180g vs 280a, VL smack in the middle of the field of NJ North Bridge. I took 2 magnificent JTs, an MG, 4 schrecks and inf. F8II took 3 FFs, 3 mortars and heavy inf. Things were going pretty much my way- mortars were ineffective at long range, and soon were all used up. I stayed hidden while F8 grabbed the VL with a assault squad sneak. Then I slowly wrenched it away from him. The big cats are no easier to drive than theyve ever been- i forget from time to time and take one or two. F8 played it expertly, waiting in the trees for his shots. I lost a JT early, then got a FF with the other. The game settled down at that point, with me waiting behind the road, down to AP, and inf battling it out for the VL, with some support from the flies. Id move up and chase them off, but couldnt manage to kill them. There was all manner of inf. fighting in this game, including a suppressed assault team surrendering to my rushing sniper, and all kinds of other good stuff, MG took out two empty half tracks. I managed to kill every single one of his inf, leaving me with one reluctant schreck, and 3 single aufks. Got close shots on the flies with schreck and faust, but no luck. Came down to me asking the big cat to sit, and we all know cats dont like to sit still. Missed several partial shots on the flies, but was eventually taken out turning in a glorious spiraling dance of death. F8II had played the cat and mouse game well, biding his time til the bitter end. Was a near run thing and could have gone either way, but F8 ruled the field at sunset. Good game! I think my first against this tough player. Looking forward to another.
