Combined American and British forces were rewarded with a heroic victory today as they successfully took control of an important rail line. Though destroyed the line will be invaluable in supplying the front once repaired. The offensive initially looked to be at a stalemate before the Allies were pushed severely onto the backfoot as the American HQ in the sector was taken out by a crack team of Panzergays.
However the day was far from over and while the American General, Terry Pie, had but two squads of elite rangers at his disposal he used them to devastating effect. Harrassing the Germans through a gap in their lines the squads proved to be a thorn in the side of German forces, hamstringing their ability to deal with the dug in British troops on the eastern flank. With the American HQ repaired by British forces Terry Pie was once again able to call on more support from command.
More rangers were called upon to aid in the offensive and led now by one squad boasting heavy veterancy, were able to push up and retake the western flank. Meanwhile the Panzer Elite forces had suffered a string of bitter defeats during their attempts to defend the central section of the battlefield as well as assault the eastern flank of the field. Consequently they now posed little threat to the Allied forces.
British troops were able to dig in to prevent an assault through the western flank to the American HQ and provide a defensive line for the Americans to fall back on. The Allies managed to hold on and turned what was to be a crushing defeat into one of the most memorable victories of the war; the day including everything from Terry Pie ordering artillery to shell his own HQ, to an elite squad of rangers boasting 39 infantry, two light vehicle, three heavy vehicle [including two tiger tanks] and one building kill.

If you want to see the replay, ask and I shall send. The artillery on the base was HILARIOUS especially because it was followed by me lulz killing his first tiger. My base was destroyed by a panzergay rush that picked up all my dropped bazookas, which was also pretty funny, especially when I just had my two squads of rangers and a squad of roflmen left. I was 0.2 seconds off breaking the fourty kill mark with them too; but we won D: Considering scores were 83 to greater than 450, I think it was an awesome victory. One epic comeback to rival that when Paks and I turned the tide of a battle against Papasahdes and Hooch in a 2v2 on Wolfheze.
