Wellsonian V MG..MG's revenge (official smack talk thread)

[Meat Grinder]

As some of you may know, @Wellsonian won our recent ladder game, and I'm not a fan of losing.

@Wellsonian 's victory was, without doubt, an outlier, a fluke, and/or a freak of the normal order of things. Nature has a tendency to remain in balance, so I challenged him to a follow up match. He accepted, and what's more, invited me to pick the parameters!

This will be a CMFB mirror match. Yanks attack on map 041a2.



"House Rules" will be as follows:

No pre-planned arty/air support (not even with a delay) for the defender (Germans). No mines.

​

 

[Wellsonian]

Accepted. Now, the hardest part will be.....Greatcoats? Or no Greatcoats. Always the key decision.....

 

[Meat Grinder]

Oh, it's on!!!!

 

[Badger73]

Accepted. Now, the hardest part will be.....Greatcoats? Or no Greatcoats. Always the key decision.....

In January '45 one should take along the Greatcoats. Recollections of Ostfront '42 leads me to think it might be . . . prudent.
Don't think that @Meat Grinder's GI's won't know the difference between cold and Bastogne cold. Check out 1:10

 

[Meat Grinder]

Well done, @Badger73 .

 

[Meat Grinder]

Despite @Badger73 's attempts at making this a "Marquess of Queensberry" affair, I suspect @Wellsonian and I feel a sort of "primal" bond, to make this rather bloody.

Borrowing from our last game....

 

[Wellsonian]

I'll see your Brad Pitt, and raise you a...um, Brad Pitt!

That last stretch of open ground before the main objective is murder. I know from my game against @Will S. Blood it is!

 

[Meat Grinder]

Ah, so you've played this map before, eh?

 

[Wellsonian]

Ah, so you've played this map before, eh?

Yep.....it's a good one.

 

[Wellsonian]

This game is so realistic it is crazy! I hand @Meat Grinder his ass, and he gets promoted to Captain. Exactly the Army I remember!

 

[Meat Grinder]

As you were......Sergeant. ;-)

 

[Badger73]

This game is so realistic it is crazy! I hand @Meat Grinder his ass, and he gets promoted to Captain. Exactly the Army I remember!

And . . . he has PCS orders for SHAPE with three years Joint Liaison traveling the capitals of Northern Europe. Gary Owen, sir!

 

[Meat Grinder]

When the chimes end, pick up your gun.

"Anyone don't want to get killed, better clear on out the back."

 

[Will S]

The old 041a2. Good map and very nice terrain for a mirrored match. I've defended twice on that one, once left hanging, and one victory. Be interesting to see how y'all both approach it.

On a different note, I am actually waiting on someone to create an entire thread devoted to showing MG's forces getting thrashed, if nothing more than to balance out his threads showing all of us getting it good. I know his troops die hard on occasion!

Unfortunately, a thread to which I would have very little to contribute . . . :shocknaz:
