In WWIIOL I was an Axis grunt, Hellcatx. You could usually find me playing defense with my favorite towns to defend being Sedan and Vireaux. Put my Flak-36 on the hill overlooking the river and Vireaux was safe. The two towns I hated defending were Anhee and Dun as it always seemed like the Frenchies were trying to cap them and the army base was far from the town.

You limies and your Matilda II's always give me fits. I hated coming around a corner and running into that lumbering behemoth

Do you remember the time a bunch of WWIIOLers went over in-mass to DU and filled their forum up with Pro-Bush, Pro-America messages? It got so bad at DU that they actually sent an e-mail to CRS saying that if they didn't tell their members to stop and prohibit the use of the WWIIOL forums for planning DU disruptions, they would sue CRS.

Sedan, huh? I was in 3CD for a while...you ever play around Namur or Andenne? :)

Man, I remember one of the campaigns that lasted about eight or nine weeks. For 3 or 4 of them, we were fighting between the Namur/Andenne/Huy/Anhee/Profondeville area, back and forth, night after night, hanging on by our toenails against everything that particular portion of the Axis players could throw at us. That's one of those times that made a truly persistent game like WWIIOL (as opposed to one of the arena-based ones like, say, BF1942) really great. 3CD *OWNED* Namur. That was OUR town, our AO, and you'd have to roll over our virtual dead bodies to take it. (And French jokes aside, it was nice to see them actually rewrite history and win against the Blitzkrieg. The guys who played the French were the hardest-core mothers in the game to stand up under all the crap they took.)

I hated Anhee and Huy both. Nothing like getting shelled by Pz IIIH fire from the cliffs overlooking town. For days. Continuously. Andenne was a hell of a town to fight in, less of the cliff shelling and more straight-up fights.

I remember you from the forums. I didn't know you got banned, I thought you'd just had enough and quit.

I never heard about the WWIIOL crowd hitting DU, but I don't doubt it. A bunch of them started playing a small MMOG called "Second Life" and ended up largely getting banned and censored for putting pro-Republican messages, Confederate flags, and WWIIOL advertising bitmaps on the outside of their player-built dwellings. (Second Life's developers were from San Francisco...need I say more?)
