“Aw.” Griselda pouts a bit. “Well, try and have some fun then regardless, Ellie. I’ll be meeting with the NATO judges and the like.” She stands up, and starts walking away.

… god that bathing suit looks good on her.

“Hey, Ellie!” Your crew all come up to you, not wet just yet from the waters. Winona frowns at you. “Not joining us.”

I want to make sure our girls are hydrated and protected. Being burned and working inside a big old steel box is not a good time.

“Not until you put on some sunscreen and drink some water, you lot.” Winona groans like a child made to go to Church, same as Stack and Ingrid. Josephina however already had the presence of mind to actually put sunscreen on before going to the beach. “Come on, let’s do this. It won’t take long.” You pull sunscreen out of your bag.

“Look at them.” Winona kneels down in front of you, looking out to the ocean where the girls are all splashing around, riding the waves, having fun. “They’re all having fun.”

“Yeah, but they’ll regret it later if they don’t put on sunscreen,” you declare. “Now quit whining.” Winona frowns as you dab your hands with the cream, then start rubbing her back. “Yow! Cold, cold!”

Stack snickers. “Aw, don’t be a pussy! It’s just- AH!” Ingrid places her sunscreen splattered hands on Stack’s back. “Cold, cold!”

Ingrid snorts. “What were you saying?”

> + 5 MORALE TO INGRID

“Ah, screw you!” Stack pouts intensely, letting Ingrid rub her up with sunscreen.

“It’s not often we get to go to a real beach though,” says Josephina. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a beach like this up in Canada. It’s so lovely!”

“It’s the South,” says Stack. “Best place in the world.” Or so she says.

Winona pulls her sunglasses down, grinning. “Ohoho…” She points to the side, and you all turn your heads to see a load of trucks coming down the beach. And stepping out-

Ugh. BOYS. The Kill Devil Hills Skycraft team! She smiles smugly at you. “Eh?” She looks over at the rest of the crew. “Eh? Eh? … come on! It’s not healthy to ignore the opposite sex for so long! Let’s at least say hi to them!”

> “Only say hi, then we’re going to go have fun with ourselves.”

“Well, hey, hey!” Jack Cochran and friends are busy laying out some towels for themselves, along with umbrellas of their own. And thank god they’re not in swimshorts yet, just their tank tops and olive drab pants as they start to settle in. “Didn’t think you girls wanted to associate with us flyboys, especially after the stuff we deal to you during the week.”

“We’re only saying hi, Jack,” you say.

“Hm, is that all you came to say?” he says in a wiseguy manner.

“Yep, let’s go,” you say.

“Actually!” Winona grabs you by the shoulder strap of your swimsuit. YOU- “We just wanted to say thanks for the Panzer again, it’s not every day a bunch of flyboys can get tanks.”

“Well, a certain somebody told me it was a Tiger tank and I figured, eh we got a bunch of surplus cash on our hands!” He shrugs, smirking a bit. “Guess we were duped.” You look to Stack and Ingrid, who simply fold their arms and look away from the boys, paying them no mind. “Tell you what, we’re gearing up for a quick volleyball match on the sands, you girls want to play?”

“I’d-“ Winona looks at you. Your expression says everything. “… love to but I can’t. But hey, tell Jeep Jockey we said hello, alright?”

“Alright,” he says. “We’ll be here tomorrow too if you gals want to hang out a bit.” As if.

> Actually, humor the boys, maybe a volleyball match won’t be so bad.

You sigh. “Actually.” Everyone stops, turning around to you. “Jack, I think me and my girls would be able to entertain a volleyball match with you.” He blinks, surprised. “But only one. And with no stupid stakes.”

“Aw, stupid stakes make everything fun though!” he says. You roll your eyes. “Fine, fine, quick match, you won’t even know it happened after it happens. Okay?” You nod. “I’ll get some guys together.” He turns around, calling some of his boys to join him.

“What made you change your mind?” asks Winona.

“We’re here to have fun,” you say. “And I think it’ll be some kind of catharsis if we beat their brains in at volleyball.” The girls all giggle and laugh at that. “None of you know what catharsis means, do you?” They shake their heads. “Ah, forget it. Let’s just go play some volleyball.”

A five on five match. First to five points wins. The tankery team came out of the water to come watch on one side, and on the other the Skycraft boys as well. And for this match, the boys stripped off their shirts and wore their pants or their swim trunks. As you all gathered around to plan, Winona could not pay attention. “You know, I didn’t realize Skycraft was uh… that physical of a sport. They’re very uh-“ She blushes a bit, smiling as she stares at the boys as they limber up and loosen those muscles. “They’re very built.”

“Pay attention,” you say. “Ingrid, you keep the ball in the air as best you can. Josephina and Winona are up front to defend. Me and Stack will serve and return, got it?” Everyone nods.

Soon enough, the match is underway. “Go get them, Ellie!” yells Serafina. “Victory at any cost!” This is Volleyball, not the Somme! You serve the ball over, and immediately one of the tall boys jumps up and spikes it directly into the ground on your side. Awww.

Okay, this is gonna be harder than you thought.

Four and four now, with you serving the ball. Everyone’s warmed up and raring to go, even Ingrid looks like she’s gonna go ham out there. But the boys are the boys, they know no exhaustion or tiredness. That’s what they’re built for after all, physical stuff. A lot in the body, not much in the skull.

But these boys are tough too. “Elodie! Elodie!” The tankery team chants your name, cheering for you.

… NOW YOU’RE UNDER PRESSURE. Okay, okay. Um.

“Serve it!” yells Stack. SHIT. You lob the ball up and-

“Ellie!” Griselda walks up to the volleyball court, calling to you. “I need you real quick!” The boys’ attention drifts from the ball to Griselda. And stays on Griselda.

And the ball promptly lands on their side. The girls all jump up and cheer, happily heckling the boys as they start to walk off the court, still staring at Griselda. And who could blame them, Jesus Christ. Griselda smiles at you, walking up to you. “Oh, did you just win something?”

“Well, we did. It was a nice match regardless with Jack Cochran.” And speak of the devil, here he comes now. He’s all smiles and sunshine though, shaking your hand. “Good match, Jack.”

“Yeah,” he says. “We uh… got distracted. How you doing, Griselda?”

Griselda folds her arms, smiling at him. “I’m doing well, Jack. Nice of you to ask.” The two of them size each other up, smiling happily. Deep down inside, you can tell there’s a bit of tension. Griselda obviously doesn’t enjoy being shot up with paint and Jack obviously enjoys using you for target practice. “Well, I should take my officer here.”

“Alright, well, me and the guys here are gonna cheer for you at the match.” He gives a thumbs up. “Kick their ass for us.” Griselda nods, taking your arm and dragging you away.

With that, Griselda starts leading you up the beach towards a force of other girls wearing very light uniforms, short shorts and a khaki blouses. Those must be the Sherbrooke Girls. “Just want you to meet them and say hi, alright? Don’t worry.”

“Alright,” you say.

You walk up to one of them, a pale girl with black hair and blue eyes. She folds her arms, grinning. “Hey there, eh.” She holds out her arm, smiling at you. “Mackenzie King.”

You blink. “Um, what does she say about me?”

“A lot,” says Mackenzie. “Ah, don’t worry about it, she sings quite a lot of praise of you, same for Iris Blackbourne. She especially told me of your big…” Mackenzie’s eyes flick down to your chest, then make eye contact with you again. “… love for tanks!” Really. Did she. “But eh, our team is just as eager and confident as yours. I’m surprised the sister of LGA’s own Gertrude Pool though is having trouble recruiting people.”

Griselda shrugs. “Ah, well, that’s complicated.”

“Shame, I’d gladly follow you into the fire and flames,” says Mackenzie. “But until then, I suppose we are opponents on the field, eh!” She smiles. “We’ll bring Sherbrooke some pride today, alrighty?”

You nod. “We won’t hold back if you don’t.”

“That’s what I like to hear!” Mackenzie holds out her hand, and you shake it firmly. “Good luck! Sherbrooke will give you a thrashing!”

“Alright, Serina,” says Griselda. “You’re in a very big slow tank, I want you to remember that.”

“Yeah, yeah,” says Serina. “Let’s just get on with this so we can go back to the beach.”

“Right. You all know the plan. We’ll hit them first, and draw them into our killzones. Officers, you have free reign over which direction you want to go. Tell me now so we know which way you’re going and I can assign the tanks to you as I see fit, got it?”

“Got it!” you and Iris say. “Elodie, you set the pace, which direction are you going?”

“We’re going to head north, Iris.”

“Alright,” says Griselda. “Take Serafina and Suvorov with you. I’ll take Serina with me. Iris, Taney and Dalia are with you.” Everyone calls affirmative. “Alright, on the bounce!” Your tanks get on rolling, except for the King Tiger. “Serina, is something wrong back there?”

“Hold on, the engine’s not starting,” says Serina. The King Tiger suddenly roars into life, puffing out a large black cloud of the engine block. “There we go!”

“That cloud of smoke is not good, but then again we did have to restore that on short notice,” says Griselda. “Proceed as planned. Iris, head south, take the bridge if practicable, we’ll support. Ellie, you scout north.”

“Got it,” you declare. You look back to Serafina and Suvorov. “Serafina, you good back there?’

“We’ll follow your lead!” the Poles declare all at once.

“Take us in, Commander!” yells Suvorov.

Alright, alright. Here we go…

“You know,” says Winona. “This isn’t so bad, tanking in our swimsuits. Why don’t we do this more often?”

Your tanks rove on, and you take another look at the map. From this distance and with all these trees in the way, you won’t see any advance movement from Sherbrooke.

Us and Suvorov head up north to spot the other bridge and determine whether the enemy are crossing it to the island or whether they're coming straight for us.

In the event they go to the island, we do the plan I outline next

In the event they're coming north, Survorov and us play loosey goosey and bait them onto the bridge, smokes, flares, the works, then spring the attack north to south

Ideally we can take out all their mediums/lights in one fell swoop then retreat down to the urban sprawl of the island for dealing with their casemate tanks

>Leave an ambush contingent in the golf course hidden behind the trees
>Send the heavies and a couple of defensive mediums into Oak Island and bait the enemy into combat there
>Do a peeling retreat w/ covering fire all the way back to the bridge and start to retreat across with the lightly armoured tanks going first, heaviest heavies guarding the road before the bridge so the enemy cant break through and shoot us on the bridge
>once friendlies are far enough across the bridge, the heavies left behind start to move across the bridge, bringing the enemy with them
>once they reach around the blue position, ambush contingent springs and begins harrying the enemy from behind along the bridge
>enemy should panic and try to flee past the slow heavies, maybe take them out
>enemy gets a little further along bridge, northern hidden contigent opens fire on the enemy
>rock and a hard place, highway of death 2: cute girls boogaloo

this all relies on the enemy fighting us on oak island so we need to find a way to get them there

alternatively we could do the same plan but in reverse if they come from the north and use our fast tanks in place of the heavies

> Continue north

You continue north on the way to the big road to the top of the map. There you’ll use that to flank westwards if the Canucks decide to head south towards the bridge instead of moving east towards your start location. To be perfectly frank, this isn’t something that leaves a lot of room for error. It’d be like Legolas saying that the Hobbits are being taken back to the Misty Mountains.

“This is Iris. We see some dust growing up near the bridge.” You mark it down on your map. “It’s not too big of a cloud, but we can’t tell if it’s just their lights or if it’s all of them at once.”

“Right, me and Serina are gonna move to reinforce in just a little bit,” says Griselda. “Elodie, if it turns out they’re all at the bridge, I want you to flank them from the north. If it’s just their light tanks, hold position.” Got it, got it.

Still, if they’re already at the bridge, that must be their fast tanks, right?

Something clicks in your brain for a second. There’s no way that Mackenzie would be dumb enough to head to the bridge and leave her northern flank undefended. She must be protecting her rear with something. Could be the Nashorns, could be the Marder IIIs, could be the lights for all you know. A flank attack might be more difficult than you think.

“We’re moving to reinforce,” says Griselda. “Got anything Iris?”

“Not yet,” she says.

You arrive at your holding position, then take up your binoculars and look down. Yep, there’s some dust and a lot of white smoke covering up their positions. You do see silhouettes of what are either Marder IIIs or Nashorns in the smoke but you can’t make them out. And certainly from this range you can’t take them on. Nashorns could though.

“Iris, how soon are you arriving?” you ask.

“About five minutes out give or take,” she says.

Let Iris know there's TDs waiting for her, encourage her to use liberal smoke and HE from the larger guns to suppress them (the ultra thin crew compartments are still at threat from stuff like 122mm HE going off nearby). We need to break up their formation before we engage or their tank destroyers will do exactly that.

“Affirmative.” You watch through your binoculars, then see Iris’ Churchill come up from the buildings. She comes up to the bridge, and fires at the first thing she sees.

The response back is a hail of high velocity fire. Iris and company immediately back away, but not before sneaking in another shot at something she just saw.

“Hey, save some for us, Iris!” yells Dalia.

“We’re on our way to reinforce,” says Griselda.

You take another look through the binoculars. The smoke is starting to dissipate, and you do see a lot of casemates and cruisers in the woods. And you do see a pair of Nashorns facing you down in your direction as well. Okay, tough flank for sure…

If tanks didn't like being taken from the rear, their armour there wouldn't be so thin and they wouldn't show off their engine decks so invitingly.

>>48541632

It looks like there's a hill and some low ground to the North of the enemy position we can use as cover for our movements, we might even be able to close to engagement range before we get spotted.

Nashorns have virtually no armour, wanting to be taken from any angle, the greasy sluts

>>48542020
Well their lightly armored and weak to flanks since their guns can't rotate

>>48542035
Most TDs are easy because they're self conscious about their disproportionately big guns scaring off other tanks.

> Head west to try and find a hole in their rear

“Griselda, we’re going to try and find another way through, direct south is too well-defended!”

“Got it, make it fast, we won’t last in a slugfest with these guys!”

You continue observing the battle from your position, with Serafina and Suvorov bringing up the rear.

“Ha! I see you!” yells Dalia. Her Hellcat fires off a shot, and it finds a Marder II in the woods. “Got them!”

> KO: ELOISE BRUCE (Sdkfz 131 Marder II)

Their celebration however is cut off rather quickly by another shot finding them.

“… fuck. Well, we did what we could,” says Dalia in a defeated manner.

“My sentiment is with Griselda, those Nashorns are going to get lucky and we’re not in a position to help,” says Iris.

“Don’t worry, we’re fine,” you say.

“Look!” yells Serafina. “Their cruisers and lights are splitting off out of the woods!” You take another look. Four T-70s and a Crusader, yep. Those are all of their turreted tanks coming up to try and intercept behind you.

Get down into some low ground, us on the right flank, and Suv on the left, then put Serafina in a hull down position at the top of the slope facing towards the lights. They'll see her and try and rush/flank her (they can't pen her turret frontally unless the Crusader gets stupid lucky and/or has APDS), then she'll retreat down the hill, drawing the enemy lights into a killzone between us and the Pz III.

>>48542075
>>48542161
actually, expanding on this

have our whole unit continue the flank and charge, if the crusaders/t70s get close then the other tanks stop and engage whilst we step on the GAS GAS GAS and break their cordon

>>48542161
We might be able to (maybe, T-70s are QUICK, though we'll leave the Crusader in our dust). But the Pershing couldn't outrun an infantryman on cross country terrain, and the Pz III is only of average speed.

Yup, which is why I think this >>48542170 plan will work. They'll assume we left the slow Pershing behind to delay while we continued the flank. So they'll try and overwhelm it quickly and pursue, only to discover it's a trap.

“Serafina, hold fast! Suvorov, hold right, we’ll hold left! Down in those lowlands!” You speed down behind a hill, with Suvorov also taking up position behind some hedges and in the low ground as well. The Pershing stops on a dime, spinning around it face its front and side to the advancing T-70s. “Wait for my shot, Suvorov!”

Serafina laughs. “HAHA! FINALLY A CHANCE TO PROVE OUR WORTH!”

“That doesn’t mean charge!” you yell.

“No, no, Iris gave me a book to read! The Charge by Kinuyo Nishi of Chi-Ha-Tan! It’s very informative-“ A shell dinks off the Pershing’s turret. “AH! HOW DARE THEY!?”

The T-70s speed up the hill, blasting away at the Pershing. They know they can’t penetrate it frontally, which means they’re trying to go around the sides.

Right into your sights. “Now, fire!” Your tanks open up.

You fire another round, which unfortunately flies over the Crusader. The Pershing and the Panzer III advance out of their spots, trying to get last sniping shots in, but they all miss. The Crusader turns around, running back. You take another look through your binoculars, and see the remaining Marder IIIs coming out of the woods to support a pair of Nashorns coming to block your flank, at least from this direction.

Put the Willy Pete flares into the nearby woods, the smoke should hinder their attempts to pursue/snipe us. Feign retreat into the woods to our West at full speed, then hook south and then east back into their side as they pursue blindly through the smoke from our launchers and the budding forest fire we're probably about to start with the WP. We'll catch them in a brawl and even if they left a few behind to cover, the smoke should prevent any effective support.

We don't have to kill them all, but every TD we draw away from that position is a TD not firing at the rest of our team.

“Deploy smoke now!” Stack fires up a smoke bomb, shrouding your position in concealing smoke. Another smoke bomb, this time a WP flare goes up as well, splattering against the woods as you make a full retreat into the forest. You take a look back from your cupola, hoping to god the tank destroyers follow you. The idea now is to feign retreat in here, then hook south and hit them from the side.

And indeed, that’s what they’re doing, they’re following!

They do stop just short of the woods though, clever girls.

You’ll have to improvise. “Suvorov, cross it! Serafina, suppress them!”

“Got it!” they both yell.

“Josephina, full speed!” Oliver roars to life, kicking up dirt and mud beneath the tracks as it starts hooking through the woods. Serafina’s Pershing stops and fires, getting their attention. The five TDs turn to face her, but suddenly are met by the fire of Suvorov’s Panzer III.

> KO: Jenny Wilkins (Sdkfz 164 Nashorn)
> KILL CREDITED TO: “SUVOROV” (Panzer III Ausf. J “Frederick”)

That causes them to start rotating around the spot, confused as to which target to hit.

Perfect. “Now, flank speed!” You charge right into their lines. One shot goes out from your six pounder.

The other Marder III starts falling back, trying to run away as the Panzer III and the Pershing pounce from their hidey-holes.

Griselda calls out on the radio. “I think it’s about time! Serina, get your ass up front, you’re going to tank damage for us! Iris follow behind!”

Delay until Gris and Iris engage first, then charge into their flank, if they turn to engage us we might go down, but they'll be overwhelmed by our heavies thanks to splitting their fire, though if they don't we'll cut them to pieces in a brawl. It's a no-win situation for them.

Hm. They can’t really retreat now. There’s tons of open ground to cover. They’ll be sandwiched between you and Iris. Which means that if you get into a brawl now, you’ll definitely win. “Josephina, take us in now!” She revs up th engine, and speeds towards the formation of Marders attempting to reverse out of their positions. Serafina and Suvorov fall in behind you, ready to give them the business.

“Here we go!” yells Iris. The King Tiger is tanking shots left and right, deflecting them off. They even fire a shot off, which unfortunately misses.

Iris however…

Behind Iris is the IS-2m as well, and it fires off a shot which blasts a Marder II off its tracks and onto its side.

The Panzer III flips end onto its side, popping its flag. “WHERE DID THAT COME FROM!?” yells Suvorov.

Kohlenkau speeds past you, and powerslides behind the Pershing. Before Serafina can turn her turret, Kohlenkau plants one point blank into the Pershing’s engine, cooking it up.

Light up the Kolenkau's vicinity with the .50 and the Coax+Hull MGs. fire the flares over behind the dust cloud, they might silhouette the Marder a bit giving us more to shoot at. As soon as we flush it out with the MGs, take the kill shot with the main gun. We can't afford to ignore it anyway.

>>48544363
> Forget it! You have to break the main line now!

>>48544363
This guy >>48544451 seems to know what he's doing, I'll back it.

>>48544451
I will back this. We need to engage the main line, but so long as that tank is riding our ass, we have a problem.

>>48544377
>>48544396
>>48544444
>>48544460
Guys if we go and break the main line, we're taking 1 or 2 75s/88s out of the equation that are firing at the fronts of our heavy tanks. If we go for the Kolenkau we remove a 75mm with a highly skilled crew from hitting the flanks of our heavies not to mention probably just popping us in the rear while we run for the main group of them. We'd be letting them outflank us.

>>48544583
Exactly how is it going to flank our heavies?

And we can shove smoke out our ass if we have to.

>>48544451
>>48544583
This seems like a solid idea, I will back it.

>>48544631
Because the TDs at the North of the Bridge will retreat Westwards for their last stand, turning our heavies' flank to the North, where the Kolenkau will be waiting.

>>48544363
>>48544451
This.

>>48544677
We are flanking the TDs and killing them I believe.

>>48544721
Only if we get to them, we still have to cover some ground and to do that we leave ourselves exposed to the Kolenkau, who we'd have to track down afterwards anyway, and it's a notorious ambusher. Better to flush it out and kill it now removing the threat to our rear. Our team aren't incompetents, we have to trust them to be able to carry this last attack long enough for us to deal with this.

>>48544363
>other
Guys! We have a .50 Cal use that shit on that TD it's armor sucks and exposing it's side!

>>48544756
I would prefer working as a team rather than soloing it.

>>48544781
Everyone agrees we should fire the machine gun at it. Just a question of how many.

>>48544805
Maybe if there were other tanks left in our platoon, but they're both down so I'm not confident we could safely make it to the enemy position and provide direct support before we're removed from the match. Staying alive is in itself helping the team, as Sherbrooke has to remain aware that they have an enemy element North of them that could engage them. If we try to engage and die, they're free to focus entirely on the heavies, not to mention the morale boost of knowing your rear's secure.

>>48544805
How many? Keep shooting till its dead

With a bit of a hunch, you decide that the best way to defeat Kohlenkau for now is to get him now while he’s in the open. “Fire a flare, Stack!” She nods, loading one up in the bombthrower, and firing it overhead. It stays up overhead, casting light over the smoke and dust on Kohlenkau, and giving you a faint silhouette of it roving around kicking up more dust. It’s probably trying to get away.

Not this time. You turn the .50 around, then fire at it with what you got. You squeeze the trigger, blasting the cloud and shooting it up with tons of .50 BMG ammo. You can’t tell if you’re hitting Kohlenkau or not at this stage. However, it turns on a dime, the profile going narrow.

Wait. “BRACE!” you yell. The smoke gives way to a shell coming your way. It bounces off your turret side.

“Agh!” Winona holding onto the gun controls. “I hate bounces!”

“Suck it up!” yells Stack.

Truth be told, that almost knocked you right out. But you’re not giving up.

Meanwhile…

> KO: SERINA HILDEBRAND (Tiger II (P) “Cub”)
> KILL CREDITED TO: MACKENZIE KING (StuG III Ausf. G)

“Ah! How the fuck did that happen!?” yells Serina. “… What do you mean it snuck through the roof!? Fuck are you talking about a shot trap!?” Their radio comms must be broken.

Still, they’re putting up a good fight.

> KO: ZOE HOLMES (Crusader III)

As you’re looking to the fight, your attention is suddenly brought to Kohlenkau charging right at you.

>>48544872
We can shove smoke out to prevent our own demise.

There's also no guarantee we win against the Marder. I would prefer disengaging then flanking rather than going in alone. (Plot armor aside)

>>48544968
> EXECUTE TACTICAL MANEUVER (NISHIZUMI HOOK): - 10 CP
If ever there was a time to do it, now is that time. Also, hose 'em with all three MGs on the way, it might kill them, might not, but it should definitely spoil their aim until the last moment, when we'll be drifting out of their firing arc anyway.

>>48544968
I'll back >>48545009 as much as it hurts to use all this CP, I think it's the right call.

>>48544968
Oblige them and sneak using the .50 cal

>>48545075
But it gives us no cp for the next fight!

>>48545097
We really can't think about that now. We can't drop any matches, and if that means going all out now and having to take a bit of a back seat tomorrow because low CP, that's okay with me. Besides, we rarely use more than two Intuitions a match anyway.

>>48545009
Why do you guys do fucking leaps of faith bah.....

> EXECUTE TACTICAL MANEUVER (NISHIZUMI HOOK)

“Now!” Your Cromwell charges straight at them as well. Your two tanks go full force at each other, ready to pop them point blank!

But suddenly, you turn to the right. Kohlenkau fires, scraping the shot against the armor. It immediately pulls to a stop, intending to turn around and track you as you rotate around.

But the key to a well-executed Nishizumi hook is the stop. “Now!” you yell again. Josephina pulls Oliver right, then hits the brakes, sliding to a stop. Kohlenkau overcorrects, its gun way past the mark. “Fire!” Your own shot flies right into Kohlenkau, sending it onto its side.

> KO: FAITH WHITEHEAD (Sdkfz 131 Marder II “Kohlenkau”) *LEGENDARY*

All of you gather around, clapping and cheering on the beach as the sun sets. “Alright everyone, good match, good match!” says Griselda. “You all did very well! Let’s give a hand to Elodie for her plays today, nice work!” Everyone starts cheering your name, patting your back and happily applauding you. Aw, shucks. Too much. “Tomorrow’s our Flag Match, less room for error, but let’s take our momentum from today into that match!”

“Alright!” you all declare. And with that, everyone goes to have a late dinner or head into tents on the beach. Your own crew feels confident it seems.

Winona smiles at you. “That was great! Even if we lose tomorrow we can still get the draw!”

Thanks girls, this was our victory more than any other match this season. Keep calm, stay focused and trust me and each other like you did today and we'll win tomorrow. Alright, now let's get some rest.

Then call up Oleg and see if he can't get you some WP Shells for tomorrow.

>>48545524
All-Star points are what track your path towards getting elected to the All-Star game before the Combined Fleet Festival. More ASP, better chance you get to go to the ASG.

It's gonna be difficult though riding Iris' coattails.

>>48545569
How much does she and iris have?

>>48545569
> implying we won't both make it as the LGA power couple.

>>48545614
Iris currently leads LGA (and the Western League) with 150 All-Star Points, Griselda second with 50 and with this match you now have 45.

How many point did iris get in that match with last-man-standing and wiping out so many of the enemy team.

>>48545453
I'll also back buying the WP shells for tomorrow.

>>48545761
Didn't we do a bunch of unique plays or is it because we play casual

> “Don’t get cocky.”

“Let’s not get cocky you guys,” you declare. “It still almost ended with half of our tanks gone, let’s not imagine how worse that could’ve gone if something went wrong. We got lucky that everything went off with a hitch.”

Stack folds her arms, in agreement. “Alright, alright, no need to get your boxers in a pinch.” You’re not wearing boxers- OH. HAHA, VERY FUNNY, STACK. She smirks, smugly looking at you.

Winona rubs her hands together. “Well, I think a celebratory dinner is in order before we head to bed! Who’s up for crab?” You blink. Crab? “Yeah, crab!” Winona happily holds up a cage full of crabs. “I bought in the morning while you were talking with Mac and Griselda. I figure I wanted to surprise you!”

Well, um…

You bite your lip, sweating a bit. Oh God, you could go for that crab right now.

She holds one in front of your nose, waving it tauntingly. “I’ll get it cooked nice and juicy for you…”

“Fine, just-“ You huff, folding your arms. “Whatever.” Winona giggles, heading off to cook it.

Stack nudges you, grinning. “We’ll get ‘em tomorrow. You’ll see.”

You sigh, that’ll be the day.

>>48545795
El tends to make unique but small scale plays which don't so much decide games as win her particular engagements one at a time. Not as flashy as Iris' game winning rampages.

Also, unless I'm mistaken, the +20 MORALE should boost Stack up to 110% for the next match. Will that give us another skill on her or something? not that we've the CP to use it anymore I guess

Highlights

- LGA: Elodie Zumwalt and crew baits Sherbrooke Girls High twice, wipes almost half team in two engagements.

- JWC vs. RHMA: Before JWC vs RHMA match, RHMA protests JWC's attempt to bring Teller mines onto field. Match delayed for on-field ruling. Ruling is mining battlefield is illegal. Match proceeds without fuss. (RHMA victory)

- ZES: Zhou Enlai acquisition from Konigsberg Academy Eri Barkmann earns 14 kills in single engagement against Kuromorimine, sets team record for most kills by a commander, ties NATO record for most kills in single day (held by Oryola Kuznetsov).

- KGB: Kursk promotes middle school prodigy SU-76 ace Rozaliya Ulanova to NATO Varsity team. Earns 7 kills in first appearance singlehanded.

>>48546168
So what upgrades do our comrades have.

>>48546241
Maybe we can get a THE TEAM pastebin tomorrow, but that's something we can worry about in the next thread.

>>48546271
That said, I'm usually 2 hours or so late for threads because of timezones, so if one of our early bird anons could try their best to obtain some WP shells for our 6 pounder prior to tomorrow's match it would be much appreciated. I think they'll be absolutely ridiculous against these lightly armoured TDs, especially for forcing them out of cover.

>>48546168
Thanks for writing!

>>48545887
Anon has it right, to go with the usual baseball analogy. We're getting RBI's sure, but we're doing it by singles and doubles. Iris hits home runs. Or if baseball isn't your deal. We assist, we don't score the goal.

>>48545897
Was lurking for most of it, but wanted to say good thread. Will be in it tough, but I think we have a shot!

I will try to upgrade the kill counts for tomorrow.
