04:09:13 Devastator: I did find you that image, right?
04:09:21 Devastator: I found the Endless Gyratory strip.
04:12:21 MJ: That is just so incredibly british.
04:13:22 Devastator: then goes on to sacrifice his own body to curse Wendlefield.
04:13:58 Devastator: Got to teach a new coworker about vacation pay today.
04:15:04 Devastator: Fairly new immigrant who didn't know about how it worked and was expecting a vacation time setup.
04:15:19 Devastator: so I told him we didn't have formal time, so we get extra pay for vacation pay.
04:16:47 Devastator: Last I recall it is basically a 4% raise, but that might have changed.
04:16:53 Devastator: Guy was happy to find out about that.

04:24:37 MJ: I get that. I’ll be on in about 5 min.
04:25:34 Devastator: Lost a steel panthers game the other day.
04:25:58 Devastator: was playing the Batista Cuban regime getting attacked by soviets with about a 50% point deficit.
04:26:10 Devastator: Didn't bring enough anti-tank weapons.
04:26:26 syv: Can you play as Ukrainians getting attacked by Russia?
04:26:37 Devastator: I was not expecting them to get six tanks and two companies for 1200 troops.
04:26:43 Devastator: Yeah, you can do that.
04:27:11 Devastator: I only had 3 37mm anti-tank guns, but I could have had more.
04:27:34 Devastator: still, the gap was too much, the russians had much heavier armed infantry AND six tanks.
04:27:35 syv: Can you set the Russian AI to be shit enough it's realistic?
04:27:48 Devastator: Hah, nah, the AI is pretty bad but it's not wretched.
04:27:53 Devastator: still, the point gap was.. pretty large.
04:28:56 Devastator: they had two companies of infantry, 3 SU-100s, 3 T-34-85s, 2 early BTRs, a few extra RPG-2 teams, four heavy machine gun teams, and 4 81mm mortar teams.
04:32:27 Devastator: I had 3 37mm anti-tank guns, 3 double 81mm mortar teams, 1 company of infantry, (plus a few extra squads) four extra MMG teams (because there were no LMGs in the infantry squads), 3 double HMG teams, (again, no MGs in the squads), a truck each so they could move, two company level light mortar teams, two snipers, and two arty observers.
04:33:33 Devastator: I shoulda ditched the trucks, they could still move enough, and brought an extra AT gun. Still woulda lost, but if I'd placed the light mortars properly it could have been close.
04:34:09 Devastator: oh, one 37mm gun got all the tank kills. I got all the SU-100s, and one T-34-85.
04:34:29 Devastator: I had a second one that blew an 80% chance at point-blank range and died for it.
04:34:38 Devastator: The third one didn't get a shot chance.
04:35:50 Devastator: I could stream some for you guys, if you'd like.
04:35:54 Devastator: but Vagante is better.
04:36:12 syv: I'd be curious. Maybe later. Was gonna play Hunt with
MJ.

Devastator, where can I get steel panthers?
05:28:56 Devastator: I don't think there's copy protection, though.
05:44:07 Devastator: apparently 1961 era Paraguayan Conscript squads cost 7 points and have rifle/SMG/hand grenades, and 11 men.
05:44:12 Devastator: that's incredibly cost effective.
05:45:11 Devastator: Also note there's a free edition.
06:49:47 syv: I just finished the hardest racing map I've ever done, improving my time on it from 15907s to 4393s.
06:50:12 syv: Getting a three-hour time save feels very nice
06:55:34 syv: For reference, the combined time across all 237 map records I have recorded comes out to 1 day, 2 hours, 40 minutes, and 16 seconds. Including the new record on that map. It was an enormous addition.
07:10:08 Devastator: that does sound nice.
07:12:30 Devastator: lemme know if you would like to watch one.
07:23:00 syv:
Devastator, what's your twitch channel now?
07:28:12 syv: high vis so I can see what's going on
07:28:56 syv: There are a LOT of unit types, damn
07:36:54 syv: Ahhh, this looks a lot worse for you
07:37:02 syv: USA in the fortified position
07:41:25 syv: Not sure what I'd expect, really. I kinda figured CA and USA would be similar with CA just being... fewet.
07:49:10 syv: Hey, antimateriel snipers!
07:55:10 syv: Hopefully McIvor achieves something and doesn't just get artied to death
07:57:36 syv: I had expected you to play against a PC
08:23:59 syv: Ehhh not interested in watching any further
08:44:23 Devastator: played enough tonight.
08:44:24 syv: Game is neat, but I prolly won't play until after the trip
08:44:37 syv: More fun tp play than to watch, I imagien
08:45:29 Devastator: ended up being a 10:80 kill ratio there.
08:45:53 Devastator: enemy bought six rifle sections and four recoilless rifles.
08:46:14 Devastator: also aussie paras have ridiculous experience stats.
08:46:33 Devastator: 90+, which explains why they were murdering their way.
08:48:33 Devastator: If you want an open tank battle you need a big map, else tanks are just easy meat.
08:48:41 Devastator: their biggest advantage is huge range.
08:49:09 Devastator: can be pretty few points, just need a big map.
08:50:26 Devastator: I gotta work monday.
08:50:28 Devastator: but that's my last day.
08:58:25 syv: Any reason why aussie paras are so good?
08:59:54 Devastator: Normally paras and such get XP bonuses. Also, first-rate armies generally have higher training bases.
09:00:12 Devastator: I'm assuming the aussie army in 2000 has a base of 80, which is the same as the US.
09:00:18 Devastator: ..and their paras get a +10 bonus.
09:00:50 Devastator: Do note a lot of countries have reservists or national guard or such with xp penalties.
09:00:54 Devastator: they cost fewer points.
09:01:44 Devastator: Amusingly, that canadian para sniper had the highest bonus I've seen on a troop type.. +10 XP and +15 Morale, which probably puts the guy at 90/95.
09:02:51 Devastator: oh, one bit for Nik,
syv.
09:02:57 Devastator: they've started recruiting from Moscow.

10:10:13 Devastator: mmm, tried out the super sniper again.
10:10:20 Devastator: they're incredibly, utterly lethal.
10:10:25 Devastator: but they only carry 50 rounds.
10:10:32 Devastator: so need like an ammo truck, heh.
10:58:24 syv: Strictly anti-infantry I imagine?
