• Nice shooting... that's going to leave a mark.

• Just to let you know about one of the subtleties of the game, one of my unit's saw your #2 prime a grenade, so I get informed of it. :)

• Sharp eyesight, heh. That grenade was supposed to be coming your way, but I made a mistake planning and didn't have enough AP to throw it... good thing the warning message was there, or I'd have primed it to go off right away and blown myself up!

• Heh, we've all been there. And so much for opportunity fire always hitting its target!

• I think that my guys would have more luck aiming at the walls, some times.

• Hmm... I heard you coming up the corridor, yet still didn't get a shot off before you killed me! A bit worrying, really. Could you hear me breathing, or something? :p

• I thought it was strange that he didn't shoot. I take it he had more that half his APs remaining at the end of your turn? If so, I'll have a go at recreating it.

• Yup, full APs and a fully loaded heavy weapon... he'd been sat there since the beginning, waiting for someone to poke their head around the corner. Maybe he was daydreaming... is there a hidden "paying attention" stat that you've not told us about? lol

• ...feel free to recreate it by dropping your weapons and walking through a few doors, nice and slowly ;)

• I've had a look, and I'm afraid to report that your unit was using a "machine clip" (i.e. ammo clip). I suppose he could have tried to poke it in my unit's eye or something. ;)

• Ha! Or at least thrown it at you. Honestly, amateurs...

• I think the idea is to throw the grenade DOWN the corridor, not just drop it at your feet. I guess he was scared so I should cut him some slack...

• Oh, in the back! What a way to go. Thanks for a fun game! (and I'm not just saying that because I won, all this stalking around in corridors is highly entertaining)
  Managed to protect most of the computers, so yay. How many of Derman's shots while he was chasing Anderson did you hear?

• Hmm, as in "ah, there you are!". Quite exhausted by the time he caught up.

• I can't say I heard any of them, very sneaky, and very well played! I don't think the left-hand area of the map has seen that much action before. I was a bit annoyed with myself as I loaded up on smoke grenades but completely forgot to use them and just blundered into the centre with no cover. Great game though.
