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. Eek

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. Big Grin

Leading a column of loaded transport trucks into an ambush where I watch helplessly as each unit is overrun 1 at at time.Eek

Watching on target arty have no effect and off target landing on my own units with lots of effect.

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.

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.

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!

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...

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!
