Jerry-Rigs 2-0 over iwound @ Westminster
Underground Rad Soldiers Tourney of Death
I dont remember winning 2 games. May be you played with someone else? I only won 1 game, then I recieved your challenge and now we are playing the same map again. Not much fun in my opinion playing the same map twice, with the same squad, same weapons, same abilities. But those are the rules of this cup. The only reason I am doing it is that I dont lose hope to face Ciakgb it the ultimate final battle for his 10$ :))))))
So it seems like you guys are working things out to a conclusion. Meanwhile, back at the Batcave…
Mitsid, you may get your wish, I may have to be a “place keeper” this round. I’ve been holding out for SuperNge, but there is a language barrier and I’m not sure he’s going to make the first round.
Still a SUPER QUAD OF DEATH:
Tinker
Armedamus
Sandman
Ciakgb/or SuperNge
Make sure we are all “friends” and all that and we’ll see if SuperNge sweeps in at the last minute…
iWounds banzai charge, Juan survived barely after my next turn, but iWounds merci saved pete (toxic damaged after med aura??! Didn’t know that) his head shot killed my Kate (amber lance) so missed the killing blow, so waiting for flamer …
Almost everything that happens in a game adds to the coin payout at the end.
If you lose a game you still get your share of that payout. That’s about 1/4 of the total or about 400 coins (varies a lot!) .
If you concede (quit) a game, your opponent gets the entire payout and you get nothing. I don’t know if that applies to your experience points as well but if it does, until to get to level 40, every little bit helps.
In short, I suggest you finish your games. If you are “done” you can make a suicide run, die, and still get your share.

Color commentary:
Mitsid started the first game on Construction with a bunch of skinnies. He took up a good position with his snipers spread, Daves forward, and Captain and Kate in the rear. Jerry-Rigs responded overly cautiously and tried to hang back out of range. That allowed Mitsid to deploy his UAV’s and firmly establish his position. It was over at that point except for the killing. Rigs never recovered.
Mitsid hit Jerry-Rigs so hard in their first game that Rigs though he lost 2 games. Rigs rebounded with a little more aggression and managed to kill two (count’em, 2!) of Mitsid’s Toons in the second game (yeah!). One of them was a distant knife welding Dave that had already tossed his ball and the other was a close in Madam with a Fryer that had already launched her UAV. (Oh well.) In the end, Rigs chose to try to hang on for one more turn of T&H instead of taking out the other Dave. It didn’t work. Mitsid was able to commit his still substantial firepower to clear the map of all things Rigs, UAV, crate, and all.
iwound is proving to be an up and comer that doesn’t mind playing with the big dogs. Playing at level 31, probably with a limited barracks, his first tourney match was on Lapa against Mitsid, a well known high level player. It appears that a major portion of the games took place in near real-time over the weekend. Nobody has given details but I suspect that Mitsid spread his snipers, rushed his Daves, and then positioned his Captain on iwound’s side of the scoring zone. iwound probably felt his way in and lost somebody to Mitsid’s experienced positioning and combo strikes. By turn 4, Mitsid was able to throw an O-Strike “over the wall” against an unsuspecting iwound. Shaken, iwound retreated only to fall to Misid’s snipers. Or, I could be completely wrong. Anyway, hang in there iwound. Mitsid has taught a lot of lessons to a lot of people.
Jerry-Rigs and iwound’s first meeting was on Westminster where Jerry-Rigs introduced iwound to a sniper sandwich. iwound moved his Pete into an unsupported but threatening position. Rigs was not able to finish him in one turn, so Rigs used Kate and a UAV to bracket Pete between the bushes. Pete dropped the UAV but couldn’t kill his way out of the box and was finished the next turn by Kate’s S&P at point blank range. When the end became clear, iwound quit the game but he’s learning.
In the second game, iwound committed to the side entrance and allowed Rigs through the front door to threaten iwound’s rear with a UAV led Kate. Rigs stunned and kept the pressure on. iwound held true to his name and dealt a lot of damage but never finished a toon. Rigs kept iwound contained on the side and in a corner and maintained position in the scoring zone. Once again, iwound bailed without collecting his bounty.
g00n has been slow to start and has paced his turns. In Park Square, g00n and Rigs both split their forces. When goon’s Kate continued straight to the corner supported by Ivan and the Captain, Rigs found himself with a bunch of juicey targets for g00n’s toxic bomb. Rigs tossed first then followed with a Fryer shot, a well positioned block, and a cloaked Hacker. All that required most of Rigs special sauce and left him open to a Dave that was sneaking in on the inside with a grenade. Rigs slowed that advance with a stun grenade and ended his turn. 2 one-shot AOA weapons expended against 1 target each. What a waste! But, the expenditure did what was intended, forced a retreat, and elicited a “pooh bear” from g00n (watch your language there, g00n). (I forgot what happened next) The game is still in progress.
On the other Park game (or maybe I confused games), Rigs was able to use his toxic and stun to greater effect than the other side of Park, but left Kate exposed in the process. g00n tossed toxic back and then finished Rigs’ Kate. Rigs started misquoting Inigo Montoya: “Hello. My name is Jerry-Rigs. You killed my medic. Prepare to die.” and proceeded to drop 3 toons in one turn with the help of an exploding UAV right up the aft hull. To slow g00n’s sniper from getting into range, Rigs tossed a medic crate in the way and crowded with a UAV. Rigs is exposed and down a medic, but he has position (including a sniper in the backfield) and the T&H clock is ticking in Rigs’ favor. g00n is hurt bad but he ain’t done yet. Expect Rigs to lose his Captain or a Hacker real soon.
g00n has started comments on his game with iwound.

Iwound conceded first game -only had a badly wounded Juan
Rest still in progress.
A note Im a massive time difference so it feels slow but actually Im taking most games under 10 hours…my alarm is aboutt o go work work as I type
Wed 7:45am
bah now have 12 games to catch up today
CiakGB games are at the moment in favour of CiakGB… Snipes vs Daves is not easy… In one game I made twice a mistake and well I think thats a loss…
Vs Armedmanus its odd, hes building a camp and well Im not gonna charge…
Tinker has not responded yet…
The Sandman games are like a sandstorm…a whirlwind of madames and marines. I wouldn’t have said I was winning at all, but things sort of leaning towards having a chance, somehow I survived losing my commander with a full load of abilities. Daves are hard! Those grenades come at you like a pineapple tree and you pretty much have to just sit and take it.
