Your drinking game was too hardcore to me, so I watered it down. Take a drink when you see a tiger getting killed without kills or turning it's rear to worst threat. Take two drinks when you see double panzer support buildings in German base. I was over before your show. |

one of the 3v3 games that i have seen that you can see how axis are so overpowered. the allies have had a great team work great micro and great stretagy all over this game and even though they had small mistakes during the game in general they were great, axis players weren't at their best or more close to their worst and yet they hold the game thanks for the overpowered tank spawm of the axis which kept the game running at least for another 40 minutes and destroyed not once the allies powers never mind how much they played well. its not a pro game but indication for a good allied player unlike in axis side is his ability to keep vet units which are their main hope. you can notice micro like the one of the american player and they try to say to me that the allies didn't gave their best. I give allies a great score for gaming because it wasn't luck that gave them the game but great combin of arms. |

Sorry arraisan, i'm not good at balancing drinking games, i don't drink myself  As for your point azrael, look at the right hand side of the map and tell the axis could have ever taken that with their tanks. |

Dear Azrael, I really have to disapprove you. The allies didnt't _want_ to capture middle point which was _THE_ point to win this game. Second mistake was the unability to set up some 17 pounders. Tigers and Panthers still could have died without kills, but faster. |

I'd just like to thanks bridger and rogers BTW. Since i've started playing CoH its been a dream of mine to be in a video replay episode of tales of heroes. i feel so fucking happy right now its unbelievable. Also BIG shout-out to my teammates SGT and amsouth, they really helped me getting back into the game!!! to anyone else who has similar aspirations, find a group of good players to play with, play every evening, and keep spamming bridger with replay, thats how i did it. |

 That was interesting, but so annoying. Just build 17 pdrs/stop killing your own tanks. It takes awhile for the download. At least 20 minutes here. |

More than 1 of the same base building is useful......if you're Defensive Doctrine and want cheap bunkers in your base. After all, 100MP for a KKC is cheaper than a Bunker with an MG Crew inside. |

Nasty stuff but I think anything would be a hard act to follow after last weeks superb game and shoutcast  Don't mind seeing the 'non uber' players but I think a few are indeed in order, tho pref not 1v1. |

I find the best way to un-trench British is to build 2 nebels and a stuka or just 3 nebels. Its costly MP wise, but it can actually turn a game around if you have a PE allie that will quickly attack after you've destroyed most of the emplacements. |

ahhhh bad game. And 1v1 is the way any rts is ment to be played. You start doing 2v2 and you start getting into major balancing issues without screwing over the 1v1 game. Its like playing a fps on console. Retarded. So hopefully the next weeks game is top lvl 1v1 players going at it. |

Sorry guys if you think the play was poor, i personally think we (the allied team) did reasonably well considering the fact that were wet at pop cap most of the time and seeing what we were up against. Also remember it takes 2500 seconds(Thats 42 minutes) to win a game via VPs holding 2/3 VPs, and thats assuming there aren't any tanks near the VP, or butterfly bombs or bugged mortar overwatch fire killing your own troops (which i did not know about till you guys mentioned it in the replay). I've seen pros fare less well against panthers with shermans and piats, and in most 'pro' games ive seen on ToH the USA wasnt able to keep his shermans alive for the entire game (which is what Amsouth did for instance). Criticism is encouraged, but dont insult us. |

I agree RiF, 3v3 are too hectic for me. Waaaaay to many tanks in that game too. SO yeah hopefully some Pros next week in a 1v1 game |

I honestly thought it was good. It's great to see the masters at work, but it is also good to have shows that occasionally point out what NOT to do. |

magnetic, it was the axis that i (and most others, im sure) was referring to. They had no idea. The Wher player should have back tech'd to stukas the pe players should have co-ordinated their attacks. I mean, building two of one building says it all for their skill level. |

mmm where do I start..... The allies had this game won from about the 1 minute mark when they decided to play as allies. you have to be an absolute FUBAR not to win on hill if you have brits on your team atm lol. The Axis team did well to hold out, but they fell into the Armour trap vs brit emplacements, fireflies,arty, piats and buttoning its very difficult to break the brit line...if the brits had of built a few more more 17 pounder the axis would not have got a sniff in, period, all they had were armour and no infantry or arty. It just goes to show how IMBA the game is when the allies win when they arent evan using the right units to defeat the axis armour. It would not have mattered if they attacked with 4 panthers and a tiger, 1 17 pounder and a few paits squads in trenches plus good old victor target could fight that off easy. that was some great use of the panzer knacker strike and berg tiger, also great to see some hummiliation.....however if the axis are going a heavy tank strat they need the jagd IMO, but you cant jsut rely on tanks, you need infanty. I could go on...but in teh end it was a nice spam fest with lost of things going bang, im sure the guys paying had a great time, and in the end thats whatits all about really. |

Eh. This was the most boring ToH to date. Didn't even make it to the end. The game wasn't very interesting and the commentary was all over the place. It's a shame too because last week's was great. Oh well, you win some you lose some. |

Being one of the "bad" players in this game, I would like to comment. In my defense, I am a terrible player that was on a 5-day bender. I am an 8/9 level normally, and I think we were playing 10 . This was defintely not one of my better games, but when I saw that my teamate built 2 of the same buildings in his base, I nearly shat myself. LOL. Good show. Funny stuff. |
