I want to but the files for that map have been taken off maporchestra and rapidshare. Can you point me to a mirror or send them via xfire/irc?

It's 2AM GMT. Admittedly that's a poor schedule for our friends in Europe. We'll set one earlier in the day some time; Maybe a public scrim (combined arms) on a weekend 4PM EST (9PM GMT). But yes... the tanker's scrim is 2 AM on Friday* mourning for UK cats.

After Action Report from last nights battle.
"Hard pounding this, gentlemen; let's see who of us pounds longest."
- Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington, at Waterloo
This evening elements from 3.SS 'Totenkopf' Panzer Regiment 6 participated in an action against a mixed but determined Russian armored unit.
'Totenkopf' lived up to its name with a furious push towards the Soviet forward south flank. Rttf. Adler and his III. Tiger crew singlehandedly headed off a concentrated Russian offensive, knocking out six tanks while engaging a further four. After several minutes of withering Russian fire, III.Tiger was finally immobilized, and its crew retreated to be refitted.
Reinforcements from the 9.SS arrived and within minutes the forward south flank was littered with the charred, monolithic remains of Soviet armor. Freshly re-armed, III.Tiger led a spearhead up the north flank, encountering--and eliminating--several Russian peasant-soldiers attempting to man an AT gun. Three more Russian tanks succumbed to III.Tiger's 88mm cannon before it was immobilized.
Unfortunately the German advance was much too quick for its supply lines, and III.Tiger's crew was refitted with a Panzer III. In most circumstances Rttf. Adler and his crew prefer overwhelming firepower to mobility; now with the Tigers out-of-action, the SS would have to rely on maximizing the agility of their smaller panzers.
Under the cover of heavy artillery, Russian armor advanced rapidly and succeeded in taking the round. But the minor victory was not without cost--the tactical superiority of 3.SS-led German armored units saw the Soviets lose two tanks for every German tank destroyed.
Rttf. Adler's crew was unable to be refitted with a new Tiger, so they continued the battle in Pzr. IIIs, IVs, and, at times, on foot. By the time 3.SS left the battle, the German panzer forces scored 502 to the Red Army's 165. Nearly twenty Soviet tanks were destroyed by Rttf. Adler and his crew alone.
All in all, a fine day for battle -- and an evening's work for 3.SS Totenkopf
Now, gentlemen, time for cigarettes and brandy!

It was a hell of a fight. On the allied side, we split our forces into North and South Flank groups. I guided the movements of both flocks, concentrating armour to make maximum use of wingman tactics, while taking operational command of the North Flank group. I enjoined command of Southern forces to a couple ace riders, though unfortunately they were reluctant to give orders. We suffered for not having an operational (entrenched) commander on the southern flank, guiding tactical maneuvers. However, riders simply supported neighboring crews instinctively ...by amassing fire jointly on engaged targets and surveying periphery, maintaining the platoon's situational awareness. Our navodchik was unfamiliar with terrain and radio station placement, early in the battle. That coupled with the Red Army's irregularity and confusion heralded an early blitzkrieg for the Axis side. After our officers were situated and artillery observer briefed, we managed a stunning early counter attack (personally the best round of BDJ I've ever plaid) bringing the battle to a stalemate. Celebrations were short-lived as the Wehrmacht reinforcements soon arrived, utilizing their heavy tanks to the utmost. They pressed along the lines until our men were in full retreat.
The 3rd Shock, 3rd SS and Right to Rebel were in attendance as well as members from 4 other clans and some serious public players. It was a 4-1 victory for the Germans. Top Scores as promised...
For all who attended ... thanks for the fight and see you next week.

lol, by that round the server had slimmed down to half full (not as many krauts to kill, points to earn). Rounds 2 and 3 were hard fought. ... definitely would like to see a repeat. I'll admit, other times (1st and 4th rounds) we had our asses handed to us.

We'll be hosting a public scrimmage on 9PM GMT/ 4PM EST (EU and NA friendly) Sundays. The first one is on 2-25 and will be a best of 3 match on the latest version of Berezina (added deployable anti tank guns). As usual, mutators will be set and high scores posted in the forums. The server of coarse will be fully admined. I've been itching to try this map in a public scrim for a good while. Berezina used to provide quite the battle in its earlier days but now it seems like you're always playing with either a Soviet team keen on precipitous withdrawal or a timid Axis side. Expect an epic battle!
