- Bugger! I completely misunderstood the rules and just helped the Cap'n win...!

- I have literally no idea how I won that but I'll take it!
- Basically, it sounds like neither of us had sussed that there can only be one winner, taking the "killing and destroying" approach, and that if one of us kills all the aliens, it then becomes impossible for the other to win by destroying the computers. In other words, unbeknownst to me, once you'd killed your last alien my mission instantly switched from destroying the computers to PROTECTING them!

- Whoops! In fairness I think your team has the hardest mission in that map.
Protect the comps whilst dealing with the escaping aliens and oncoming humans.
- Ah, but if I'd managed to hold you off from destroying the computers until the turns expired, I'd have won, so (bearing in mind that I hadn't lost a single unit...and in the absence of my inadvertent help, obviously!) I'm not convinced that it wasn't YOU who had the toughest mission, on paper at least.

- OK, OK, I'm an idiot - my brief was NEVER to destroy the computers! You know when you read something in a hurry, and don't think to double-check your own understanding later...?

- Yeah we've all been there.
Almost as bad as priming a grenade for 2 turns in a 4 player game...
