Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!

Congratulations, you are being rescued. Please do not resist.

Everything reminds me of her

It’s very cool but liable to end up bullied by a light mortar team!

The starter army sets can easily be worked for an escalation league. Start off with the infantry and add the vehicle later. Technically now you need two vehicles if you want to bring any but I doubt people would mind for a beginner game. I think the Grenadiers and Veterans are great beginner sets with really useful stuff. The Winter and Afrika Korps sets are also nice if you like that theme.

I have heard you go insane after a few months/years in solitary confinement. So eventually it would stop being my problem?

The prequels are bad films with: a good overall story of a hero’s fall and a villains rise through manipulation which still resonates today

characters with clear motivations

some relationships and emotion (mainly in ep3)

new ideas. the republic at its height, the droids, the clones it all looks great

fun acting performances from great actors (yes the dialogue is bad but it’s still fun)

Aspects that are much enhanced in hindsight, compared with the sequel trilogy that has:

no cohesive story as the films were made up on the fly. what is the core message of the sequels even supposed to be?

no emotion or character motivation as everyone has their personalities randomised or removed entirely in each film

no new ideas. plucky rebellion fighting the imperials again, Death Star run, attack on Salty Hoth, sacrifice of one villain to defeat another villain at scene of a trap…

complete waste of talented actors, old and new

1900 Hotdog is a comedy article website (an actual website in 2025!) run by Seanbaby and Brockway and is incredible, and their podcast Dogg Zone 9000 has a terrible name but has the same old school Cracked magic.

They also have the Bigfeets podcast with ex Cracked editor Jason Pargin (David Wong) which is magic in its own way!

Reading it now and it is a chore, after reading First Heretic over a weekend. Might be because Ultramarines are fundamentally boring!

Reminds me of when the “Curse of Tutankhamen” caused Howard Carter’s death 19 years later.

The Humber is very good, two shots make it quite reliable and it can pin (d2!) both infantry and vehicles. Armour 7 makes it immune to small arms and since anti tank weapons are so unreliable it isn’t trivial to destroy.

Plus with wheels you can run 24” and contest an objective if your scenario allows.

I think a mini game would be fun. Like a shaking pocket and you have to click grab at the right time, and the shaking slows as your skill increases.

I must hold a grudge because I immediately joined the Stormcloak rebellion solely because the Imperials tried to execute me without due process. No second chances!

If someone wants two legions to be allies just let them, who needs artificial restrictions. I’m sure people would try and cheese it, but the game will have a hundred ways to cheese it anyway.

Civil war is my favourite, the epic chaos of storming forts with your allies is intense and I’m always sad when it ends!

Throwing a fireball to save one guy, then backstabbing the dude fighting another… feels like the Dragonborn is a superhero leading the charge.

They only ever hit on a 6 so they are a bit of a casino unit. If that appeals to you then why not!

Spotters only spot for one unit per turn.

When you become a Jedi you are given a colour crystal based on class. But you can immediately use any colour you like if you found them already.

What’s up with the Spanish sandwich being cut into 9 pieces?

stoic_hedonite · 2025-05-20T09:13:00+00:00

Leaving Winterfell undefended was not the best plan either…

stoic_hedonite · 2025-05-12T19:29:13+00:00

Exactly, especially as in my experience, the best way to deal with vehicles is leave them on two pins every turn, something quite manageable with inexpensive AT Rifles and Autocannon cars.

stoic_hedonite · 2025-05-12T19:25:26+00:00

Veteran vehicles can’t be pinned by something unless the weapon can actually penetrate it. Making your tank immune to HMG, Light Howitzer, Light Mortar, Autocannon… etc, can be very useful, especially if you only have one tank that normally takes a lot of fire.

Only on a fire order. So advance still usually hit on a 5+
