This is an other video of Men of War Multiplayer Beta. Once again this is an infantry only battle. As you can see this battle happened at a different time of the day as the previous videos. The game randomizes the time of the day and the weather each time you play giving some welcome visual diversity in luminosity.
The action starts as my riflemans rush toward the central hill and if you look carefully you can see a horde of german soldiers rushing toward the same hill. Fortunately, my rifleman had the time to build up a first line of sandbags before the firefight begins.
This strategic sandbags line would become the center of the front. I was in charge of holding it, but most of the action actually happened on the flanks. You could expect the center to be the hot point of the battlefield, the reality isn't so because of the difficulty to make frontal assault.
On the other hand, the main challenge of being in the center isn't so much holding against enemies charges, but more the fact that you become a target from all side of the front. this is why sandbags are your best friends. Since your are under fire from all side it is clear that your soldiers will remain pinned down most of the time and they most likely will be targeted by, heavy machine gun, cannon, mortar, sniper fire, etc. Sandbags provide you hard cover against most of those weapons.
This mean that the best way to hold your line, is to go prone without trying to fire back. Doing so has multiple advantages, your enemies will waste ammo, your soldiers will be "safe" and they are available to get back behind those sandbags to push back any direct assault.
Later on in the game I finally got mortar support and it really did push back the enemies away from the central position. The hill also provided a safe cover to the mortar making it impossible to destroy by cannons or sniper fire and the mortar indirect fire make it the ultimate infantry combat weapon. But while the central front was more or less static and that this game started as a 8 vs 8 players.
The game when on and we lost 4 players for diverse reason and it soon became a 4 vs 8. Which is what made this battle even harder. While we did manage to take advantage of the relief early on, the lack of players in our team leaded to hard fights on the flanks. The left flank got overrun by the enemies soon to be followed by the right flank. At that point I was still holding on to the center but out number by mortars and cannons combine with the expected charge, we were to be push back. In a vain effort my mortar fire in every direction killing many enemies but was soon to be destroyed by enemies mortar fire.
Finally forced out of the center the only remaining option for us was to try to reform a front line by trying to push back the left flank that was held by a cannon. I send a squad of SMG and managed to kill most of the outpost soldiersof the outpost soldiers and the cannon but resulted with the sacrifice of my own squad. My squad was soon to be follow by a ranger / assault group that finished the remaining outpost soldiers. The enemies had reinforcements nearby and using the truck to kill a few rangers combined with heavy fire from all direction the rangers didn't lasted long.
Finally out of time, resource and artillery of anykind, we tried to prevent encirclement but were forced to pull back due to the number of cannons aiming toward us and this is how we were defeated, outnumbered and outgunned but still alive, which was a victory in a way. =)
