Campaign T Minus...

I'd quite like to finish a couple of games. But it's not a big deal

Game 44892: xeno, petermock, Spacenaut, Hokunda in 'Colonization 4 - Pleasure Dome'

I have no clue what happened during last turn. Xeno came from nowhere and Spacenout's engineer has disappeared. I don't feel luck this time. I predict xeno's victory.

Campaign T Minus...

Thanks Steve. That's okay Rabid, credit for owning up as it were :) Perhaps I'm being a bit anal but if stats didn't mean anything we wouldn't have so many, most people like them, so although no biggie of course, I don't necessarily want them distorted either.

Campaign T Minus...

Sorry xeno, I think those concedes were my fault, I had a bunch of games the day after the campaign end and cancelled them all. :-)

Campaign T Minus...

Fine with me Steve!

Campaign T Minus...

I'm ok with that Steve.

Campaign T Minus...

I'll knock them off your concede list. Does anyone have any objections if I cancel all outstanding campaign games?

Campaign T Minus...

Steve. Two of my campaign games was conceded because they went past the 3 day rule AFTER the campaign finished, I suppose that is wrongly recorded in my stats as two concedes?

Game 45054: Cpt Fishmonger, Chris1977 in 'Crash Site'

In my defence it&#39;s my first time playing as ambassador. Still, crash being the operative word!<br />On to the next and enjoy your camping

Campaign T Minus...

Congrats chaps.<br />Everyone is welcome to come round to Metalix&#39;s tea and cake emporium.

Game 45054: Cpt Fishmonger, Chris1977 in 'Crash Site'

All set up. Please bear in mind, though, that I&#39;m camping over the weekend, so gameplay may be slow-to-non-existent between now and Monday...!

Campaign T Minus...

Lab 2v2 was always good, played &quot;home and away&quot;, winners going through to the next round.

Campaign T Minus...

Thanks guys! Enjoyed that one!! I was losing ground towards the end.

Campaign T Minus...

congrats Rabid

Campaign T Minus...

Is there any statistics for this campaign?

Campaign T Minus...

Peter, what new missions? Have I forgotten something?

Campaign T Minus...

Yes, congrats to Rabid &amp; Rob! Good campaign, I enjoyed it even though we struggled to survive. <br /><br />HC: I used to do organise competitions for SF years ago, using <a href="https://challonge.com/">https://challonge.com/</a> .

Game 45054: Cpt Fishmonger, Chris1977 in 'Crash Site'

Well, THAT was all over rather too quickly...rematch defo on the cards, methinks...

Campaign T Minus...

Maybe we could start up a knock-out tournament of a map, if anyone else fancies it?

Campaign T Minus...

Yes, well played Rabid. As explosively inventive as ever!

Campaign T Minus...

We could try 3 months for the next one? Only we need more smaller missions and how about those new missions Steve?

Campaign T Minus...

Congratulations Rabid and Robsraiders!

Campaign T Minus...

Just about to equip for 5 missions but no point then. First campaign I didn&#39;t see as a slog but we said 2 months so fine. Congrats Rabid and Robsraiders.

Campaign T Minus...

CORRECTION TODAY is the end! I just found it in the posting. 21st June is the end. But is it now or midnight GMT the final moment?

Campaign T Minus...

I think the campaign started on the April 22nd. Tomorrow would make it 2 months by the calendar date. I think... I hope... But I am happy to have Friday 22nd June 2018 the end of the Campaign.

Campaign T Minus...

The fact I ran out of units yesterday has nothing to do with this question.... honest. (!)

Campaign T Minus...

The campaign has been going for 61 days now. When are we saying the 2 month deadline is? :)

Game 44972: Chris1977, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Rebelstar Alien Hordes'

Okay I&#39;ll set up a new map

Game 44895: Cpt Fishmonger, EvilDick, Chris1977, SteveSmith in 'Meltdown 4-Player'

They&#39;re pretty nasty...

Game 44892: xeno, petermock, Spacenaut, Hokunda in 'Colonization 4 - Pleasure Dome'

All is ok Hokunda. If it helps my engineers are so encumbered by their heavy armour they will never make the journey to your base!

Game 44895: Cpt Fishmonger, EvilDick, Chris1977, SteveSmith in 'Meltdown 4-Player'

I forgot that computer will explode...

Game 44892: xeno, petermock, Spacenaut, Hokunda in 'Colonization 4 - Pleasure Dome'

Sorry for generating bad feelings in you. I was joking. I know it is a common strategy to pick an opponent and get rid of him quickly. Now I am the chosen one. I immidiately lost my blaster before I had a chance to use it, so my level of formidability is decreased.

Game 44892: xeno, petermock, Spacenaut, Hokunda in 'Colonization 4 - Pleasure Dome'

Hokunda I like your presence. Why say I don&#39;t? As an opponent you have been formidable so there&#39;s a combination of respect but also challenge. So I have learnt a fair amount from you. I only don&#39;t like losing too frequently but the answer to that is for me to play better.

Game 44892: xeno, petermock, Spacenaut, Hokunda in 'Colonization 4 - Pleasure Dome'

I wish Zap the best. I hope he is well now. I don&#39;t ride bikes but I fell off from a scooter and spent a few months recovering from the injuries.<br />I have a feeling that you don&#39;t like my presence too much. I receive blasts from both sides. It is my destiny. :)

Game 44998: SteveSmith, RABID in 'Hit and Run 3 - Rescue from the Mines'

You overestimated my abilities! I ran out of ammo!!

Game 44998: SteveSmith, RABID in 'Hit and Run 3 - Rescue from the Mines'

Well played. I expected an autoshot in the back as soon as I tried to get to the exit.

Game 45011: petermock, Henry's Cat in 'Moonbase Clash'

We&#39;ve all been there!

Game 45010: petermock, Henry's Cat in 'Crash Site'

Nicely done, I&#39;d spotted the ambassador once or twice, but he&#39;s escaped to spoil all guests to his residence with popular, crunchy chocolate confectionary

Game 45011: petermock, Henry's Cat in 'Moonbase Clash'

Haha! Just blew myself up with AP100 falling too short.

Game 45010: petermock, Henry's Cat in 'Crash Site'

First win as the ambassador for a very long time. That run south was very stressful!

Game 45010: petermock, Henry's Cat in 'Crash Site'

First win as the ambassador for a very long time. That run south was very stressful!

Game 44982: RABID, Henry's Cat in 'The Assassins - New House'

I was lucky with that one, you had me :-)

Game 44972: Chris1977, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Rebelstar Alien Hordes'

Well that was a car crash! Over to you fella...

Game 44982: RABID, Henry's Cat in 'The Assassins - New House'

I quite forgot that I was meant to keep Sterner alive in that one, there was no need to detonate him

Game 44984: sztomi1981, xeno in 'Denunciation'

Well played, deserved win. You kept your men well hidden, I got too blase and put them out in the open, you killed about 5 in a row!

Campaign T Minus...

Clear

Campaign T Minus...

Whoever owns the sector even in mid battle gets the score at the deadline time. But you can continue to play the unfinished games for personal satisfaction. We always do.

Game 44892: xeno, petermock, Spacenaut, Hokunda in 'Colonization 4 - Pleasure Dome'

Always happy to play against/with you Hokunda! My level of play is more relaxed but see how it goes. I was sad to see Nanowars go. It was in need of more work but I was fond of it. Zap I got to know really well through email but later he stopped contact. He was about to move back to Ireland with a new job after a long peroid off recovering from motorbike accident. So it was good know he was getting his life back in order. Looks like I made a blunder and probably selected auto equip.

Campaign T Minus...

What will be with not finished battles on deadline of campaign. Will be they calculated as drawn, or we will have chance to play them until the end?

Game 44892: xeno, petermock, Spacenaut, Hokunda in 'Colonization 4 - Pleasure Dome'

Hello Peter, I am moving from my old phone to my new one and started checking all of my applications. I found that Nanowars is abandoned, but Stellar Forces is still alive. Why not join a game? After a few years of stop, I guess I will be an easy frag. :)<br />I chose techno armour for my engineers and I have them.

Game 44892: xeno, petermock, Spacenaut, Hokunda in 'Colonization 4 - Pleasure Dome'

Hi everyone, my engineers all have medium armour applied but I never chose this. Anyone else have the same?

Game 44892: xeno, petermock, Spacenaut, Hokunda in 'Colonization 4 - Pleasure Dome'

Hokunda welcome back! How are you?

Game 44986: RABID, petermock in 'Crash Site'

I did spot the ambassador for one turn but couldn&#39;t get a shot due to all the small blocks. Nerve gas was well placed.

Game 44986: RABID, petermock in 'Crash Site'

Thanks Pete! Nerve gas is very useful in that mission!!

Game 44986: RABID, petermock in 'Crash Site'

Good win Rabid, excellent technique.

Game 44535: xeno, petermock, free palestine., henoh in 'Small Underground Colony'

2 men killed on opp fire facing enemy. Says on log they were shot by two units that were seen. Yet they didn&#39;t fire once. Really annoying.

Game 44972: Chris1977, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Rebelstar Alien Hordes'

Have accepted.

Game 44972: Chris1977, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Rebelstar Alien Hordes'

Doh forgot to add you to the game.<br />It&#39;s the stardrive map currently open to anyone

Game 44972: Chris1977, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Rebelstar Alien Hordes'

Glad to see my tactic paid off ie suicide alien sets off chain reaction. <br />I&#39;ll set up a rematch using a different map.

Game 44972: Chris1977, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Rebelstar Alien Hordes'

Damn barrels! Well, there isn&#39;t much point continuing this one...feel free to set up something completely different...

Game 44771: xeno, EvilDick, Cpt Fishmonger, petermock in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player CC-Only'

Outhouses Planning Permission Refused, Hideout We know Where you are and Assassins Tunnels I&#39;m going to get you Sterner for sleeping with my wife.

Game 44771: xeno, EvilDick, Cpt Fishmonger, petermock in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player CC-Only'

I got stuck with Sigma 7 in double figures. I still have Meltdown nightmares from the last Campaign. 22 times I played the attackers no idea how many defending. Tale of Two Moonbases was the other one. Please Steve more Outhouses etc. We need new tiny missions that none of us have played. Just tweak Outhouse game conditions and make a new mission out of it.

Game 44771: xeno, EvilDick, Cpt Fishmonger, petermock in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player CC-Only'

I&#39;ve been playing assassinate and especially meltdown the last few days, with only one or two others. Become very good at defending in Meltdown but getting boring now. I seem to be defending so much I rarely get chance to attack for once.

Game 44771: xeno, EvilDick, Cpt Fishmonger, petermock in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player CC-Only'

Cheers, I&#39;ve been put off by repeating excessively big missions I don&#39;t like so much. Need more Outhouses, Assassins Tunnels, Hideout, Assassinate etc to make it fun again.

Game 44771: xeno, EvilDick, Cpt Fishmonger, petermock in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player CC-Only'

Admire your honesty as usual Pete. :D

Game 44771: xeno, EvilDick, Cpt Fishmonger, petermock in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player CC-Only'

It&#39;s me that&#39;s been slacking.

Game 44771: xeno, EvilDick, Cpt Fishmonger, petermock in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player CC-Only'

I&#39;m on it.

Game 44771: xeno, EvilDick, Cpt Fishmonger, petermock in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player CC-Only'

Hey fellow Globex, we are losing sectors undefended! I can&#39;t defend anymoe as I&#39;m fully committed.

Game 44771: xeno, EvilDick, Cpt Fishmonger, petermock in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player CC-Only'

Metalix. <br />We don&#39;t war all that well but we throw a spiffing tea party.

Game 44771: xeno, EvilDick, Cpt Fishmonger, petermock in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player CC-Only'

Of course. We are Metalix corporation. We share tea and cakes...

Game 44771: xeno, EvilDick, Cpt Fishmonger, petermock in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player CC-Only'

Bring it to my side. I have lots of tea and cakes available

Game 44771: xeno, EvilDick, Cpt Fishmonger, petermock in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player CC-Only'

Easy to get confused in this chaos. It&#39;s like getting turned around in the wilderness. Don&#39;t leave the path...

Game 44771: xeno, EvilDick, Cpt Fishmonger, petermock in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player CC-Only'

The opposite from where you started. But only if you can remember that. It&#39;s happened to me before in this mission.

Game 44771: xeno, EvilDick, Cpt Fishmonger, petermock in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player CC-Only'

...in this mess I forgot on which side I must bring the flag

Game 44923: Spacenaut, EvilDick in 'The Assassins'

Oops

Campaign T Minus...

thats the alliance i was talking about previously

Game 44777: Cpt Fishmonger, RABID, EvilDick, Spacenaut in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player'

Ha ha no way.<br />Easiest win ever then!

Game 44777: Cpt Fishmonger, RABID, EvilDick, Spacenaut in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player'

Yeah, flag is transferred through my goal.

Game 44777: Cpt Fishmonger, RABID, EvilDick, Spacenaut in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player'

If I knew that I would have gone for a flanking strategy with a small outpost in the middle

Game 44777: Cpt Fishmonger, RABID, EvilDick, Spacenaut in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player'

I&#39;ve yet to win a flag game but, yes, you need to head to the opposite side.<br /><br />That still wouldn&#39;t account for evildick winning though.

Game 44777: Cpt Fishmonger, RABID, EvilDick, Spacenaut in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player'

Yeah it is weird, does one need to escape to the other side or to the side of ones homebase? I got confused when I got the &quot;You lost&quot; message at the end of the turn.

Game 44777: Cpt Fishmonger, RABID, EvilDick, Spacenaut in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player'

*You = 7

Game 44777: Cpt Fishmonger, RABID, EvilDick, Spacenaut in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player'

Spacenaut killed 10<br />Me 8<br />you <br /><br />Plus spacenaut escaped with the flag.<br />*scratches head*

Game 44777: Cpt Fishmonger, RABID, EvilDick, Spacenaut in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player'

Maybe I killed most units?

Game 44777: Cpt Fishmonger, RABID, EvilDick, Spacenaut in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player'

Good game nonetheless

Game 44777: Cpt Fishmonger, RABID, EvilDick, Spacenaut in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player'

Think it should have been spacenaut but it&#39;s crediting you - one for Steve to look into?

Game 44878: RABID, SteveSmith in 'The Exterminators'

Me too! I was low on ammo by the end...

Game 44777: Cpt Fishmonger, RABID, EvilDick, Spacenaut in 'Capture the F.L.A.G. 4-Player'

I won the game?

Game 44878: RABID, SteveSmith in 'The Exterminators'

I really enjoyed that game, even if I did lose! :)

Game 44849: RABID, Henry's Cat in 'Meltdown'

Ah. Fair enough :-)

Game 44849: RABID, Henry's Cat in 'Meltdown'

I conceded, I only had 2 men left

Game 44828: Henry's Cat, xeno in 'Moonbase Assault - Campaign Version'

Thanks it&#39;s a tough mission, I think it&#39;s the first time I&#39;ve won it in this campaign

Campaign T Minus...

Crafty!! :-)

Campaign T Minus...

So, my cunning plan is eventually coming to fruition. By tactically losing to Rabid&#39;s blue forces, albeit over the course of several weeks, I&#39;ve simultaneously formed a line in behind Metallix affording protection from Rabid. Go Marsec! Retreat for victory!

Game 44839: RABID, xeno in 'Moonbase Assault - Campaign Version'

Thanks! Good game!!

Game 44839: RABID, xeno in 'Moonbase Assault - Campaign Version'

Oh dear, I mentioned to HC earlier that he had been the first to defeat me playing the attackers, now two in a row. People getting used to my tactics. Well p!ayed.

Game 44849: RABID, Henry's Cat in 'Meltdown'

I have no idea why I won that one! :-)

Game 44849: RABID, Henry's Cat in 'Meltdown'

Well, I ballsed that one up, actually I&#39;m on a bad run, what with Outhouses too. Well done, as ever!

Game 44860: Spacenaut, SteveSmith in 'Assassinate - Campaign Version'

Lol yeah the blaster + AP100 Grenade combo is a good substitute for the autocannon.

Game 44828: Henry's Cat, xeno in 'Moonbase Assault - Campaign Version'

Good win HC, difficult as the attackers, and the first time I&#39;ve lost defending in this campaign.
