Question Puma variants vs sloping ground

Heard a story from a mate who said he had once landed on lateral sloping ground in a Puma then not been able to get back off again due to running out of lateral cyclic. Anyone done similar? Wondering if AUM, lateral CG or crosswind were factors in any instances you've heard of. Theory goes that aircraft settled on downslope oleo as power reduced giving different conditions between landing and take off. Which then begs question as to how you apply limits...
