HOORAH! We have stopped the Axis advance! A final foray into our lines was conducted by their 506th Blitzkrieg (Stormtrooper44) and 669th Blitzkrieg (Noobasaurus69) divisions divisions in which they did best our 18th Armour (AceOfVodka) and 420th Infantry (pinkyclown) divisions divisions. Still, this was a lost cause as our recent victories have allowed us to counter-attack in full force. Already we are assaulting their positions on all fronts! Onward towards Berlin!

I'm not sure what the bit in italics is saying, seems to be a problem with whatever sytem is used to generate the reports.

It makes complete sense except for the repition of the divisions. Basically saying, despite the allied players losing that battle we have stopped the advance.

it is in wordy English  Cheesy, "in which they did best" means "In which they beat" (The final foray)

I fixed the grammar.  Thanks for pointing this out.  Please don't hesitate to point out other bugs/error that you might see. Smiley  Even if it's just poor English. =P
