The most annoying things happening during one's own turn - Harald Blauzahn - 07-22-2007 Fellow grognards, while playing a very frustrating turn, I made up my mind and finally a list of the most annoying results of my own action: -Having surrounded an opponent's unit, having it disrupted and reduced its strength, I assault with a full strength unit. The result is a failiure, leaving my own unit disrupted, maybe even with a strength loss. :mad: -Shooting half a dozen times on an enemie's unit in an excellent observing position, after a couple of retreats this units is again in the same position or -even worse- in a better one. :hissy: -After having carfully explored my route of advance, I already led a number of untis the choosen way. While the most valuable unit follows, a hidden enemie unit fires and damages or destroys this unit.  And now my favourite: -Having choosen an important unit to move, changing the view to 2D-view, making an accidential click with my mouse and thereby moving the unit in the opposite direction. :whis: Is there anything you can add? I am very curious about all the embarrasing results I (probably for some good reason) forgot.

RE: The most annoying things happening during one's own turn - Von Luck - 07-22-2007 Hows about moving units in a large game for nearly an hour then a power cut occurs aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh.

Heck, I really know this! :angry: In such a situation I usually wish to have a stronger drink than a cup of coffee. Damned "friendly fire"! Who the heck created this expression, btw? @von Luck: A power cut is indeed the worst thing to happen. Thank god, I was safe from this for now. Joerg RE: The most annoying things happening during one's own turn - Von Luck - 07-22-2007 Harald your right now i save every few turns which is a pain in the neck but saves having to do nearly an hours work again. RE: The most annoying things happening during one's own turn - Valor - 07-22-2007 Annihalating every unit in a stack by direct fire, and then when moving to go through the hex, are blocked by a leader that had not been revealed previously and now cannot be fired upon, rendering the hex impassable. I call this, 'the heroic leader' result. Cheers! Leto RE: The most annoying things happening during one's own turn - Copper - 07-22-2007 I personally hate watching the artillery replay and seeing all my shots go for no effect... This is a damning irritant, but none so much as the clicking "yes" on the End turn now popup...1/100th of a second too soon, as you remembered you forgot to to plot your artillery for the next turn... The never ending retreating unit syndrome is worth a mention and lastly, Opportunity fire that works when your Opponent needs it to, but not when you need it to... RE: The most annoying things happening during one's own turn - keif149 - 07-22-2007 Having victory in hand (albiet a slim one) on the last turn, thinking I still needed to exit some units, charged empty trucks towards the exit hex, they were destroyed, giving my enemy a victory by less than 20 points! RE: The most annoying things happening during one's own turn - Glint - 07-22-2007 :smg:Who was that, then, Dan? lol! Having sent turns out, to find you get an e-mail next morning, telling you they got their file back by mistake, cos you were drunk! |
