In MC-W, you're creeping through the jungle 1 or 2 hexes at a time, being really careful, and your best infantry unit walks right into 2 enemy squads and gets wiped out without firing a single shot! Man, I hate when that happens!:mad: But I keep coming back for more.:D This game has earned a permanent spot on my hdd. Well, back to the jungle. Steve. Anybody else got a favorite "Don't ya hate it when..."?

When they shoot at me.....everything goes straight to hell when they do that.....

[QUOTE]Originally posted by sg [B]...... "Don't ya hate it when..."? [/B][/QUOTE] That one freaking T 34 takes 6 hits from two Tigers 4 hexes away and then kills both Tigers with one shot a piece on the next turn.:eek: My T34s can't do that.

I'd like to know more about this - game version. Scenario. Settings, Nations, etc. I have never seen this happen, but there are many things I haven't seen. LOL In the jungle, huh?

[/B][/QUOTE] When you pound the same position for four turns straight with two companies of Hummels, two batteries of 105mm, two batteries of 150mm, and two batteries of rockets and the minute your first unit moves into the area a dozen infantry squads pop up and blow them away. Or when three different snipers all take double shots at the same infantry squad standing on the top of a hill three hexes away, with hit %'s of 80+ and they all miss.:eek:

Drex -> (3/19/2002 10:37:40 AM)
I hate it when I spend a number of turns sneaking around behind a Tiger with my Sherman and get a beautiful rear shot, then the shell bounces off! then the Tiger turns my way and I say my prayers.

tracer -> (3/19/2002 11:13:02 AM)
Or when you have a pretty good turn, hover your mouse over the 'end turn' button, then decide you should move that Tiger one hex forward...[insert expletive here]!

troopie -> (3/19/2002 12:54:06 PM)
You've just cleared a hill driving most of a company off with one platoon and an armoured car, you let down your guard, go behind the hill, and you lose the AC and half the platoon to one skeleton rifle section and a heavy machinegun. troopie

When I send my Japanese scout team to kill a chinese sniper, and end up fighting several melee rounds with no effect. Next turn the sniper kills all my four men in just one melee round. /queue kungfu movies music, and obligatory matrix shot

[QUOTE]Originally posted by sg [B]Anybody else got a favorite "Don't ya hate it when..."? [/B][/QUOTE] I hate the mis – click… …I’ve just moved my favourite unit a couple of hexes and decide to click on the scout far forward but Oh the horror I miss and what happens??:eek: The favourite unit breaks cover and heads away into the valley of death – not a care in the world. And gets blown apart!:mad: Oh well, casualties of war they tell me…

Dogmeat -> (3/19/2002 8:51:41 PM)
What I hate is when my planes mistake my units for the bad guys and bomb the crap out them. Too bad I can't order my AA to fire warning shots at the near-sighted pilot. :)

mao -> (3/19/2002 9:06:31 PM)
When I accidentally (usually late at night when I am tired) use the end game instead of end turn button...

Bing -> (3/19/2002 9:32:51 PM)
When I am tired I sometimes click for movement, when I ought to be getting off the unit icon and right clicking elsewhere. My unit leaves cover, runs out in the open and is cut to pieces by those MG's that are supposed to do nothing but suppress. Bing

robot -> late 88 (3/19/2002 9:53:20 PM)
5 squads of engineers are behind pill box have been for 3 turns droppin satchel and flame on them. Figure there all under there beds crying move 88 up to take it out in line of sight of course and all of a sudden met with fresh crew i assume. 1/2 the crew of 88 goes to there maker and start the same process over again .

When your ammo dump go boom with all your artillery in it:mad:

AlvinS -> (3/19/2002 10:30:19 PM)
My uncanny ability to step on every mine in a Wild Bill scenario. :D Or when you run 3 units through a hex and then BLAM!!! the fourth one hits a mine. How does he do that?:rolleyes:

chief -> (3/20/2002 3:04:02 AM)
I hate it when I've placed a squad in a stone house next to a squad in a wooden house, they duke it out and the stone house loses.....block piercing bullets and rubber bullets??????:mad: :( :cool:

SeppDietrich -> Cheap Auxiliaries (3/20/2002 3:15:22 AM)
I'm defending in a campaign, the fight is in North Africa, and I need more men. So, I get Italians. Foolish foolish me, I have no choice but to put them on a flank, because to put them anywhere else could result in the total collapse of the line. Massive losses ensue, almost the entire Italian Contingent is wiped out, and yet somehow the enemy does not exploit this. Maybe I should try Rumanians...or Hungarians...because Eye-talians ain't working. PS: Absolutely NO offense meant to those Italians who often grace these boards. Like a German Officer said on [url]www.feldgrau.com,[/url] the italians were good fighters, they just had bad morale and bad officers. Il fallimento di comunicare? Non penso di sì. Il fallimento all'EXCOMMUNICATE! Biasimarlo sugli ufficiali. Tadeln Sie es auf den Offiziern. Das ist was den ich sage.

ZinZan -> (3/20/2002 4:01:57 AM)
All of the above :D :D But especially : 1) Wild Bill's (mines I swear they are telepathic, they move once you have decided where to go.) 2) Moving a unit by accident. 3) A new one, advancing my tanks too much at the end of a scenario (because i think I've cleared all his INF and get careless)

tracer -> (3/20/2002 10:08:09 PM)
[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mojo [B] Didn't they make a movie about that? A Hex Too Far? [/B][/QUOTE] LOL :D The sad truth is that exact situation happened in a PBEM turn a few minutes before I posted that message :mad:

Belisarius -> (3/21/2002 1:47:30 AM)
Definetily (sp? ..whatever..) when you have a unit selected, and then start to scroll around the battlefield a bit, and discover a unit FAR away, and decides to select that one, to move it... and BARELY misses it with the cursor... :mad: ...and the aforementioned unit promptly darts at top speed across the battlefield (to the latter unit, as you klicked to move it there :rolleyes: ). Result: one unit riddled full of holes. Ofcourse this only happens when you have a valuable unit selected. :D Otherwise, it's the One Hex Too Far story... "hmm I wonder if that street is really deserted? I better take a quick lo-KABOOM"

MarkFroio -> (3/21/2002 3:34:25 AM)
I hate it when none of the above happens. That means I haven't been able to play for 3-4 days and I start going through withdrawals. The index finger on my right hand starts moving uncontrolably. No wonder my wife and kids think that I'm weird.

AbsntMndedProf -> (3/21/2002 12:46:33 PM)
When you have a unit commander who has a boatload of kills and is in command of an expert unit after many battles, and his unit drives into an infantry assault and gets snuffed! Eric Maietta

[QUOTE]Don't you just hate it when...[/QUOTE] It's 4am, you got up to use the bathroom and can't sleep. So you slip on your headphones and fire up the Panthers for another assault on the Soviet lines. Shells are whistling in your ears, the clatter of machine guns reverberate through the fields, and your gaze is intent on your recon unit probing the left flank and starting to come under fire. And then... Out of the darkness a hand lands on your shoulder scaring the **** out of you! You spill your milk on the keyboard, your lemon pie becomes one with the monitor screen and the cat that has been sleeping peacefully on your lap suddenly anchors herself with 20 razor sharp talons to the nether reaches of your lower anatomy through your PJ's as you try to leap to your feet, ripping the headphones off just in time to hear your girlfriend/wife/SO say, "Can't sleep honey?" I really hate it when that happens...

Damon -> (3/21/2002 5:10:48 PM)
I have no personal experienses that kind of things.. no... :D Only one crewman did destroy my Tiger... :mad:

Kaakao -> (3/21/2002 11:58:01 PM)
When a Sherman's round penetrates the armor of my last tiger from distance :mad:

Dan Bozza -> (3/22/2002 12:24:37 AM)
When you spend the first half of a campaign leaving your command unit safely in the rear to avoid air attack, and deciding the air activity hasn't been strong enough to justify keeping your commander out of the battles, so why not bring him up close this one time, and seeing four typhoons decend upon your troops, the one that has decided to attack your commander is of course armed with a daisy cutter and laser guidance, and proceeds to wipe out your command unit to the man in one pass. Gotta love it!

Just as frustrating is when you're kampfgruppe is doing fairly well when a few KV1s or KV2s show up. You call up your Luftwaffe support to turn the 'KV's into 'Killed Vehicles', and the fly-boy in the Stuka decides to go after one of your AFVs instead of the Soviet units and blows up one of your best unit commanders! (Has happened to me a couple of times.) Makes one wonder just how thorough the Luftaffe's eye exams are for qualifying their pilots. :rolleyes: Eric Maietta
