Here is the epitome of Marvin ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4P3pvKmbsg ... still makes me laugh after many (20 ish) years. Never got into the modern remakes - call me a grumpy old man!hidde wrote:I doubt anyone is interested but I and CharleyG will have a game of Race for the Town.
If it's the final or not I'm not sure but it's a fun map to play
Cheers
Not sure there will be a final after all. CharlyG told me he would pick up my challenge at the beginning of last week but he never did.Crestone wrote:Say, CharlyG and Hidde, how about some dispatches from the front lines for those of us who fell along the way?
Good luck to both of you !
Now the challenge has disappeared...

Slowly we're approaching the end...and what a fight it has been, and still is
Flags are 6 for me, 3 for CharlyG. Casualties 21 vs 26 (I think).
Sounds good for the Allies, right? Well, not quite since one flag is really just temporary
and the Axis have all their Panthers intact (and leveled up with extra shots and whatnot).
With five turns left they still have time to move and take the necessary flag or two.
I don't have much in the way to stop them...

Hidde and I have just finished "Race for the Town", and it was a minor victory for the Axis.
Flags: Axis 5 - Allied 4
Kills: Axis 35 - Allied 33
Losses: Axis 33 - Allied 35
This victory was difficult to get. Hidde was a very tough opponent and each side has well fought during all the game. Flags for victory have often changed when we're approaching the end.
It was a great battle. Thanks to Hidde for this nice fight.

You're quite rightPirateJock wrote:Thanks for update ... and congratulations to CharlyG. Sounds a close run thing though.

Just to give you an idea how close it was I can tell you that when I ended my last turn there were 5 Allied flags.
The one contested flag was taken by CharlyG on his last turn. The very last of the game. The last thing to happen in the game was a Panther
getting destroyed. If I had had a turn after that I would have been able to take the flag back
Now, I doubt he would have put the Panther in jeopardy if that had been the case but even so I would have had a chance to take the flag, given one more turn.
Very exciting game against a wily and hard fighting opponent!
