Your A0 doesn't survive 1st turn OP fire after a successful paradrop?

You spend 1/2 of your arty points on a 155 battery and during its first fire mission 'tube-1' malfunctions, taking the rest of the battery down with it.

(Why I always toggle tube-1 'off'!)

...accidentally klicking on the map sends your most precious unit careening at top speed into the LOS of the enemy AT line.

Or...You shut off the first two tubes of your 155 so it doesnt malfunction early in the game
Then later in the game, set the perfect arty mission to cripple your opponent, but your last two tubes are out of ammo and you forgot to turn the first two back on!!!

I'd say Bel nailed my least favorite. ALWAYS happens. Try and remember to use the "F" key, don't click on the target, if it passes a morale check, it'll dodge your mouse pointer and lure you to your death! :p

You reminded me of something worse I did once...ONCE!: turned a Tiger's main gun off to MG some infantry, then forgot to turn it back on. During my opponent's turn he recognized that this Tiger was 'toothless' and pounced on it with a pack of T-34's!

Your playing online and the turn you destroy a good number of the enemy you lose the internet connection and your opponent ceases to exist and you never hear from then again even though seconds before the crash you saved the game. (and you always suspect your opponent pulled the plug)

...the pilot of your C-47 thinks he's really a fighter jock, and tries to bomb a column of enemy armor with your paras...even though it's 35 hexes away from where the drop zone is.

...your on board arty refuses to fire because it's "out of contact"...while sitting in the same hex as your A0 and an FO.

...all your arty is "out of contact" and can't fire during the deployment phase.

...your reinforcements arrive, but the first tank gets stuck on a bridge, and all the following units get stuck trying to detour around him.

...you move two infantry units and an armor unit into a hex just vacated by a retreating enemy, then during the AI turn a lone crewman pops up in that hex, assaults and kills the tank, and your other nearby units anihilate your two infantry units trying to kill the one crewmember.

...the alarm clock goes off in the morning to get you up for work, you can't quite reach it from the keyboard to shut it off, and your wife wakes up to find you still playing SP:WaW.

You overrun an enemy unit, only to have them assault and kill your tank instead.

Silencer · Post by **Silencer** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 2:16 pm

You waste 50 rounds from your tanks trying to kill a snotty little PzIIIf (Never happened to me but it's fun watching it happen to my opponent).
