I'm Tinglyed, although I go by Colonel Scipio on the blogosphere. If you play Verdun, and you've ever been machine-gunned from halfway across the map you may be familiar with my Verdun name of [SB5]MG08/15. I'll give you a quick rundown of my games:
Wargaming
I already have quite an extensive blog detailing all my wargaming. I used to be big into WH40K, but now I've moved on to historical, including 2mm. We often like to run extensive, immersive sandbox campaigns like our American Civil War one a few months back.
I also have lots of Pre-Dreadnought Naval, Mordheim, WW2... you get the idea. Basically I play immersive games quite casually with mates.
Online Gaming
Online I play a bit of a mish-mash really, I have over a hundred games on Steam and I love pretty much all of them, but to summarize I mainly play historical RTS and FPS games. Two big ones are Company of Heroes 2 and Verdun.
When I'm on COH2 with the rest of the SB5 gang, I often play a support role. Lots of mortars, AAA, rear-line security troops - allowing the others to smash forwards with 'fighting troops'. My big love is artillery, and many's the time SB5 have advanced across the map under an expertly-micromanaged rolling barrage of 105 shells. Hurrah!
In Verdun, my first love is the Landser machine gunner. Before my last account was wiped I had about 35,000 kills and 350,000 rounds fired - testimony to my favored tactics of suppressing fire, or firing constantly into a gap and wait for the enemies to appear. Although I do get stuck in when needed, I'm very much a long-range gunner!
I also like to bring my love of artillery to the trenches, so if we're not playing as Landsers I often go as the officer to call in artillery. Of course this is a popular role so we have to take turns - but Coldsteel likes to play machine gunner to so mixing it up gives us all chance to play the roles.
I'll try to do some updates in the future about tactics etc, and what we're all up to.
Thanks for reading,
Tinglyed
