Just now we finished a round of Fall of Tobruk and I started a squad named "Often dead" because I usually die more than I kill, so members would know that my SL spawnpoint wasn't always available. The map before was Port en Bessin and we had stomped against the last flag, only to see the Germans return from a beaten position, and it made us a tad angry, because the map before that, Falaise Piocket, had been quiet a steamroll for our team.
OK, back to Tobruk: a tough start, where only one flag was ours (first Outskirts, then Officer's Building, then Outskirts again), as we couldn't keep more than one at a time, or so it seemed. My squad, with guys such as psykfallet, QPS_a_civilian and a guy named The Spine or something like that (excuse me if I misspelled it) and a few more (pls don't be offended if I didn't remember all your nicks) was attacking both flags at different times, and when we finally got both at the same time, we moved on to Plaza.
Fights were chaotic, and indeed we were often dead, as in the name of the squad. We capped Plaza and then another squad moved in for Town Center but when they couldn't cap we tried to help out but lost Plaza in the process. Capping Plaza back was not too difficult, a few smokes in the bunker and there we went: it was ours again. Then Town Center got capped too, so our commander, who was sometimes bit unlucky with his arty, ordered us to go for Church, while squad 2 went for Harbour. We were still bleeding and something like 300 tickets behind.
Charge for the Church: I chose to be a bit sneaky and took one of the more covered routes to church. I blew away some enemies before my squadmates went in and capped church. We finally had them on the bleed! Victory was shortlived however, as we lost it again and we even got pushed back to Town Center which was briefly in British hands again. I was getting pissed and a tad hopeless, but we recapped Town Center and then Church was defended quite strongly, so I went for the mainbase flag, as Harbour had been capped while we were at Church. Me and a few mates managed to grey it, but then I got killed so I tried again. After yet another stranded attempt at capping mainbase flag, we went to attack Church again. Defense was now split, as the Brits had noticed our attempts at capping mainbase.
I looked at the score and saw that the continuous bleed had bled the Brits out and now we were finally on something equal when it came to tickets. They were still bleeding, so itr would become tight: only 45 tickets left at that moment. I accidentally left the squad (I pushed the wrong order button - Del) and rejoined. We had Church grey and were about to cap it. We capped it indeed, under fire from a Stuart and lots of smoke, but our Panzer IV D gave some great support. In the end we were being mowed down by a Vickers, but even that couldn't stop the inevitable: we won 29-0. "Often dead" was best German squad
A big thanks to all who were in "Often dead" squad tonight, I had great fun!
