Loaded up a 'Custom Battle' defense in Warband. Thinking, "Oh, I'm on the defensive, better get some archers", I gave myself ~75% archers, ~25% infantry, in an army of 80. The enemy had an even 33/33/34% split between archers, infantry, and cavalry, and an army size of 130.

Only after I loaded the map did I realize, I'd effectively given myself only 20 melee troops, and the enemy almost 90. 

Sadly, I went down, but only after exhausting all of my arrows... and all the arrows left over from 4 other archers that had been occupying my post, along with a few javelins I found lying around, before finally being cherry-tapped by one of their remaining men. In the end, we killed 113 out of 130 of them - 64 of those kills being my own. There was only one guy left alive on my team when I went down, and AFAIK he was frozen on a rooftop, so I consider myself the last (sane) man standing.

So, note to self: archers are great, but when you're facing 90 close-combat, shield-armed enemies, consider bringing a few melee weapons.

Dwarf Fortress: Had a cozy population of 29. Most were farmers and animal tenders, had a nice productive pastoral society, with a few guardsmen with copper mail and spears. Alligator swarm. Like, all of a sudden 10 alligators migrate in from the river edge and bee line for my fort. They devastated everything.

I accelerated a rocket until the screen couldn't move fast enough to follow it, then slammed it into my own bunker by mistake.

Cortex Command?

[Urist Imiknorris]

Yup. Did I mention that my standard payload is 14 frag grenades?

This keeps happening to me with badgers. Wave upon wave of 15 of them at once.

Lag, and fucking multi-aggroing Goblins(which they aren't supposed to even do), who seem to hit always first even they don't attack(again, they're not supposed to, since they have a slower attack).
Seriously, what the fuck?

Mabingi. Fucking Ciar Dungeon. Now how am I supposed to get Bloody Herbs for my homestead?

A Grunt stuck me with a Plasma Grenade, so i quickly sprinted towards him and took him and an Elite out with the explosion.

My grenade bounced off an invisible wall and landed next to me

Killed with a shotgun, by an innocent despite me also being innocent. Trouble in Terrorist Town.

90-something waves. We were doing good until a flakpanzer tore our shit up(no other armor appeared beforehand). We were holding(although it killed a bazookas) until one of the flak shells caused the bunker to collapse. Then someone got gibbed, and everyone buy the 100XP gunner ran. The gunner kept fighting, until he took a bullet to the head. Our halftrack was alone, but still keeped killing them, until a grenade took out the gunner as well.

Also, during the flakpanzer attack, we dropped a bomb on a PanzerIII, near direct hit killed it and a few people standing near it. And prior to that, we get quite a few kills from that 16-barreled rocket launcher.

Mud & Blood 2. By the way, the 81mm Mortar attachment for the halftrack is useless. I think I'll try the quad-MG next.

Quad MG works wonders if it actually fires and you have decent Rifle skill on the Halftrack. I never bothered with anything else because AT guns are so hit and miss I'll rely on my Zooks and Signaller for that. (2 Zooks and Concentrated fire means 4 rockets in quick succession. Not a bad chance of getting a hit.)

I rarely bother with the Halftrack; I like my infantry massed, and I never have enough for replacing casualties after wave 40, never mind saving up for Big stuff.

My last death was a Super Mutant Ambush which snuck into my Vault and broke most of my buildings before taking out my budding military and chasing everyone else around. One mass recruitment wave and bloodbath later, I have 3 unwounded Vault Dwellers left, one of them with a Pick Hammer facing two mutants, one with a Ripper, the other with a Whip. I win, but I have 4 wounded Vault Dwellers with no one to tend to them. They die of thirst and my Vault crumbles to its end.
