Yep, One of those rounds. Lemme paint a picture...

Karellia, Assault. Defending. My tank, M22 Locus, top of the pile. XVM gives me a 22% chance of winning. < Not that I care.

Countdown hits zero, and the vague plan is head South West, maybe scout along the bottom of the ridge at H5 and head East. Got to the bottom of the ridge at the South Western edge and suddenly felt very exposed to the ridge. In a panic, thinking I was screwed, caught between snipers on the ridge and tanks rolling around the corner, I took the only logical course of action...

BANZAI!!! Charge headlong around the corner, and light up as many as I could before my inevitable firey demise.

Cue Benny Hill Music.

Charged around the corner, multiple enemies light up (sorry, too busy running to my "doom" to count), took a shot at the first one, kept moving, reload done, take another couple of pot shots on the run, zigging and zagging like my life depended on it (which funny enough...), just passing the AFK'er, took 2 shots at him, ammo rack the 2nd hit. Now realised that I had the enemies two slowest, and heaviest tanks now following me back from the flank I'd just charged though. Stand and fight? Hell no, supports miles away wondering what the hell this crack head in the M22 thinks he's doing. Charge into the back of the enemies other flank, thats the idea.

Pro Tip:- Mini maps. You see red charge though from the other flank, expect it behind you.

Parked beside the rearmost TD, and shot crap out of anything in front of me not green (thats important when your behind enemy lines), then finnished off Mr oblivious beside me. Friendly light fast mover now joins me (still wondering when the smoke will apear to notice who or what apart from "red ones must die"), seeing as I just cleared his front, so we both roll (sprint like mad nuts) back at the two who were STILL trying to take bloody revenge on me. Circle fought both to death, then rolled back towards what was left of the flank I'd initially charged though.

Results:- 13-0 Assault team dead. Most never clearing the bottom half of the map. Scout and confederate, 3 kills.

Moral of the story:- Sometimes Offence is the best Defence. Watch your mini map. Never surrender, even when you think your really REALLY screwed. Jink, Jink because your life depends on it.
