Just like in REAL WAR, NO WINNERS - JUST SURVIVORS!

My single most effective unit is probably the T-34 that got stuck in the mud and spent the game lobbing shells at the position of Eagle's lIGs.

Eagle got much better and much effective use of her mortars - some of mine haven't even caused casualties! I ALSO FORGOT THE 300MM ROCKET BATTERY!!!

Eagle is also a lot more of an active player whereas I am, regrettably, more reactive.

Still, one unexpected thing was how many casualties I had caused in close-range firefights when her troops were apparently just lousy with StG44s and MP40s.

It may not be obvious from the map, but my forces around the dang rail way station had been shattered by Eagle's artillery and she apparently had two mostly healthy assault platoons + a Panther in the area. Good thing for me that the game ended when it did.

The last dude of note would probably win some combat lifesaver badge as he spent a lot of time tending to casualties in the lIG killzone. This is not optimal, however: I've never seen people (read: Usually Hapless) care for casualties in MP outside trying to maybe retrieve special weapons.

All in all, good game, wish I had won.
