Well actually I'd like to tell how I didn't die!
Today we had a nice round of Crete, we (Axis) won safely.
Now how didn't I die? I almost died three times by getting overrun by a Junkers!
Well, you might say: "So? The starting Junkers almost everytime overruns someone!" Ha, yes!
But I wasn't overrun by them at the airfield, but on different spots on the island.
1. quasi-death incident: My squadleader orders me to cap the rearguard. I am on the airfield, so I grab an ammunition truck and do a turning maneuver on the airfield - just to see a ju52, landing, 50 meters in front of me, fast, low. I hit the gas - but damn, I can never make it out of the radius of its giant wings. Then, a second before I die, I see my only chance - a giant, 2 meters deep crater, I turn left, hard, dodge into it and jump out on the other side half a second later - half a second in which the junkers wing skipped my truck by a few inches. Heidernei!
2. quasi-death incident: We have crossed the hills between the airport and Chania to take the city. The edge of the city seems calm, so I grab my carbine, jump out of my cover and run for it, straight to the port, two meters from the waterline, down the beach. As I hear something - loud, deep, roaring, from my left side - I stop, inmidst of open field, watch the sea - and a Ju52 is LANDING, in man deep water. I think "god, it'll be slowed by the water and sink", but no, I see the wing furiously coming towards me, eager to crush my head - and I hit PRONE PRONE PRONE and dodge the wing a quarter second before it breaks my skull. My squadmates laugh at me, but I'm alive!
3. quasi-death incident: I'm at the very southwestern village (forgot the name), at the north-south street in the western part of the city. Damn, I could swear I hear that roaring again - I do! Turning around, AGAIN, a Ju52 floating in, landing some meters in front of the houses, slowing down in front of me, it's wheels on the road a meter below me, it's wing in knee height - so I jump! And I land on the wing, being carried away another meter or two before the Ju52 stops a few inches infront of a house.
That was cool. I didn't play so good in that round, died several times, didn't make much points. but these three action made it great for my gaming experience.
