After previous attempts ended in failure (see eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjuBJfzKT5M), we got some very helpful advice from CommandoKai, and stayed in control of the map this time around. Video quality is poor up to 25:30ish as I wasn’t recording (!) and had to grab footage from Twitch; gg me.

In need of a bigger challenge, we bumped up the difficulty as Axis. German fortitude prevailed, but it was a rather different experience for bertieb and Costello…

We tried a different arena – Mirror Crystal Cavern Hideout. Significantly different in the enemies it throws at you, and the reflecting crystals mix things up too. Now, if we can just get past Wave 18…

“Lots of people to kill”, as aujt74 says at the start of the stream. Or another, more accurate way of looking at it would be ‘Lots of people to kill us’.

My intention was to do a quick achievement run to unlock the Red-Tail. The achievement part went okay, nut the ‘quick’ bit didn’t really come to pass. Thanks to Commandokai (http://www.twitch.tv/commandokai) for being such a trooper and staying up late to advise!

We gave a different Wasteland server a try. When it rebooted, bertieb got spawned near a tank base. Oho yes. That the tanks were unfuelled presented only minor difficulties… But first, we have to fight at night.
