    so, how is the new patch?

    I haven't seen the new strafing run in action yet.

    And I got PE 6 times in a row when doing random 2v2s today.

    So it must have changed quite a bit!

    All of the map changes are pretty cool. Relic Online seemed to be buckling under the pressure the other day however. All of 7 3v3 and 4v4 games ended with everyone dropping from the game at the beginning or somewhere in the middle. 2v2s and 1v1s have been working near flawlessly on my end though.

    what's the name of scarab's map? I have an opportunity to judge some of the map contest entries, but I can't find his in the batch?

    Rhiems.
    Might be Rheims.

    I'm not sure if he submitted it, he was having trouble accessing/editing it.

    Yeah I got sidetracked by real life and missed the deadline.

    C'est la vie I guess. I wasn't too bothered. I'll release it to the community eventually when I haven't got stacks of work to do but it wont be in the map making contest. A shame, I thought I had a real chance looking at the rest of the entries. Regardless, with real life and this stupid 1v1 tournament I'm all Company of Heroes'd out for now.:lol:

    Wow, I never realised how well Tommy sections mop the floor with panzergrenadiers early game. I have now seen greater things, Kinder'. Also I can't remember the last time I built a trench. Also, Bren Carriers are lethal against ~75% of the Panzer Elite armoury.

    I might be truly insane and actually get 2 Bren Carriers on the field at the same time next game. I know, I'm mad.

    Some minor googling suggests that you bring down the console (ctrl+shift+tilde?) and type the following:

    Taskbar_hide
    Message_hide

    and

    Taskbar_show
    Message_show

    to bring them back.

    The most important game is between Steel-Angel and me so everyone knows who will be the eventual winner.

    Not nearly enough trash talk lately.

    Only when you handicap them with one type of weapon. Riflemen on the other hand are diverse and good against everything.

    Well, the only thing you should probably ever upgrade grenadiers with is a panzerschreck and you only need a couple squads with them.

    Even unupgraded, at vet 3, grenadiers shoot pin-point accurate lasers that slice riflemen to ribbons.

    Lyon was a test of wills, and I cracked first to make a last desperate attack. Steel-Angel's strategy of food and bathroom breaks prevailed.

    Now I'm going to go give my wife some attention.

    I should've gone Royal Canadian Artillery, especially since I started in the south. But I still had visions of a quick strike. That failed when I accidentally retreated to base instead of captain, but I'm sure it would've failed anyway.

    Commandos would've been absolutely retarded after the stalemate began.

    Eight 25-pounders would've been nice, but I'd still have to go across the bridge and find his other buildings.

    Yeah my advice to the two on the other tier is set up some good defenses, keep a casual eye on things to repair and reinforce, then relax with a magazine. Or play windowed and do something on the Internet.

    Or you could be cool and have an agreement to keep both bridges open.
