Last night was one of my better nights for gaming..
Logged onto WWIIOL at about 8:30 EST and found a battle pretty fast. Actually, there was no battle.
I was a lone soldier walking through a cornfield. Suddenly in the distance, I could hear a vehicle approaching. I went prone and readied my weapon. After several tense moments, some type of open topped armored car rolled up. I was not detected yet.
I belly crawled closer, and drew a grenade. Pulling the pin, I lobbed it at the truck, only to have it explode, not far from it. The vehicle gunner, stunned by the explosion, gathered himself quickly and started panning, looking for me. I lobbed a second grenade, and missed again. Now the vehicle went on the move, driving toward the cornfield, seeking me out. He passed within 1 meter of where I lay. Having no shot, I did not fire and give up my position. He drove off, leaving a stalmate.
The second mission, I was riding in a 251 with 3 other soldiers. As we neared the front, and explosion threw me out of the truck. I survived along with one other guy. I quickly ran to a hedgerow and hid the best I could. After a few minutes, 2 british soldiers came toward the wreckage. I squeezed off a few rounds from my concealed position and killed them both.
Having had my fill of ground warfare, I switched over the AH where the MAW organized a B-17 raid. We destroyed the FH's at 74 and 75 in a single pass, leaving on FH up at 74 for the furballers.
All in all, a great night of gaming.
