whaaaaat it was marked down to 20? I got mine for 40
well whatever once I actually have a game, the retail price is irrelevant
I just spent two and a half hours on that first mission against the emperor. I failed it on the first try because I spent 10 turns blockading the big tank with Edelweiss being tanked with Dallas while I had my lancers crawling all over the big tank trying to find its damned weakness. I did that for while, then I decided to pull everyone back to a trench in the middle of the map to see what would happen. Once I destroyed the first weak-point, though, the reinforcements totally raped everyone that was in the trench and the only reason I didn't fail for of losing all my allies was because I was out of turns too.
The second time around, I still got raped by the reinforcements, but fortunately, my only squadmember that "died" was Largo.
and now I have a headache from staring at the TV so damned long
damn, this game is fun
