War Stories: The Turning Point

I enjoyed both SynthetGod8 and Chaos Theory "war stories" in the "bit of a question" thread. I thought if I started a thread "War Stories: The Turning Point" then everyone could post their best story. What'a'ya say guys? Anyone got a good story to share?

Personally I find stories

boring but that's my two cents

I don't really have any war stories, but here's an old thread with an interesting Misotu MP story.

I dunno. I like war stories. Let's you imagine.

Obviously, the best stories are the ones where the player wins from the brink of defeat. I wish I had seome good multi-players stories, but, alas, I started playing after the multiplayer service stopped...

There was one game where I was Morgan and the Hive and the University were giving me trouble. It was on a medium sized map, so both factions were on the same continent as me. The Hive was invading in force and I was barely keeping them back. As luck would have it, I managed to steal Air Power from the University just as the Hive aquired it too. Since I was dependant on Free Market EconomyI could not invade with my own forces, let alone jets, I built Punishment Spheres in two good bases and bought a bunch of Needlejets and Rovers. When I could use Clean Reactor tech, I added that to all my units, so that my dron-free bases could produce as many as needed. It was tough, but it was one of the first games that I won.

MM, that was a cool thread, thanks.

SG8, another good tale. I've never used punishment spheres since upto now I've only played SP and I manage to win those without manhandling my citizens. I'm in my 1st two MP games now and I'll keep that stragedy in mind, if need be.
