And now, A true story:

My IMP merc Bobby McBobby, aka Jah, was making a solo assault on Cambria, starting from the south, hitting the mine (via the recently conquered SAM) first. After successfully taking out many of the peripheral guards with his silenced MAC-10 & handy-dandy throw knives, Jah got a little bit over confident and fired off a round from his AK-74, hit the ground (In full comouflage)and waitd to see what happened.

It was brown shorts time. First one guard appeared, then another. Then another. And another until 6, count 'em, six red shirts were standing, all grouped together in a little triangle about 10 squares from him, none seeing him. Right against that little wooden shed that's across from the mining building. And then Jah realized What were they thinking?

Breaking cover, he whipped out his one and only Law and planted the missle right in the center of the fools. 3 were incinerated instantly, one other, thrown dead on the ground and two more, critical and prone. Most of the shed in tatters (It seemed one of Jah's victims was carrying some explosives that also went off in all the chaos.)

Three more baddies appeared before Jah had an opportunity to run for it - three black shirts this time. The surviving red shirts struggled to their kness but no one made an offensive move towards him. Did they even know where he was? Realizing that he'd probably used up all his luck for the evening, Jah lobbed a mustard gas grenade at the tightly packed bunch and bugged out. But not before noting, with some amusement, the final gasps of the two red shirts.

Later, while mopping up and searching the bodies of his fallen opponents (And wondering how - once again - most of their guns and armour had mysteriously disappeard into thin air), Jah found the bodies of the 3 black shirts whom he had lobbed his mustard gas grenade at; dead where he'd last seen them.

Jah chuckled and wondered, once again, What were they thinking?

Yeah! :crossbones:

Pardon the newbie question: What's the difference between a red shirt and a black shirt? :help:

Blacks are elite troups,skilled and high level soldiers that almost never miss.Reds are regular sharpshooters.Yellows are administrators.

There was a topic called "priceless moments" for this kind of stories.
"Brown shorts time"?!?Oh my...
You were extremely lucky with that shot,never saw 3 incinerated enemies in regular JA2.Wildfire is another thing.Damage is distributed,in my experience.And instantly incinerated victims never drop items.

I suspect the triple-incineration came from the secondary explosion that took place. And yeah, I think it was total dumb luck. Normally the black shirts seem immune to gas attacks so I'm not too sure a) why it affected tham and b) why they didn't shoot in the first place. Jah should have been dead meat.

Heh,I remember elites dropping like flies after mustard gas was thrown at them in Meduna,in the bloodcat sector.
And in Wildfire I had my favorite team(Maddog-Cougar-Wolf-Fox-Grizzly-Lynx) incinerated instantly by a tank shell once,but they were all carrying hand grenades and mortar shells.Lynx had fired a LAW at the tank and used the 5 remaining points to run out of sight,back to his buddies.The tank still fired,argh...
What was he thinking?
The funny thing was listening to my custom's:"somebody put me out of my misery,before I do it myself",and Flo's:"I should be back in my house,taking a bath and sipping shampaign"...
