ALL Axis participants...excellent job tonight. The rest of you who missed it are prolly gonna wish you hadn't. :/ Almost everybody got to play both rounds tonight too, so...y'all need to come to these things!!! This is a full team effort, so I'd love it if more than just 1/4 of the team were to show up. :confused1:
But alas, promotions/recognition of all who were present tonight at realism AND today at Euro Realism:
Mr. Boe Jangles - Leutnant [Lt.] - I'm not gonna lie--Boe Jangles isn't our ace-in-the-hole crack shot (some people have begun to question if his killstats on his sig are a typo for somebody of his rank), but he really is a leader out there, and leader = officer in war by my view. Anybody who has something to say about his 0.3 KDR needs to look at his ribbons and note (black middle stripe inside the red/blue outer stripes) that we've never lost a map Boe Jangles has participated in. The dude's 4-0. Plus, if we awarded ranks based on divisional joke tolerance, he'd outrank me by now.
1) The time when he rocketed a sniper who was staring down scope at him...lived to tell about it...and then rocketed the guy with the sniper to finish off our Anvil defense round.
2) Or how about on Campazzo when he fired into the fog and nailed Boyle with his MG. Then he turns around, shoots a rocket like 200-300 feet away and knocks the last Allied player (who he couldn't possibly have seen) down to like 2 health. That same player medic'd up, and then tried to run around the church, but Smilo put a rocket out in front of him and nailed him. Now...he admitted this was just luck (no way could he have possibly seen him), but...it looked like he had heat-seeking missiles lol.
BL4SPH3MY - Unterfeldwebel [Ufwb.] - Blas exemplifies the Axis spirit every week (translation: "What a troll."). He also leads the team in apologizing for "being so bad" (even if he just went 4-0).
gavin gillies - Unterfeldwebel [Ufwb.] - gavin is pretty quiet but I think we can break him of that--I want to see how he'll do as a squad leader.
Homicidal Bunny - Unterfeldwebel [Ufwb.] - Homicidal is one of those consistently inconsistent players...he sits quietly for a while and flies under the radar...but then just before you forget he is around he suddenly finds a little pack of Allies and mows them all down. Then you're left sitting there thinking, "Ok...wow. What just happened?" because he runs back to his assigned spot and says nothing, as if it never even happened. Lol keep it up dude.
BeeF915 - Unteroffizer [Uffz.] - BeeF hasn't been around a lot, but he really stepped it up and played well tonight.
B Zerker - Unteroffizer [Uffz.] - B Zerk is one of those guys you find on any team/organization who doesn't say much, isn't really flashy, but comes, does his job, and helps to make the whole machine run smoothly.
Copper Ale - Unteroffizer [Uffz.] - Lol, Copper is the master of special events. He was at last week's special event...and today's Euro Realism...but has yet to show up to a Realism night.
He really earned this promotion tonight though, let me tell you. In Euro Realism today, his team was faced with the task of clearing an attic you had to enter via a ladder. They chose to skip the certain death trap.
Not Copper.
First he picks off a guy trying to peek...then he dodges a few nades...then he baits a few allies down the ladder and takes them out. The last one, realizing that 3-4 of his teammates have been massacred by this one guy (who had the lower ground), decides to stay in the attic and play it safe. Copper goes to the other attic ladder and throws a smoke nade that was totally not intended to go up through the opening (*WINK*) to draw attention to that ladder. He then flies up the other ladder and takes out the prone BAR in the dark corner. It was a masterpiece.
BlackBird. - Obergefreiter [Ogef.] - Black showed up for Euro Realism and we won't see him again, but he warned us that would be the case. In his brief appearance though, I learned that he's a pretty stinking solid player. It's a shame we couldn't get him around more.
Nosh - Obergefreiter [Ogef.] - Nosh did a good job following directions again tonight, but I am certain he's Batman. He is real quiet and he always just suddenly has to go somewhere, lol
General Specific - Oberschutze [Ostz.] - This was General's first time showing up, and hopefully he can make a few more.
Ya know...just because the following guys didn't get promotions doesn't mean they didn't do great. Bad Brain absolutely cracked skulls tonight. Death_Keeper did an awesome job planning out an attack and defense. Blue Stealth finally showed and there was much rejoicing in the streets. (IO) SA was crazy-good. ST0RMY was key in planning and he and Heidi dispatched more than their fair share of enemies. Fluxion tore it up again. racing88 played very solid.

But alas, promotions/recognition of all who were present tonight at realism AND today at Euro Realism:
OFFICER PROMOTIONS
Spartacus_Legolas - Oberleutnant [Oblt.] - There was no single event leading to this promotion as Spartacus regularly does everything asked of him and some things that aren't--he gives input on strategy, he leads those under him, he steps aside to let squad leaders he outranks lead, he is willing to jump out of server to get other people involved, he sticks around in case we need a quick sub, he always has a good attitude, he attends pretty much every night and strat meetings, and he also is one of the best guys on that battlefield every night.
Mr. Boe Jangles - Leutnant [Lt.] - I'm not gonna lie--Boe Jangles isn't our ace-in-the-hole crack shot (some people have begun to question if his killstats on his sig are a typo for somebody of his rank), but he really is a leader out there, and leader = officer in war by my view.

NCO PROMOTIONS
Smilodon - Feldwebel [Fwbl.] - I really don't even know what to say about Smilo by this point...the guy is like Captain Clutch or something. If you have been around in Realism, you know exactly what I mean. If you HAVEN'T, here are two more examples from tonight:1) The time when he rocketed a sniper who was staring down scope at him...lived to tell about it...and then rocketed the guy with the sniper to finish off our Anvil defense round.
2) Or how about on Campazzo when he fired into the fog and nailed Boyle with his MG. Then he turns around, shoots a rocket like 200-300 feet away and knocks the last Allied player (who he couldn't possibly have seen) down to like 2 health.

, I have experience with Campazzo and there are usually people back in that corner. I shot my rocket heard a scream and "MEDIC", after I reloaded I guessed it was likely that he was running, and I guessed (I must be really good at guessing:biggrin
