I've lost and won a bit of games in Frozen Synapse. This game with 7h30n was not special due to the result but because I was left with a weird feeling that we both knew what the other one was doing. At the very start of the game we both correctly predicted the first missile salvo. I was in a bit of a tight spot there, risking to lose both MGs but I really had no clean exit. I was pretty sure his second missile was going to hit the remaining MG but there was little chance of rescuing them both. Also I knew about the MG behind our backs... My second missile didn't aim to kill his MG (not that I'd mind) but was shot to open a hole for my MG to shoot his. Which he did. There 7h moved an MG into the upper right corner bunker into the spot I was hoping he wouldn't as it could be a likely missile target. His MG was able to shoot mine from there. Fourth turn missile exchange; I was aiming to blow a hole for my MG to shoot from but he was already dead, 7h's missile would fly through the window, aiming to kill that same dead chap. My biggest concern was the MG in the neighbourhood so I went into a bit of a gamble with my MG moving back in, but that window looked really peachy for attacking the second MG, standing in the middle of the yard. Luckily his MG went for the missile guy and was finally disposed of. 7h saw the window and the opportunity it presents to me, so it went off with my MG behind. But not before he was able to kill the menacing threat in the yard. When only missile launchers remain, the tactics is easy. Move away from walls and hope for the enemy's stupid mistake. I do them, but this time we both knew better. 7h30n, you're welcome to enlighten your position. Silencer, now we have to do an AAR...
