Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

Ahh - those were the days. Playing World in Flames, Empires in Arms and similar every second weekend with half a dozen people, and enjoying games that Lasted a few months but were tremendous fun. Someone had room enough to reserve a table for the game map where it could rest and wasn't touched in between. Really great.
Unfortunately, to marry seems to ruin a true gamers life http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">?! You must have married the "wrong kind" of women... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif My wife actually likes that I game. Of course, she is somewhat of a geek in her own right.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

Just remind your wife that there are a lot of worse vices that a husband could have. That works for me.

Slick.

Yeah, Mathis, Tactics II by Avalon Hill. Then Blitzkrieg. Ahhh, those were the days of square gaming on Boards. Later came the hexes.

BUT, this IS a KOTH thread...LOL.

And sportsmanship is relevant. Besides seeing the good attitudes displayed, it's nice to see those attitudes noticed and appreciated.

(I usually rate a player with a 5 when I see them post a message of that nature)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ragnarok, I'd like to thank you for a great game too. You are also a very good player and I too made some mistakes in this game. I learned allot and will hopefully not make them again.

Hopefully, we'll meet again on the battlefield sometime.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

Slick I never thought of that one.

Perhaps you should let gryphin know. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Mathias_Ice is in first place.
Dual colonial occupation in the Marjoram system.
Minor skirmishes between my deep-range explorer/spoiler ships and his colonizers, satellites, and satellite layers. On the hop, burned out one of his huge breathables and took out a colony ship in transit.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, it was a long game. I guess I'm starting to be known for that. All my KOTH games so far have been over 100 turns. The shortest one I believe was with Pheonix-D that went 101 turns. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I don't know if that means me and the people I play like to build up slowly or if it means me and the other person are more defensive then offensive.
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

But either way, I would like to get away from such long games. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Rambie: Thanks for the kind words. I too would love to meet you once again on the hill and perhaps we will someday. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Asmala, who is my next opponet? From the looks of the page I think I have to wait on someone, is that correct? Edit: Nevermind. I didn't see you had updated it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Gecko is in first place.
My forward-deployed ships are increasingly getting whacked by satellites on the far side of warp points. Otherwise, I am increasingly painting little Greenie Meanie flags and planets on my hulls. It is mostly a DUC/Missile duel at this point. You know, I kinda really miss the kill/loss stats from Empire Deluxe…
Oh, ok, NOW he is chasing down my front-line ships with determination – it was fun while it Lasted. *boom* there goes another one, but I am sure they already earned a spot in Valhalla.

I hate mines – my imploding fleet must have tilted the kill/loss ratio towards Mathias_Ice, as well as putting him in first place.
