Save those troops!
« on: September 11, 2008, 01:32:44 PM »
Nits took A98 in LWO with a gv raid a couple hours ago.  I was one of three guys who brought troops: one guy in an M3, two of us in SDK's.  When the troop carriers were called in from the forest, I was the last guy to the map room.  The first to arrive was the other SDK, he releases his troops, and moments later the M3 parks right next to him and releases his troops too. :rolleyes:  I guess he felt swindled that he wasn't going to get the capture. :P  Anyway, it turned out a couple of those acks were still up, and the troops didn't take.  Tortoise like, I arrive, wait for our tanks to take down the acks, and release my troops for the capture. :D  Now, just imagine if there had only been those two Nits to take A98. :lol

I've curtailed my M3/Sk/Goon activites quite a bit.  I've noticed that the competition for the capture has become pretty intense over the past 6-12 months. 
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

So long as his was the 10th troop into the maproom, he could have gotten it.  All the credit goes to the player who deployed the last troop.

I remember taking part in the race of the 30 troops a few times years ago, hoping to get that 10th troop in :)

Right, but you acknowledge the tactical stupidity of what he did?  He jeopardized the whole capture mission for the sake of a coin-toss.

I didn't say it was smart ;)  If credit is what they want, it's hard to convince them that they should gamble that the person ahead of them will fail.

I'm sorry, I was just trying to make a feeble joke about how some people take this game far to seriously like the OP working soooo hard to take that base. Much like your post, taking MY post soooo seriously  :rolleyes:
