No, you can't get a life and you want to try that way of suicide.

Also, I'm glad to see another TF2 player.

Alright. I haven't played in a couple weeks, but I'll probably be on tonight. I'm usually Medic, or Heavy if there's already enough Medics.

I think the argument that emerged from this thread actually taught me <a href='http://tinyurl.com/y42zurt'>alot</a> about this game. It is up to myself to choose how to win and destroy my foes, as following other ideas may lead to frustration and madness. I hereby show you my new plan:

This is a rare example of when you'd want to quantify "????" a BIT more ;)

That's basically my strategy for the most battles.

Yup, basic brikwars tactic:

1. move to enemy
2. attack enemy
3. ????
4. profit (for who doesn't matter as carnage was involved)
Act first, then think, then try to find a way to cover up the horrible mess you made.

if victory's your game, INVEST IN MINIFIG ARMOR. +1d6 armor in exchange for only -1" movement makes a soldier AMAZING, and unless you're doing close combat, it's totally worth it.

speaking of CC, i'd stay away from pole-arms. reach is good, but UR 5 is crippling. unless you've got entire squads of halbrediers (where there's enough that at least one or two will hit every time, which means 4+ guys), it's not worth it.
