MAIN EVENT VI! Red Devil vs. [hirr]Leto
02-27-2010, 02:48 AM, (This post was last modified: 03-01-2010, 01:13 PM by Der Kuenstler.)
THE BATTLE'S END...
Here's how the final melee in Leto's setup town played out. Red Devil's second Stewart composes itself and gets a side kill on one of Leto's advancing Panzers....

But the British excitement is shortlived - the Stuart is hit from behind by the pesky Panzer IIIJ(Late) up in the cliffs. At the exact same time, Leto's lead Marder sneaks through the palms and gets RD's rear Stuart.

Now there is no British armour left in town - only one Grant is left on the outskirts. This Grant has been mostly area firing the town in support of his mates. Now he's in the middle of a hornet's nest of Krupp steel. In his last moment of glory, the Grant destroys an advancing Panzer.

But there is too much German armour shooting from too many angles. He turns his turret to try to get the IIIJ on the cliff, and while doing so gets drilled by a Marder in town.

Randy's Engineer platoon does eventually reach the hulldown IIIJ they were going for, although late, but in doing so they tire themselves out. They then come under fire from some Marders and infantry, pinning them. None of them are in any shape to threaten the Panzer.

Up at the Western flag at the Oasis, however, the British continue to defy the Germans. Here British Lt Beale gets his men to immobilize and eventually kill another Panzer...

In one of Leto's final moves (more reminiscent of behavior on the Russian front I'd say) he orders his IIIJ(Late) up in the cliffs to roll right over Red Devil's struggling engineer platoon, grinding them into the burning desert rock in what looks like a final act of CM domination....if you look closely, a British soldier can be seen trying to pull his foot out from under the treads...

The battle lasted 37 total minutes before ending - Randy's final in-game comment was: "I'm thinking that's the end." Pete said: "Yer right. Fini. Thanks for the game and thanks to DerK for doing the DAR. Can’t wait to read it. Cheers!"

Here is the final results screen....

Thanks to Pete and Randy for making this the most viewed Main Event of all time!

As the readers have noticed I have removed all comments regarding the time it took to finish this battle, including my own, out of fairness to the players, because I did not specify any time limit at the beginning. We would enjoy reading any comments the players or readers may have...
