Episode 8:
Darjeeling seems to have come as a guest to Pravda - the British are friendly with the Russians? Battle in the snow! 15 vs. 6 looks even more unfair than the match with Saunders of 10 vs. 5. At least the Oorai team isn't against something like a Firefly tank this time, and those T-34 seem to have thin armour because they are easily white flagged. Oorai team becomes surrounded and the StuG is crippled. I wonder how Miho would get them out of this situation? The last scene reminds me of how the german 9th army was surrounded and outnumbered by the russians during WWII.

I think the poor planning and command was not entirely Miho's fault. If you look at the long term, letting kids have little fun and also forcing them to swallow a bitter pill for reckless playing can be a good thing for the team in the long run. Miho chose to let the teammates have some fun and thought that if they lose, they will all become better for that loss. Beside, they were inferior in number and quality in all sorts of way thus she probably thought that all her planning and bossing around would not make enough of a difference. The trouble is for Oorai, there is no tomorrow. If Miho and everyone knew that, it is highly likely Miho's plan be different and others be more receptive to Miho's plan and command.
So, now they have 3 hours. They would need to do some repairs first. I would also consider exploring that huge house to check for alternate route of escape. If one can be found, I would try to punch through the escape route and penetrate the envelopment.

For people who are saying the Tiger won't be showing up...
Well, its not a written rule that participating teams cannot maintain an element of surprise Just as there are no rules stating that Saunders cannot utilize radio-interception. Although I do doubt we'll be seeing the Tiger, though. - Tak

Though that transport would probably be this: Spoiler for GIGANT!:
But Darjeeling is a cool oneesama-type. I like Too bad they didn't broadcast the semi-finals between them and BFP. That being said, Miho's comrades, despite numerous encounters, constant training & practice, have yet to ascend from the amateur stage. Truly a shame. - Tak

A Firefly is a dangerous tank, but it has the same armor as a regular Sherman so at least it's not that hard to knock out. An IS-2 is a much tougher opponent. And really, unless you have a lot of armor, the T-34/85s aren't really less of a threat than a Firefly. For a tank to be allowed into the competition, it would have to be put into the team roster. On the storytelling side, the Porsche Tiger shouldn't be a total surprise: they should have shown it in the background while sprucing up the Char B1 bis or something. Ooarai is in a horrible position, but they currently still have the resources to eke out a victory.

Miho, who had personal experience against Pravda probably should have briefed everyone in the beginning how her adversaries would act. Though as much as people like to blame her, the student council has this terrible habit of hijacking her commanding position. This is an issue that had not been ironed out. But after 8 episodes, you'd think they resolved the communications problem. - Tak

I'm really hoping that one of the OVAs will be the St. Gloriana - Kuromorimine match. Or maybe it'll be supplemented in the manga like the Anzio match.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Pravda's emblem is (other than the obvious parody) a T-square ruler, an L-square ruler, and a compass? Not really sure what the tool on the left is. |

I am a bit glad that Miho won't have to pay for her indecisiveness with the blood of others... she isn't even likely to see Oarai lose and forced to disband, as good a lesson as that may be. The only things that she would need to overcome as having been disowned and having to live up to what it means to command.
(I seen what survivor's guilt and the weight of command did firsthand... this colonel of ROC that I knew from WW2 lost 450+/500 men, survived. The defeat meant he saw no promotion, but the worst part was that he could never live it down... what was worst to me is that that Miho screams parallel to that quiet, softspoken man...a great staff officer that cared genuinely for others, highly diligent, hated seeing people having fights...)
