"Don't you hate it when . . ."

". . . you get your PzIIIh in position right behind a nice, juicy KV1 and the 50mm cannon malfunctions on the first shot!" :rolleyes:

you are rumbling along in your massive armored ride and a MG burst disables your tracks/suspension!

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.

...when your mystical flame-rocket falls into your own forwardmarching boys , leaving the whole company routed

I see Bernie using M3 Jennys!

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!

When I'm eating my dinner while I'm enjoying the replay of my opponents pbem turn, and then I start my turn only to realise I've dripped some soup on my keyboard and my X and B keys no longer work!!!!

And I just did this the other night!!!!

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)

That's a major 'Ouch!'.

...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.

...Jess gets liquored up and sees the 'Register New Account' button on the forums.

What I do?

Goblin- A Goblin is a trouble maker too :p

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

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).

. . . you just get into the middle of a very challenging battle and your g/f decides this is a good time to 'talk about our relationship'. :rolleyes:
