ImageThat's right ladies and gentlemen, Tales of Heroes is now in widescreen format!  Due to this being a brand new format, the quality might be a little off, we'll work that out for the next one for sure (I've already got the fix implemented).  Now how about this game?  It's Bentguru vs. Xn00bX as Panzer Elite vs. American.  Be sure to count how many times the Wirblewind apears fresh on the field, and bonus points for when it dies without ever killing anything!  Aside from that, this is a great match of rifle/ranger micro vs. halftracks and PGs so check it out!

Awesome. I miss the two posts a week you guys used to do. I also noticed in the game the PE player took forever to cap the fuel and munitions on the right side of his base.

Did the PE know that he can reinforce with the infantry halftrack? Why PE don't go for PIV? It devastated against ranger

PE player is definitely a noob, but fortunately, the U.S player only play pure infantry, otherwise, he would be anihilated within the first 15 minutes...

The American player just threw away his infantry, over and over. He kept sending in one or two rifle squads against the multiple PGs and infantry half tracks, what does he expect? And on top of doing that, he always waited far too long to retreat. I think his recklessness is what lost him the game.

The PE player learns to reinforce his units from the HT in the end, but he really should have done it from the beginning. He could have won the game sooo much earlier, but he played to defensively. Which is hard with PE.

He used PGs so much, I'm surprised he didn't upgrade unit size a little sooner. And get schrecks. And MP 44s..
The american player let PE win the game pretty much..

never, EVER, EVER build a wirbelwind. EVER. If you want some anti infantry killing power just go for the flakvierling, that actually will kill some guys.

Wirbelwind's do about the same damage as an unupgraded rifle squad. if that.

Just saw the ranger massacre. I think a little part of me just died... smilies/angry.gif

That American player was okay at the beginning, but towards the end he was painful to watch. I don't think it was great playing by either player, though. smilies/sad.gif

I was thinking the whole game what Bridger said at the end: if he had bust out a Sherman, and taken advantage of it, it could have been very different. The American had the gas for a good part of the game...he should have made better use of it.

Love the widescreen! This is the best quality I have seen. Even Roger's voice was a heck of a lot clearer. Good work!

We're working on an ipod/iphone version seperate from the regular, with this new system that shouldn't be too difficult.

That game was bloody awful! It was painfull to watch the american infantry being thrown away time and time again. The american unit preservation was non-existent.

I'm laughing at the other comments calling bentguru a noob.

I know everyone keeps saying how it wasn't good...but seriously, watching guys @ level 15 all the time, while entertaining, is not reality for most of us. Having a match with average guys is always a good thing, it keeps the balance and shows all angles of the game.

Personally, I like it.

well, that was painful to watch. that was basically a stomp, theres no point in the game where the American player had the upper hand. Id imagine he lost around 1.5k man power, at LEAST from just throwing squads away.

Spinning Wirblewind guy ftw, lol. I've never ever seen that before.

But yeah, as far as the game goes. Was an interesting game, not the highest skill level, but still interesting. Both players had problems teching, one m8 or sherman from the american player and he could of swung things in his direction.

However, instead of a Bergertiger from the Panzer-Support Kommand, a P4 would of ended the game in the PE's favor really soon, armor skirts pretty much negate the stickies and it would of just raped all the riflemen and countered an m8 if one were ever deployed.

Hey Bridger, the widescreen edition looks great!
Just discovered the joy of CoH and ToH (used to be a playstation nut but can't afford a PS3 yet smilies/sad.gif )
Picking up some great tips from the shows to cancel out my current noobishness. Keep them coming.
