Game 54731: Cpt Fishmonger, Chris1977 in 'Sterner's Revenge'

Cheers pal, that was an extremely risky gambit. All I had was Tech armour, smoke grenades and door charges - no guns. For some reason, I could have sworn all Sterner's men start on the left. Imagine my surprise when a grenade knocked out two of my men!

You did it - nice one! A headlong charge was clearly the way to go - I'll remember that should I play the Army in this mission again, and in the meantime can rue expending so many APs positioning McGruder neatly-but-pointlessly right in the bottom right-hand corner...

Game 54687: mojopin1973, Chris1977 in 'The Assassins'

I'll set up a one where a sufficiently crafty opponent (opponent meaning you) is really hard to beat. Angels are like the weeping variety in Dr Who - really fast (loads of APs), deadly in close combat and effectively indestructible, but immobile if in someone's line of sight. So your main challenge is figuring out how to get in close enough to pounce without being seen (shifting skeins of smoke being occasionally helpful in this respect)...

I felt sure you were going to win that one after I'd been so gung ho and explosives-happy (not to mention stupid, e.g. blowing one of my own guys up for no good reason)! Purely a fluke that I was able to spot Sterner, pick up a gun and loose off a few reasonably on-target shots. Do you want to set something else up? Or would you like me to choose something?

Game 54663: Chris1977, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Superhuman: Moonbase Assault'

Ah, Both of my Superhumans were wearing Super-Heavy armour, which may explain it - according to the log, your first shot did 49 damage, but there was 0 damage thereafter. Either way, it sounds like neither of us got what we were expecting at the end. And it was a deserved win by you - you had me on the ropes for most of that, and I wouldn't have been able to destroy so many of the computers and even up the unit numbers without employing a little extra sneakiness and a LOT of luck! Enjoy your jollies; speak soon.

Game 54572: Cpt Fishmonger, Chris1977, RABID, SteveSmith in 'Reanimator 4-Player'

Thanks all, that was a messy game. I deliberately set my first unit on fire (when drigert was still active) since he was screwed and wanted to act as a shield for Rabid. My final unit was on fire, I presume Steve lobbed an incendiary grenade at me. I gambled that by setting one of his cadavers on fire before I died, it might have a negative consequence for him - looks like it did! (Mental note)

@SteveSmith, I took an almighty risk effectively hiding right under the nose of one of your units (in his starting position, anyway)! Luckily (deliberately, @Cpt Fishmonger?), he was then "distracted" by one of the Cap'n's units and the action moved SW-wards, so all I had to was sit tight and hope. @RABID, I interpreted the move Steve alludes to as a deliberate act of self-sacrifice, taking as many cadavers with you as possible to give the remaining research monitors the best possible chance; is that right? Many thanks if so!

Game 54572: Cpt Fishmonger, Chris1977, RABID, SteveSmith in 'Reanimator 4-Player'

The condition here being the unit replacing a dead unit must be given a turn of grace (until the other returns fire) taking into account the AP they would use getting into position

Posted by Cpt Fishmonger 72 days ago

Game 54572: Cpt Fishmonger, Chris1977, RABID, SteveSmith in 'Reanimator 4-Player'

Another option is unit-by-unit having a duel. One unit stands at the far left of that massive corridor at the top, and one at the far right. Each turn a player gets to take an aimed (or two if they have the AP) shot at the opponent, and vice versa. When one unit is dead, another player takes their place. Rinse and repeat until there is one unit left

Posted by Cpt Fishmonger 72 days ago

RABID, do you have an opinion on whether to cancel? We COULD fight it out on a "psychic" basis (ability to see each other's positions on the scanner/Details screen. On the one hand, this would be a bit unfair to the Cap'n, given that he has the least remaining "skin" in the game; on the other, regardless of who was the last team standing I guess we'd ALL be due some league points at Drigert's expense given that we're all on the oppositeside to him.

The only option is the one you've selected, to remove a player that's taking too long. Normally the game would cancel if all the players of one side disappeared, but due to the nature of this mission where everyone is technically against each other, the game will continue. I can cancel is if need though, just let me know. Maybe you want to fight to the death. :D
