13/5/2008 - Wins and Losses
It has been up and down in my gaming the last 24 hours or so, but it has all been good and all part of the hobby :)
The first good news is that The Allies finally won our campaign fight.
For those of you who dont' know, fellow TOG clanmates and myself have a weekly DOD:S fight as part of a campaign, with win or lose deciding which map will be played the following round amoung other things. It has set teams (once an ally always an ally etc) and makes ofr some great fights when everything is on the line.
This was our third (maybe at least my third attempt since joining TOG) attack at Colmar, being beaten previously by the Axis forces the previous two times and our reputatioins and morale was at stake this time around.
With some vehement 'instruction' from our glorious leader Naverone and a bit of random t/k'ing at the start, we soon settled in for a last ditch effort to push the lines forward and make it to a new map. We managed to come together on our pushes, providing more support and flexibilty than in the past, and with a bit of mad panicy scrabbling managed a fairly convincing win. Felt good :)
That leaves us to next round in about another 5 or so days. Not sure of the map, is outpost or copse or something, will confirm later in the week.
I have strated playing EVE:Online this week, and what a fantastic game for sure. However this evening I had my first taste of losing hard worked for assets, losing my new Rifter to a swarm of drones. Out gunned mainly, need better weapons to deal with the drones faster before their numbers got the better of me (was not happy when had to escape in my little pod before being pod killed as well ) and i was not quick enough in beating a hasty escape, the ship blowing up about 1 second before the warp engines got me the hell out of there.

Yeah I know, I'm still a newb and forgot to insure the ship so now I have to rebuild the finances and expand my fleet again. However I am qualified to pilot the next class up adn am thinking of buying a Thrasher for an all round combat/mining vessel to really get things rolling.
I am still on a trial account at the moment, but am fairly convinced of the quality of the product and am likey to break my own rules about pay to play games, and subscribe to this game. Then I will really be able to get stuck in and put all those industrial skills, which have been for the moment left stagnant, to good use.
Anyhoo that is about if for this update. Will return when I have more gaming news.
