1v1 game against Cranialwizard on the new map Egletons.
I wanna post this game because I think it's a very funny and close game...SAS, Tigers, Panthers, Churchills and whatever you want from these two factions.  :D

I hope you appreciate this game. :)

Yes, this match was very close and when some of my vehicles hit the ground it was bad micro on my part. (You can probably guess the winner but I won't spoil it)

I don't think someone whom watches it will be disappointed!

Cool game, I've never seen an RMC replay before so I didn't have much of an idea which multiplayer tactics people used, it was interesting to see the synergy between the Achilles and the Churchills. Didn't realise the Achilles was that effective at killing Panthers and Tigers with its AP rounds.

Those AP rounds were really hurting me, if I had a bit more micro and used my shrecks better I probably would have been able to deal with them easier. A Pak wouldn't hurt either.

Though his ARVE was wiping my shrecks off the map.

Honestly this was my second game with RMC, and I wasn't totally "prepared" for a real challenge.

Against vetted Grenadiers I thought about a good infantry so I've called SAS glider for deploy Raiders and Daimler Scout Car (it's a very very light veichles so useless vs PzShrek, just only good for disturbing cap).

I've chose Churchill because I thought that accumulate 125 fuel for depoly Tanks HQ truck  was too expensive so I've chose Infantry HQ so:

Churchills + SAS = Anti-infantry
M10 Achilles = Anti-tank

But in the end, the unit that has allowed me to have the sprint for the victory was AVRE, who kills Grenadiers squad.  :)

Anyway GG!  ;)

You guys should think about submitting this for the 1.40 shoutcasting. It's quite short but it shows off the strengths of the RMC and is a close, entertaining game.

RSE works much better with RMC than vBrits. The churchill/achilles combo was very effective. Interesting game but some bad mistakes made at some points like the MG at the start.

Just a side note moonwalker, multiple sappers don't speed up repair or building for Brits. Even just 1 sapper man will repair/build at the same rate as infinite full squads. They're different to the other factions in this regard.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

I enjoyed watching the game. Nice to see Churchills in action (the second AVRE was amazing - I'm surprised it managed to blow up two full pretty healthy gren squads).

@GodlikeDennis - That's interesting about the sappers. Is there any particular design/balance reason for this do you know?

I know that about buildings and emplacements but I always thought that the repairs works like other fatcions.

Thanks for the info. ;)

I'm guessing relic put it in because they expected Brits to be constructing things under fire a lot because of their mobile FHQs.

Yea, I had a few fatal errors, had I been more careful with my 2 Panthers and Tiger on the field it may have won me the game, but I rushed them in because of the fear I would lose the field, and my shrecked grens were not prepared for such a rush. I really needed some artillery too.

P.S God damn 503's don't allow me to quote correctly, when will people just stop updating?!

Just watched the game.  IMO APC rounds or not, the Achilles should not be killing panthers from the front in a slugfest.  The damage it did to tanks was just ridiculous.

Other than that, Colonel just screwed up.  :P  No med bunker, bad MG micro, and using fausts.
