Notes

Reading all the old posts on this blog is at once embarassing as well as illuminating. As usual all my predictions in regards to how certain things would affect the game were pretty much wrong.And some of the writing, well, lets just not mention it again ok?

A few notes of interest:

- I did finally achieve LT rank in the FAF, of course now that I have the rank I barely use it.

- CRS has decided to actually realistically model fuel levels for the Spit IX. This is something I discovered last night while loitering over Evere Airfield (Brussels), not exactly the best location for such a revelation.

- It's quite amazing how quickly you can begin to take something for granted. Can anyone remember what it was like to play without mobile spawning? It's only been in game for a month and it seems like it has been here forever. Either that or my mind is trying to block the memory of all those endless truck rides.

- The BEF's capture of Stekene last night was a bit unexpected to say the least. At one stage we had almost zero cutoff, they had several artillery pieces and tanks in and around town (including 4Gs)and our own armour was almost non-existant. Certain people were organising a huge para drop on town. Given the state of the battle a para drop at this time is the sign of the incompentently desperate. You just can't tell people that.
However we got a MSP up extremely close to town (thanks Bigass) and the paratroopers who had all just died began to spawn into it enmasse. A few minutes later KC23 reported we had a friendly tank in the AB.
Where the hell did it come from?
I personally was above the battlefield in aforementioned spit IX and was noticing that the LW had gone completely absent. I flew to both Brussels and Antwerp and couldn't russle up anything more than a Stuka.
It just goes to show that sometimes you can never tell whats going to happen. I would guess that a drop in Axis numbers combined with some sheer BEF pigheadness/fortutious placement of MSP turned a lost cause into a succesful capture.

Well I'm sure we'll have lost it by this afternoon.
