Took a gamble that you'd have moved your sniper at the end, xeno, but of course why would you?! I certainly wouldn't in your shoes! Would have been nice to take a few of your guys with me at least...oh well...<br /><br />Good game, all. Apologies for setting off that massive chain reaction of explosions at one point...never seen anything like it...
Peter and I weren't able to capitalise on our advantage. Rabid and Socrates convincingly broke our serve so to speak in return and now it's all even again. I think it's 6 - 6 might be 7 - 7 but even so it's back to being tied, so Rabid and Socrates to attack.
It may have done so, there was a square of wall next to where it landed but it wasn't in front just next to it and I did throw it straight. Could've veered off very slightly to the left and rested against it. But I've had a two underthrow plenty of times and three on the rare occasion. Never had a three overthrow but had a two a few times before.
Just curious to anyone's worst grenade throw. I just had one where it was a four square underthrow, I don't believe I've ever had one that bad. It was thrown so short it blew the idiot up.
Well played. Full disclosure: getting outside AQAP and then taking up sniping positions is a tactic that's worked in the past against less experienced opponents, but I should have known you'd find a way round it! Also, the execution wasn't great; in particular, I don't know what I was thinking with that smoke - it ended up helping you far more than it did me! Still, 13 out of 18 ain't bad...it just ain't quite good enough...
Ah...as soon as I saw that you'd infiltrated so close to Sterner's hiding-place I knew it was all over bar the exploding...always a gamble positioning him that close to an outer wall. Still, it was interesting battling Blobs - it's been a while...
Advance warning, dude: the family and I are heading abroad for a week after today, so depending on how good the roaming is turn-taking may be slow-to-nonexistent...
Looks like this has nearly run its course...what were you saying about this one being impossible for the attackers to win? Good thing you were up against me, eh...? ;-)<br /><br />Obviously my tactic of hiding my three starting clones in cupboards (in the hope of sneaking up behind you once battle had commenced) fell flat on its face, but either way with hindsight I should have done more to repel your attack from the right - once your guys were within nerve-gas-lobbing distance of the cloning chamber I was severely hobbled.<br /><br />Fancy "Impregnator" next, in a similar vein? Don't think I've had the pleasure of that one's acquaintance...
I made a new one as it is 5 - 5 but others have joined even though I definitely put in the names with commas as I've always done, so not sure what happened. I've just done another though.
Thanks guys. I really can't believe how I could pull that off! :) What a stroke of luck. I was very outnumbered and out skilled compared to all you, but i didn't want to give up the hunt for sterner.
I can't believe we lost that Pete, I thought we'd broken the deadlock. Fair play to Socrates, infiltrated well between our scouts/sentries. So back to all square.
So, funny story.<br />When I set about activation I was told that my other agent was already dead ha ha<br />So, theoretically at least, the defender should try to avoid killing anyone until they know who their secret agents are...
Thanks for allowing me to get my name on the scoreboard, Ether (as opposed to activating the other agent, which would presumably have ended the game several turns ago)...now do your worst...
If you need anyone to make up numbers. I've not played 4 player laboratory attack. Bit of of a vicious learning curve but count me in with marsec. If not no worries.
OK. It looks like our H2H record for that mission is 2-1 to me, so let's see if we can even things up! Tell you what: I'll accept the game you've set up, but also set up a clash in Prison Mutiny, which is certainly a mission I haven't played before...
OK, I give up - you're some kind of ninja when it comes to this mission, and I consider my lesson well and truly learnt! Feel free to choose us something else to face off in...unless you'd prefer me to choose...?
Yes, that'll be it - the angel wouldn't have been able to see Sterner at the end of Drigert's turn because Crimson was in the way. Kicking myself for not giving the angel a wider berth, as Sterner had plenty of APs left with which to do so, but one lives and learns...
I'm not sure what the problem with that was exactly, but a unit will only attack/shoot on Opportunity Fire/Overwatch against units that they can't see at the end of their turn. Maybe that might explain it?
Aaaarrgghh!!! I don't get why Pluck was able to move past that angel without being but Regnix wasn't! Perhaps it was because Crimson was blocking Sterner's view of it at the start of my turn and it was therefore able to "move"...?<br /><br />Anyway, I've just accepted that game with the swapped sides, Drogert - let's see how that plays out...
Do you fancy swapping sides to see if you fare any better with agent-activation than I did as the defending side? After my own activation failed so miserably, it felt like ultimate failure was essentially a foregone conclusion...
Good win Rabid. I was down to a group of men with 1 gun with 1 bullet...After a while it was just him alone, last shot fired and only a grenade out in the open and the damaged cpu ticking...
You're Stellar's Rambo. I gave you the medal: Played the campaign alone: A One Man Goddamn Slaughterhouse. <br /><br />Anyone that hitches up with you is in for a ride.
We seem to be very active now. How about a lab tournament? I suggested this many years ago and we had one. It was 2 v 2 and four teams playing "home and away" and the winners going to a final. So only needs eight members. Form a duo. I always play with Peter, don't have to, but we are close Stellar mates and our default. Chris and Slayer play often together. I think the last winner many years back was a Jono? and his pal. But just team up with someone. Currently playing an assassination tournament with Rabid and Socrates. 4 - 4 so far. Campaigns are too heavy for me now but a little tournament is good fun.
It was changed a couple of years ago so that a player would win with 5 kills, to avoid the mission getting bogged down trying to find the last few men, and make it all a lot quicker.
