Game 53797: Chris1977, SammuS in 'The Angels of Death'

Thanks for the game. The key when your units are Angels is to use the smoke to try and manoeuvre yourself into a position where you're in the square next to an enemy unit and no-one is looking at you, thereby allowing you to attack. Of course, it's purely a matter of luck where the smoke will be on each of your turns, so if you can form a kind of ring aound the enemy that will maximise your chances of successfully taking an opportunity if and when it arises.

Great stuff; thanks again, Steve. :-) It looks like everyone/thing else is unaffected by this rollback (certainly including my and xeno's deployment/mpvements), so hopefully a delay in proceedings of a couple of days will be the worst the other players will experience. Will re-equip and get going again ASAP; am also thinking a financial reward from me for everything you do for the SF community is long overdue...

I mean the www.stellarforces.com webpage for that game; sorry for the sloppy terminology. It does sound like I managed to overwrite my selections somehow... Anyway, as to what to do about it, given that there are three other people affected, I think we should take a vote: to roll back or not to roll back, folks?

Game 53760: xeno, hansolo, Gooey Blob, Chris1977 in 'Moonbase Assault 2v2'

Hi Chris, bad news I'm afraid, there's no db records of any equipment for your units (as I suspected, otherwise it would show them) so nothing I can do directly. Do you want me to revert the game back to the equip stage and see if that fixes it? I might as well as you can't really play unarmed.

Steve, help! I spent ages selecting stuff for my guys on the webapp, and it all still seemed to be there when I ran the client in order to deploy them. Now, though, I go to take my first turn and they haven't got a bean! If this had been a one-to-one, I might have just shrugged and carried on anyway, but doing so here isn't fair to xeno. Is there any way of restoring my gear without making everyone else restart, or is a rollback the only option?

Posted by Chris1977 25 days ago

Game 53766: Dijon_p, Chris1977 in 'All Seeing Eye'

Oh well, that was kind of Karmic (playing as the Psychic I'd literally taken advantage of a Cleaner's shot not being on-target at that exact same point), so I can't complain. Definitely still worth the gamble, though...

Posted by Chris1977 26 days ago

Game 53759: Chris1977, hansolo in 'All Seeing Eye'

Thank you. :-) Against a lot of opponents, killing on of the Cleaners is enough, because it takes them a while to suss out that they can't close off all the Psychic's avenues of escape one man down. But that was some clever positioning on your part, which meant it came down to the knife-edge question of whether your no.3 could get off one on-target shot through a narrow gap. Luckily for me, that wasn't the case!

Game 53742: Chris1977, Gooey Blob in 'Cabin in the Woods'

The direct approach is what has worked for me in the past! But like I say that's usually because I've been up against residents who are trying to be sneaky rather than brazening it out, so there's been no need for sneakiness myself! I guess I should have been more alive (as it were) to the fact that your tactic was working and altered my own gameplay, rather than just assuming you'd ultimately be overwhelmed by my sheer numbers (which of course you weren't, because you were consistently effective in keeping those numbers down). In short, your lesson is learnt!

Posted by Chris1977 30 days ago

Game 53742: Chris1977, Gooey Blob in 'Cabin in the Woods'

You were very direct as in heading straight for my team and not using cover. Which to your credit is how a zombie would fight. Knives and one precious sword helped. I play for fun. Mostly I lose.

Posted by Gooey Blob 31 days ago

Game 53742: Chris1977, Gooey Blob in 'Cabin in the Woods'

Nope, no good came of that for the zombies... I've played this mission several times as both the zombies and the residents. The "strategy" for the former, such as there is one, is just "be relentless", but for some reason it had never occurred to me (nor anyone else I've seen play that side, seemingly) how effective simply taking the fight to the former (as opposed to hiding/running away) could be for the latter. I can?t believe that you won every one of your hand-to-hand encounters, for example! Oh well, you've taught me something valuable here - cheers. :-)

Some seriously good luck towards the end there (autoshots miraculously on-target when your opp-fires weren't, etc.), but also sometimes what seems like the most obvious, knuckleheaded strategy (in this case, just rushing the exit en masse!) is worth a punt... Good game nevertheless; cheers.

Grenade underthrow

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.

Grenade underthrow

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.
