Whilst looking for a particular Warhammer 40k piece (unsuccessfully) I came across this.

If ever a picture was worth a thousand words this is it. Read the text its mostly gobbledigook to me but it gives you a sense of how this panned out

Great this - just goes to show what can happen if you try and be too clever. If you read the story and then look at the smiling guy again it does make you laugh.
Cheers

Not being, and never have been, a wargamer, so much of this ,although in English, escapes me. Has the grinning guy studied and interpreted the rules to perfection, thereby winning without doing much? How far had the contestants travelled to grab this baguette of frustration? Did it end up in a right royal bout of fisticuffs out back?
I think we should be told.

Excellent picture!

Another being too clever true story:

This actually took place in Charlotte, North Carolina.

A lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured them against, among other things, fire.

Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars, the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company. In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost 'in a series of small fires.'

The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason, that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.

The lawyer sued and WON! (Stay with me.)

Delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company, in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable 'fire' and was obligated to pay the claim.

Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the cigars that perished in the 'fires'.

NOW FOR THE BEST PART...

After the lawyer cashed the cheque, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!! With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine.

This true story won First Place in last year's Criminal Lawyers Awards contest.

I remember when playing Command & Conquer online. Everybody was so obsessed with building a large effective base before going to combat. What you could do was to build an APC and a few engineers. Put them in the APC and drive to the enemy base which was more or less undefended, let the engineers take the main buildings and sell them right away which was a great if not fatal loss for the enemy.

There where players that was soo pissed off because of that simple trick not realizing that they where taking the risc themselves by optimizing for a large battle later on in the game.

Same thing here. The fox knows many tricks but the hedgehog knows only one, a good one.

Technically correct; the best kind of correct.
