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

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?

* When I say "fixes it", it will still mean you having to re-equip, but sometimes it can cause that particular game to get itself a bit confused. Better than nothing though. :)

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.

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

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?

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 1 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!

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 6 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. :-)

Steve, I think it would fun in this mission if Aliens could produce acid smoke for cover. Either when any alien dies or a very expensive AP spit. Maybe the spit limited to the Queen? The Alien side/s nearly always suffer the same fate of long distance sniping and losing.

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.

Peter and I weren't able to capitalise on our advantage. Rabid and Socrates convincingly broke our serve so to speak in return and now it's all even again. I think it's 6 - 6 might be 7 - 7 but even so it's back to being tied, so Rabid and Socrates to attack.

Posted by xeno 43 days ago

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.

Game 53590: Chris1977, Ethereal Slayer in 'Rebelstar Alien Hordes'

Well played. Full disclosure: getting outside AQAP and then taking up sniping positions is a tactic that's worked in the past against less experienced opponents, but I should have known you'd find a way round it! Also, the execution wasn't great; in particular, I don't know what I was thinking with that smoke - it ended up helping you far more than it did me! Still, 13 out of 18 ain't bad...it just ain't quite good enough...

Looks like this has nearly run its course...what were you saying about this one being impossible for the attackers to win? Good thing you were up against me, eh...? ;-) Obviously my tactic of hiding my three starting clones in cupboards (in the hope of sneaking up behind you once battle had commenced) fell flat on its face, but either way with hindsight I should have done more to repel your attack from the right - once your guys were within nerve-gas-lobbing distance of the cloning chamber I was severely hobbled. Fancy "Impregnator" next, in a similar vein? Don't think I've had the pleasure of that one's acquaintance...
