I don't know how great a story this is, but it was fun. I was running in my MT-25 this morning. Map is Mines; green spawns south. I don't call hill, as my device always loads late. I'm looking at the red lineup, though, and no one can beat me to the hill, especially if I hit the "speedy" thingy (sorry, apparently nouns are not my thing - I appear to have anomia). There's an AMX Biscuit on my team, too, so I figure the two of us can do a little peek-a-boom from the hill with support from the team's three heavies. I zoom up and take a great position on the hill, tout-de-suite.
You probably know where this is going. I am the ONLY one to go anywhere near the hill. I don't know where the AMX got off to - I think he might have gone island. The doggone heavies on my team are sitting on the friggin' base - I kid you not. Freaking captards. Someone on green calls them out on it - I think it was our team's sole TD. I stay put and peek-a-boom a bit, hitting a couple of reds, and I whittle one guy in particular down to maybe 20 hp, but eventually, the three reds on the hill realize that A) I'm completely on my own, and B) that I've just fired four shots, so they start to come at me, straight up the hill entrance. Rather than retreat, I decide to charge right at them - ramming the poor fool with low health, destroying him, and somehow only getting penned once by the other two reds. I then make a speedy escape, first south, then east, then north. I get near the base, and using the houses as cover, I destroy a red KV-2. There's a red TD on that northern sniper hill, but someone has him preoccupied, so I actually work my way back, full circle, to the top of the hill, where I dispatch one of the tanks that forced me off, and come close to destroying the second (Biscuit shows up to finish him off). Three kills, over 1500 hp in damage, and while this game did not break any records, I thought it was a really funny outcome. I've had to abandon the hill plenty of times before, but it was always via a "back way" - a full retreat - I can't believe I got away with charging a light tank right into three reds. RNGesus smiles on you every now and then.
