Quite epic.

And what I like about the games now is that with the restricted information you get from the stars, you're never really sure if your side is winning or losing. Well. . . it's sometimes pretty obvious. But in this giant battle, we turned the Bobby Lee's left and tried to turn his right, but he almost split us in half with an attack right up the gut. In the end we were victorious, but only because Bobby Lee ran out of time.

Now. . . we don't play hits and couriers. . . but sight is restricted to 125 yards. So it's not really that easy to control a 4,000 man division and you really have no idea what's happening on the other end of the line.

Attack. . . fall back. . . reform. . . hold them barstages off. . . counter attack. . . hold that wall to the death young man.

Great fun.

Did anyone record it? If you all ever do something like this again is it possible to have an observe in game who can jump unit to unit? I own FRAPs and being able to record this epic MP game could help gain some exposure if you were able to show the potential of huge MP games like this to others.

I don't think anyone out there outside of this community probably has ever seen anything like this and having a view of it would be a great promotional tool.
