The Crazy Hits Thread - Reborn!

[Wrangler]

Doubleblind murder mystery.

[truetanker]

Evidence shows you where there as an eye witness, care to elaborate?

I saw everything says the blind warrior, who wasn't there.
I heard it says the deaf warrior, who wasn't there either.
*Blinking their eyes* was the mute warrior, who was there .

[dgorsman]

So why is it when I get friendly gun emplacements it's a handful of MG and flamers, and when the OpFor gets them it looks like this...

[Wrangler]

That is a lot of turrets.  Are these randomly generated?

[dgorsman]

Yup.  Might need to start diddling with the turret RATs to reduce the amount of high-end and/or ranged stuff to balance it out a bit better.  PITA though since it's all nested down in a master ZIP and it doesn't override like the era availability XMLs - it has to be unzipped, modified, then re-zipped.

[BATTLEMASTER]

The bot's Dire Wolf chose to risk fighting in quicksand.  It got knocked over after taking over 100 damage in a turn, and couldn't get up the following turn.  Then this happened:

 *** Daishi (Dire Wolf) D (Princess) DESTROYED by quicksand! ***

An Iron Cheetah earlier in the turn didn't fare much better:

     Large Pulse Laser (Clan) at Iron Cheetah B (Princess);  needs 3, rolls 7 :  - Direct Blow - hits  HD

 *** Iron Cheetah B (Princess) DESTROYED by pilot death! ***

And that was after the Iron Cheetah KO'd the life support and a sensors slot on my Marauder IIC

I like how the weather is clear yet there's a freakin F4 tornado 

[dgorsman]

I usually convert Tornado conditions to variable wind speed and direction, depending on general force contents.  For when a force would be greatly impacted it's usually from Moderate Gale to Storm, and for those that are not Strong Gale to Tornado F1-F3.  Provides a better scenario all-round.
