I kept falling. I tried to get momentum, I tried to wait until the last second to jump, I tried wall-running. I kept falling JUST short, and being sent through a thankfully quick loading screen to try again. When I finally did it, I felt like cheering.

Then I saw the bar I was supposed to swing from behind me. I was split between being crushed at wasting so much time and elated at having done something not supposed to be possible.

By popular vote, the decision was made for our tiny regiment to charge the enemy's artillery position. We headed around a few hills to keep ourselves concealed, but we were spotted in a clearing. Instead of charging straight on to certain doom, we switched directions and moved to the side of their hill, attracting the artillery guard. Unfortunately, they made a grave error and sent their entire guard regiment at us. I charged in with my bayonet and stabbed one of them to death before being brought down, while my fellow soldiers either took lethal musketballs or suffered a similar fate to me.

However, the damage was done: a much larger regiment than our own charged the now-defenseless artillery, who tried to beat a hasty retreat but were chased down and lost their cannons, as well as several of the operators. With no support and now outflanked, their army quickly folded. After a small row of defeats, this victory was a good way to end the battle.

How?

[SOLDIER First]

Jackal Gang members, meet Colette - the Melee-specialist with a lead pipe, Bloody Mess, and a really bad mood.
First gang member was pulverized. Full body. Her chunks are now beautifully on display on the room. The second had Lights Out used on her, and only lost every limb instantly, her torso flopping beautifully to the ground.

I don't know. Maybe it was a glitch that made me jump a bit further? I was really surprised. I died 20 seconds later though.

Just finished my first game of Victoria 2.

Played as Japan, became a Great Power, ended the game (in 3rd place) with ~7700 score, ~1700 prestige, ~1700 industry, ~4400 military.

Ended with ~700 standing regiments, ~250 ships, awesome leaders (though they were poor in comparison to my mid-game generals and admirals who literally never lost a battle)

Was embroiled in a World War (was also a Great War as originally it was a US/GB confrontation) for the last ~10 years of the game, fought the British Empire, Russia, most Secondary Powers, and the vassals thereof to a standstill to preserve my score till the end of the game.

Instigated a naval arms race with Britain and rivaled them for power by the end of the game (I actually surpassed them at several points, in terms of raw ship numbers [and also firepower], but my naval base upgrades took a while... awesome research and industry allowed me to turn out Battleships at a rate of something crazy like 5-10 a month as I neared the end after I had lost a few ships in the war.)

Acquired half of China, The Philippines, Taiwan, along with most of Vietnam and the Sakhalin islands (Oil man, oil) (~255mil total pop, %79 literacy)

(Also went 30/30, 30/30, 30/30, 27/30, and 25/30 for research)

Other interesting things: Prussia, Russia, and Austria are all communists. China imploded. Malaya formed (those oil-loving, british sphered bastards.) The REAL WWI was essentially fought all over China with the destructive weapons of early WWII and was much bloodier.

EDIT: Also produced 100% of the world's tanks and ~20% of the world's aircraft... so even when I lose, I win!

I just beat the Mom for the first time, primarily by dumb luck.

While I did get a good set of gear, this proved to be basically irrelevant to the final fight...I found the tarot card "The Emperor", and decided to find out what it did by using it. Turns out, it teleports you straight to Mom. Seeing as I was thrown into a major bossfight with no warning, I panicked and used my item; the Holy Bible. And as it also turns out, using the Holy Bible in the Mom fight is an instawin.

There's a bug/poor design idea that the critical hit chance is based soley on the species base speed stat, which Rapidash has in spades, meaning Rapidash is a sick killer in Red/Blue.

So for me, I was an octopod conjurer on dungeon level 3 when I get an Out-of-Depth 5-headed Hydra spawn. Seeing the beast, I flee and kill a goblin who just happened to carry a wand of draining. I then pelt the the hydra with bolts of draining until I empty the wand completely. Panicking, I then shoot magic darts at it. This doesn't kill it and it then walks onto the tile next to me. I fire one more magic dart...

and it dies.

I gained enough experience points to level up twice!

Did you know that if you marry off Robin to Olivia (the dancer), you get two children with crazy high skill, magic and luck? And you can then have three Tacticians/Grandmasters stomping around the battlefield with Levin swords, dodging every attack and annihilating enemies with an absent-minded wave of their hands?

I sure didn't.

Robin's widely considered the best father or mother for any unit, and can make one that would be lacklustre into a powerhouse. You can even essentially choose what growth rates you want to pass down, as Robin gets "strength/flaws" in their stats. Ignis and Luck+4 are fantastic traits to pass down for Robin and Olivia. Alternatively, you could pass down Vantage from Olivia as Myrmidon too.

My tank turned the final corner to the enemy base, and found... well, just look at the screenshot.

Seven infantry, all clustered together in a little sandbag fort. My tank has an AoE mortar shell available.

The result was nearly as satisfying as I'd hoped. One guy on the left survived with 8/200 HP remaining, but he was quickly cleaned up and the base secured.

How did you beat the "Boss" guy?

[NullForceOmega]

Snipe his radiator when he turns around, his path is completely scripted, and once he takes enough damage he just leaves.  ('A' ranked every mission on second playthrough.)
