After sitting on a by round I watched 2 teams go at it and after the 3 consecutive critical misses from both sides damaging themselves so far only, I had to remark.. (mind this was a sealed tournament) " It looks like the Wolf green warriors are getting done priming themselves and should be ready to start the battle any moment! (this was already 20 minutes into the round. no one actually hit the other side till about the last 15 minutes of the game.)

One of my friends could not resist capturing Amaterasu units. One day, he captured an elite DF Tokugawa tank and yelled like Cornholio: "You are surrounded! Come out w/ your pants down!". You know,the DF Amaterasu is an all female regiment. He figured that the tank was filled w/ cute chicks :-)

Not really a quote, but I once played an odd force of 25 Highlander Peasant Companies, some command vehicles, and a HK Nova Cat which had its arms put on backwards and stuck in place, with one of the arms broken off in an attempt to get it to move. As my peasants began their fruitless swarm (pogged to death - not a single one got a shot off) I bestowed my Nova Cat's arm to one of the companies, declared it the "Arm Bearer" and proceeded to adjust my tactics to the preservation of the Arm Bearer, so he could deliver the One Arm to the fires of Mount Doom and destroy it.

When I was still really actively playing, I was clearly winning a match. And then rolled 3! critical misses in a row, scrapping a couple units. My battlemaster's comment. "Once again, You snatch defeat from the jaws of victory"

The guy was a friend of mine, probably the ONLY reason I didnt punch him right then. In hindsite, though, it was funny. :p

The only other funny line I can remember involved my brother and some snotty newcomer who was venue hopping for the prize. The mission was that 'You're combat jumping at the same time' one. Brother had lots of little mechs and armor, he had a MAD II comprising the bulk of his force. Guy was winning, but my brother DID do enough damage to remove a certain movement mode from the mech and kill the rest of his BA.

Him: "So, I've wrecked your mechs, and you only have a couple BA left. Guess I won."
Brother: "You realise your Marauder no longer has jump jets, right? Do they have a rule to see big of a crater your mech makes on impact?"

He wasnt to amused. :)

Hamstercorp, you fielded 25 Highlanders Peasant Companies? The fact that you actually had the guts to field an army containing them against an average run-of-the-mill "artillery rulez0rz"-build earns you cookie points in my book! Next time you field something similar, be sure to include hoverbikes and/or ATVs in it to base enemy artillery and actually be able to swarm an assault 'Mech or something else that looks big with your shotgun-wielding farmboys.

"Flavio is like an anti-prize."

no, that would have to be Cezar Spano

Wow, now I'm thinking about who would win in a battle between Flavio and Cesar with 3 of his Elite friends.

:p I remember at a Unrestricted Tourney about 1 year ago, we had about 8 participants and everyone knew everyone and all players were extremely competitive, because it was for bragging rights of the Venue. About mid-way through the 2nd round the scene was extremely tense, sweat was boiling, and there was a lull in the action (you could hear a pin drop). All of the sudden I yell, “BOOOOMMMMM, Ammo Explosion!!!!!!! Needless to say, every knee buckled and head snapped toward me. After everyone was revived, we all had a good laugh, all except one player who looked at me and said, “Man you shouldn’t do that.” Again we all exploded into laughter.

Upon examining the contents of a Falcon's Prey booster the comment was once made: "So the Flamer Teams must be the ones who operate the Long Toms."

I haven't been able to play any of those unit types without cracking up since. :cheeky:

The one that's still fresh in my mind is the tournament I played on Tuesday night.

My buddy Rich was running three Angerona Battle Armors. He continually referred to them as "Aunt Jemima Battle Armors". Hilarity ensued.

"The biggest threat right now is that MiningMech!"

Me in a game where I (as the BM) was playing 1000 points of mechs plus a dropship against 7200 points of player Mechs (8 players, 900 points, 4 orders, must be a lance or star).

Ever since Domination came out this particular incident still gets a really good laugh:

"Now's your chance! Do a close combat assault order with your Violator to attack that Mech's rear arc with your rapid strike!"

Suffice it to say that we had an adult crowd with a very vivid imagination! Everyone had a good chuckle. :grin:

Friend: "You're falling into my plan perfectly..."

Player: "You mean killing you slowly?"

Friend: "Exactly"

Later that game, my friend's Ravanger horde captured the Players Loki, and destroyed his Jackalope.

In a final match involving two armies containing One Eye Jack and his Jupiter,
