE MAP.

Massed some archers to hold a few infantrymen at a bridge. Did not see the cavalry crossing downriver, riding up hill, and then riding downhill behind me. Mount and Blade, Native Expanded.

Two officers shot down in quick succession meant that my meatshields, medic and Bazooka troopers really didn't want to stick around any more. Still, I had a trench full of infantry killers, along with a gunner in a bunker and they weren't too sissy. Then the Anti-Infantry tank comes in, guns down the gunner in the bunker with his coaxial MG and blows my trench into small pieces. All I have left is a French Resistance fighter who's too scared to run away, and no Points to order anything except more Frenchies, which I do. They survive maybe 10 seconds each against the Tank, and I quickly have no one left on the field, meaning I lose the game.

Mud and Blood 2. I'd taken down a Mobile Artillery blitz (With no help from the signaller, he was terrible.) and a Wehrmacht Blitz before this happened.

Snipers? They tend to go for officers first.

Also, if you need to call support fast, build an antenna. They really speed up comms, even with an inexperienced signaller.

I don't think it was snipers, I think it was just some insane luck. And I was kinda sending them out for crates to get their Experience up.

I build an antenna before I order a Signaller, they're vital early on. I'd even built up his exp with Sitreps. Still took him a while to call the CAS.

'Course, when he finally called it, it didn't do anything. Completely missed the Nebelwerfer and PAK that were left after the All round defence and Concentrate Fire orders. They eventually were taken down by massed gunfire after a near miss on my secondary trench that killed my worst soldier.
