I think I just witnessed the most unusual and yet funny death for a while.

While taking the Drassen SAM site, I had my mercs hide in the copse of trees and long grass outside and let the enimies come to me and summarly dispatched them. When there were none left my team went back into real time mode to search for the stragglers who run off and have to be dealt with before ownership of the sector became mine.

I moved my whole group towards the enterance to the SAM site and low and behold I found two more enimies hiding behind a SAM launcher, a little space between them but not much.

Mrs Sondergaard pulled out her low grade sniper rifle and delivered a cracking headshot to the closest one to which the other one who was hiding behind the SAM launcher decided that life was getting too hard on him...and commited suicide!

In the same turn that Buns killed one, the soldier somehow got hurt and keeled over and died, nothing touched him...It wasn't the bullet passing through the other...he was at the wrong angle for that, the hiding one was "Healthy" and wasn't bleeding all of a sudden he just commited suicide...strange.

I gotta admit I laughed, Diedrianna really shouldn't hire soldiers with weak hearts! Razz

Since he was the last one and was wounded and bleeding he must have had just enough aps left to move a tile or two before collapsing and thus being the last one, died immidiatly to end the battle.

Nah, he hadn't even been engaged in the fighting yet, he was healthy.

I just think I scared him away Smile

If they're wounded, scared and alone they sometimes leave the map. Your guy must've been hit by a pass through shot but the pc didn't update his health status bar quick enough? Quirky like that. Armour that's been hit doesn't register the new lower value until the next turn, I suspect something akin to this is what's happened here.

This stuff reminds me the first time I managed to enter Lucas Wink

Santino's room in JA1... Tried to shoot him, but the bullets passed through him and then he suicided himself...

I guess he was too proud to be killed by another Lucas guy Wink

, heh.
