Good Job Allies!

[Odee]

  To the Allies on the good job taking 78 back from the Axis horde.  This was the first time I seen Allies have numbers on Axis and it was a telling blow once we got organized.

Thanks goes to:
Zeiss, Soda72, Flatiron, TheBug, Arlo (Guthrie) Drake, CatsEys, and many more who's names I forget.

Thanks too to, Greyga, BCAdoo Grits, and others who helped with the deflowering of that other Axis base... A77. 

LW put up an excellent deffence, at both bases, and deserve a "Well done!"

Where have you been for the last month?

[Odee]

Where have you been for the last month?

pining for my squad to enter the AvA and work... Training...  Real life chit. 

[Arlo]

Where have you been for the last month?

Spelled "week." Not to be corn-fused with "weak."

I would like to nominate Arlo for the most convient disco award, disco'ing while in his b17 60 seconds before hitting his main target..

The gremlins of WW2 have hounded a certain pilot in the AvA so much lately, that HQ deems a special ribbon be awarded said pilot. However, HQ had so much trouble deciding on a single award, that they came up with two, for variety sake...

Ghost Ducky: Awarded for mysterious disapperances at critical times in combat.


Sitting Duck:
Awarded to the pilot that, despite overwhelming odds and in the face om certain death, presses on to successfully hit their target.  (Can be used in lieu of the GD ribbon.

Heh ... I keyed the mike to sound all sorts of leadership qualified by directing how I wanted the groups to approach target and the whole world came to a stop (my screen freezes up on vox disco). It probably saved me the additional embarrassment of having an even larger group watch me bomb the trees to death a thousand yards beyond the field ... again..

That was one of the new secret axis super weapons we were testing it out yesterday.

Well, if we are going to honestly critique our performance at A77, I would attribute our failure not to the Axis defense but to the cluster **** it was in terms of our organization. I am not assigning any blame, pointing any fingers, or claiming I could have done it better, just making an observation. This is not to say the Axis can not defend well, they can, but in this particular instance it was not the deciding factor IMO.

spot on!!! at one point you guys were within two troops of a take.  quick action on the part of 10thMD and other elements of JG11 and the prompt response (read as mass augerings) on the part of JG54 turned back the tide.

you fellows need to polish you act a bit.  you may want to get vultching lessons from 1hunglo, he may not be good at much but he can vultch well.

Agreed.

[Grits]

You know, its one of those things that happens some times no matter how well an operation is planned, it just cant be avoided occasionally. We would get close with troops and nobody was OTW with more. Then, too many would up with troops and we would lose CAP and the goons got killed. Town buildings would start popping and the whole cycle would start over. Our next IB wave of people always had the aircraft we needed in the last phase and werent needed in the current phase. We just need to polish it up a bit.

Let's not demean a positive thing, please...

At the time we were attacking A77, the Axis was out numbered.  This is why I say "Excellent Defense" of it... by two and then three Axis players.

Could we have taken it sooner?  Sure, and for the reasons you slapped the Allies in the face with.  And all the hype (my own included) about the Allies "Getting it together" is as effective as spitting in a hurricane.  Most Squads already know the Allies need to work together.  Gaidin managed to gather up a core group of us and we created mayhem.  But the 8 out of the 24 Allies on at the time could not do it without the other 16 helping out.  Getting those other 16 to cooperate was  eventually done by screaming on country, "HUGE furball at P107"!  My head spun at how fast the Allied numbers grew at that one fight after announcing it.

I am rambling now, but at least my bp is back in control.
