All kinds of strange moments that you have encountered while playing ShockWave are accepted. May it be a picture, a video, or a story you can post it right here.
About time we got one of these threads. Will post up some of my moments later.
Poor path finding forces the unit to go under the bridge
ill post a few more of mine later on

In other new GLA Quad Snipers were attacked yesterday by a giant man. Two trucks were lightly damaged as the giant fell on them.
Now that this thread is alive again....... look at my pictures.

Pal, what's weird about your first one?
It is hard to see, but a dead saboteur is floating.
Hmmm rather strange. My internet is too slow to load the image again. So I'll take your word for it.
- Dead links are dead -
Now that this thread is here, I can repost this (originally posted on RotR strange and funny moments)
Airfield fail!
The weird thing about my first picture is that those are all DEAD AND MOVING TANKS.
Most of these appear to me as not even damaged, could however be because of the picture quality.
The one thing i found strange was the gattling cannon on the command Center =S
This is what happens when you elevate an airfield and it handles planes.

Hahaha, PWN3D!

Old school war
looks like you need to upgrade to a color graphics card.
What's old school about it?
The cameos?
The black and white?
:S
Playing against V. GLA. Soldier is from a destroyed stinger site and was still able to fire and take out some of my guys. Don't think I was able to kill him, but he did disappear when I wasn't looking.
Old but meh
LOL? Never seen this Kassad
Is that just giving the structure veterinary or something?
One time, i was playing a map, and when one of my workers were killed, he still was repairing the building and the building became industructable, i loaded it up with troops and defeated the enamy.
'No picture - did not happen.'
Although that sounds like an interesting bug, however such thing never happened to me so far.
While browsing through some old files I found this old gem of mine:
Topol Bridge Penetration: it's exceptionally effective against Alexander.
(please somebody still get this)
Generals/Zero:Hour : F12. Saves a bmp in My Documents->Game Folder.

@Magic Schoolbus:
I know where this is from
ditto
I may not have any screenshots of it, but I had one oddball glitch of the strangely helpful and funny type... I was building a network of advanced demolition traps courtesy of an "acquired" Demo General supply stash outside my base, after having blown up a trio of incoming bomb trucks with my nuke silo. Having completely lost the wreckage of said bomb trucks shortly after the immense blast, I was most surprised when one of these "wrecks from heaven" landed on, and triggered the ONLY demo trap I hadn't switched to manual detonation mode. As the mines were all within the blast radius of each other, they went off in succession, totally destroying the horde of mantis tanks, rebels, bomb trucks and rpg troopers that'd been slipping their way through on the one side of the field towards the northern edge. I had been waiting for the enemy to send their forces in towards the centrally located proximity-triggered mine-style trap. But, hey, it worked. I was further surprised, mind you, when the wreckage of a nearby building caught in the chain of explosions wiped out the enemy's Jarmen Kell, taking his head clean off.
Are you sure you not just slightly exagerating? Thouhg it IS possible for wrecks to trigger demotraps, I had it myself once.
Edit:
Welcome to the forums.
No comment, no:
You haz a nuke under that bridge
No, I tried to Nuke the bridge, the Nuclear Launcher is somewhere where Black Lotus is. As you see I made many shots because the Nuke continued to fade in and out all 0.5 seconds or something. Also look at the timer. The Nuke itself stayed where it was and did never disappear fully
Did it detonate?
Nope, never did. Just appear-disappear-appear-disappear all 0.5 seconds.
Probably Poor placement in WB most likey.
So, a really interesting thing: I never knew Bikes can fire on their own too, really useful vs lone buildings:
Less of a Strange Moment, but more a crowning moment of awesome not seen in every match, thouhg I expected them to be gamma:
I present the BLUE Soyuz explosion:
its beautiful D:
I do that to multi player people all the time

What mission were you playing there? Looks good
Which map is it? looks interesting
I can somewhat see a D-Day layout. Please do tell, it looks really interesting.

Is that for Shockwave of vZH?>
Well, i present:

The dancing battlemaster!(notice the thread marks)
I suppose the crew was hearing music while driving to the destination point.
Wow, how did i do that?
Two Internet Centers? Incredible! (My ally didn´t surrender AND is still alive)(Both are mine)(One dozer built both)
What happens when you use a Nuclear Missile and the Earthshaker cannon at the same location?
The perferct Nuclear Explosion!! (Notice the earthquake and the nuclear mushroom look great)
simple, you stole tech from the other team obviously (you can kinda tell by having an industrial plant, and coal power plants...)
not that i was in that game because my computer crapped out on me on christmas eve and im getting it checked out soon >_<
thats weird, i thought infantry were...
its probably because the stinger site isnt the defense, the stinger soldiers are :S

So here is my first post...
Pilots are people too...
He is hanging around..
Shhht we're hiding
This is the nuclear wall!
Aaa Houston we've got a problem here
Somebody call for an extermination ?
Nice shots you have there As Destiny would say: 'Move up, move up, low altitude, low alti...'
GLA's new powerful ECM barrier prevents Napalm Missiles from entering the base.
YOU CAN PLAY A CAMPAIGN ON SHOCKWAVE??? OMG!!!
(actually, I've saved the campaign mission BEFORE getting ShockWave, so, yeah.)
This NEVER gets old.
Don't you just love SAGE.
Of course you can play ZH campaigns in ShW, but only some because the mod will mess up the campaigns, such as the Burton-Black Lotus-some-snowy map mission.
Umm yeah. "Heavy lift transport" taken a bit too literally.
How did you get a sub into a Helix in the first place?
Perhaps the sub was on land
how did you destroy the bridge aswell?
And How did you get a sub in the first place?
We are talking about Prince Kassad here, OF COURSE he played around with the game.
I want destroyable bridges please tell me how you did it
Thanks alot . hell yes!!
Oh no it's unrelated!!!
Hmm, what's that mod you're playing? Looks interesting.

Bug of 1.0: I see general of my opponent in the screen of downloading game, but he took random.
OK, lets do the backbend on.. WAIT A MINUTE:
http://img834.imageshack.us/i/scudlol.jpg/
For those of you that don't know, the two patriots were trying to engage my TOPOL-M missile, they disable themselves sometimes too.
But it's stupid change. What for it has been made?
Uhh general, we have a traffic jam, give me a second to fix it:

I just noticed this, in Tagga's posts, he must have modified the game, just look at those general powers, NO WAY someone can get all those high level powers in ONE GAME.

MR.Kim: How do you tilt your screen like that?
I'm sorry if this topic was in discussion before, but can you add to Stealth Fighter's rockets immune to ECM countermeasures. AFG has problems with chinese in mid and late game due to ECM tanks.
As of 1.0 comanche rockets are not deflected by ECM.
Their dumb rockets anyway.

Can Granger get an A-10 like the Desert Fly, but only one per call-in? ):
Ironically I AM AFG on that map.
Map: Desert Fury
I am Tank.
Opponent is USA SWG
Unit: Enforcer Tank
Problem: Enforcer Tank materializes ON my Supply Dock
Dear Hunter, can you explayne why after so much time of working to realise 1.0 SW general still has such OP auroras? Especially for GLA it's impossible to play. I'll just copy to you the fragment of my talking with Erik about it in hamachi:
[16:47:46] << How GLA can stand against SW general auroras and why it's still so OP?
[16:48:10] >> its OP because every Noob wanted it to be OP beyond reason
[16:48:29] >> and no once your enemy has Aurora Alphas its GG for most GLA
[16:50:26] << But how GLA can win SW? I had a replay, when I had four resources, and my enemy only two. But I can't win him, because 1-2 auroras after one bah crush army of any size
[16:50:57] >> yea you need to beat your enemy BEFORE he can even get Auroras
[16:51:04] >> they are an instant win yea
[16:55:03] << But I can't beat him before he've got auroras, because he's not noob. He attacked me by humvee and bunkering his base the same time. And as you know it's very hard to attack bunkering SW general. I'll take all the resources in the map, I'll take scud to siege eneme fortfications, but what can I do, if one-two auroras crush everything
[16:55:35] >> Scud is sueless
[16:55:39] >> use*
[16:56:01] >> i advise you to take level 1 rebel ambus and try to kil the auroras off the airifeld if its not guarded
[16:56:18] >> or make 3 terror techies and kill airifeld
[16:58:14] << It was a moment, when my group was near airfield, but my opponent is not fool. He has built 2 or three EMP patriots near airfield
[16:58:30] >> thought of building a scud storm?
[16:58:41] >> it takes a few auroras to kill it
[16:58:46] >> and each aurora is 2500
[17:02:33] << I hadn't extra money, because enemy all the time tries to attack me. He shoot my positions with tomahawks and tanks... How it calls, which has like a laser (not enforcer), and when my units went to kill enemy, I saw auroras, and after a moment I hadn't army allredy
And for persuasiveness of my words, I spread replay, mentioned by me in conversation with Erik.
Not quite the best place to build a War Factory.
Many Kassad's units have Extra Salvage upgrade cameos. But there are no chance to buy it: in Palace or Black Market.
^That is probably for cross-teching with vanila GLA.
Why then only for vGLA and Kassad? It's just a bug.
It's...not...a bug! Goddamn it, don't you understand what's cross-teching?
I've never seen cross teching somewhere, only in Shockwave. And feature only for 2 fractions... really strange.
Cross-teching is...argh. Damn. Using another faction's stuff with your stuff, i.e. filling a humvee with Javelin soldiers, putting Siege Soldiers in Combat Chinooks, researching upgrades from someone else's tech structure that applies to your forces.
Whatever.

Super Particle Cannon:
Oh no! It's an advanced Particle Cannon!
Oh Look!!!!!!!! An Albino Phython.
I feel bad for not having saved a replay but after some button mashing and wishful thinking, I watched in joy as my Raptor fired three of its four missiles simultaneously at three weakened Scorpions, killing them in a synchronized fashion.
Oh Look!!!!!!!! An Albino Scorpion.
Looks like Townes has turned his fort into a floral base

^ the same thing happened to me recently, but the aurora was still alive in red health, also circling above my base. But I had some EMP patriots who then shot it as if it was still at supersonic speed - missiles missed the aurora and emp-d half my base lol
Has anyone tried harrasing Ironside's suppy trucks with Devastators? It's just hilarious, every shot they take propels them further away and into the air, so that a single devastator cannot possibly kill the truck as the truck just farts away faster than it can be killed. It happened only in one game so far and I didn't do the same thing again so idk if that's always so.
