"When your opponent fears you, then's the moment when you give the fear its own rein, give it the time to work on him. Let it become terror. The terrified man fights himself. Eventually, he attacks in desperation. That is the most dangerous moment, but the terrified man can be trusted usually to make a fatal mistake. You are being trained here to detect these mistakes and use them."
- Gurney Halleck, Weapons Master to Leto
The real question I must ask myself is: does Coil fear me? Perchance he does, then what type of fear is it? Is it the paralyzing, prickling fear of horror that accompanies a Raven being perched upon a pallid bust of Pallis right above your chamber door? Or is it the type of fear you have of being caught picking your nose at a busy intersection by a busty young blonde in the car next to you? Or is it perhaps the fear of not being able to get to a free shrimp buffet in time and missing out on slurping down some sweet little sea beasties?
Either way, I intend on playing this one out and hopefully giving the Coil enough rope with which to neatly hang himself by.
LE insidious and Mongoloidal Coil is moving up his infantry now... they are no doubt probing, and the intoxicating wafting smell of the Tacos is distracting them from being too overly cautious.
My howitzer jockies are in position and will begin pounding out the approaching infantry next turn. Unfortunately for Le gaseous and putrid smelling Coil, his infantry must move forward through only two bottlenecks of cover... and little does he know I have both approaches well covered. Note that I am firing smoke in LOS areas where Le curmudgeony Coil may try to sneak in a shot from a distance... I intend on smoking up all his LOS alleys and force him to move in closer with his armor, where I will be at equal footing, and perhaps get my infantry involved... not quite laying a trap, but more along the lines of baiting a POS... just not as fun...
I've been toying with Le pernicious and probing Coil via email about how armor strong I am, and he feels that I'm bluffing... I suppose he will find out soon enough.
The M-10's are repositioning, as I do not like the 3 panzers and 1 grille to 2 M-10's match up. They will stay out of harm's way and look for an opportunity to present itself, hopefully hooking up to overwatch the flanks of my howitzer boys...
I'm finally looking forward to the next turn... time to bwast some kwauts.
