Trying the other side

A few of my Battleground squad decided to try out the Axis side instead of allied for the current campaign. As I’ve never played the other side I thought I’d give it a go, so I’ve joined them for the current game campaign.

First impressions were of massive confusion, I tried shooting German’s which obviously didn’t work as I am one. I kept panicking when I heard the noise of a 232 armoured car or a panzer tank, as I’ve only just learned to recognise them. It also was a while before I could spot allied soldiers quickly as I wasn’t used to looking for the same uniform’s or flashes of colour in the corner of my eye.

French Army Rank 8 – Randomness

Lontan Rolls my rideAn update today on my Battleground Europe progress. I’ve managed to hit French Army Rank 8 by doing all kinds of random missions and using anything from my trusty Rifleman to an ATG (Anti Tank Gun). Rank 8 however, doesn’t provide me with anything other than a change to my badge so there’s no new equipment to talk about today.

Instead I’ve decided to give you all a quick run down of the kinds of things I’ve been up to in Battleground Europe since my last post. Some amusing, some strange and many rides in the trusty Laffy transport truck.

Squad night & Bombing Kills at last

On Sunday night I took part in the Hussars squad night again, I try to make Sunday the one night a week I’m always on BE so I can join in with the squad.

We decided to hit the factories as we’ve done before only this time with 3 trucks to split all our sappers up between factories. We flew from Mendig to Essen with Igor as the pilot once again, avoiding AI on the way and hoping enemy fighters were not there to meet us.

Factory Sapping and multiple ranks

How I made air rank 2Since my last post, a lot seems to have happened in the world of Battleground Europe, at least for me. I finally hit rank 2 in the air force and the navy!

The pic to the left shows how I gained rank in the air force, well completed the first rank. I needed about 50 points for rank 2 and so I spent a while bombing bridges with attack orders on. Each bridge bombed gives you 30 points and although it did take some time (my bombing needs work), I managed to get my rank. Rank 2 doesn’t actually give you anything else that I can see as most of the new planes come at rank 3. I also achieved a new rank in the navy by playing as navy infantry mostly, though I did spend some time hunting tanks from a river in a Fairmile (small attack vessel).

Rank 4 and new weapons

Kills with my light machine gun That’s right, I have reached the heady heights of rank 4 in Battleground Europe! It has taken me a while (Ffaffner got there first ;) ), but I’ve managed it.

I get a few new classes to choose from at rank 4 but I can’t tell you what they are, rather than look at the new classes I’m still trying out some I gained at rank 3.

The main 2 classes I have tried over the last week or so have been LMG (Light Machine Gun) and Bofors (AA gun).

Battlefield tales from the 3rd rank

On the vehicle spawn - battleground europeWell it’s happened! My trial is over and Battleground Europe is the next MMO to take my money from me!

That’s right, along with Ffaffner and Sres from here at MMO Symposium I’m now a paid up BE player. Wodge also had a shot at the trial but as he’s a bit of a graphics nut I reckon that’s the reason I haven’t seen him in game.

I like to have a PvP (Player Vs Player) game for my 2nd MMO to EQ2 and BE fits the bill well for me. It also helps that the squad I joined are a good bunch and like a laugh while playing, so thanks to the Hussars for having me.
