2v2 Machination Puzzle - GreatGonzales - 12-29-2012 01:30 AM

Thought it would be fun to share a puzzler! What can blue do to virtually ensure that green wins on his turn?

Turn order: blue, red, green, yellow.

Assume wit counts:

Blue: 6
Red: 7
Green: 8

Also: You can't see them, but FYI blue has medics adjacent both top and bottom spawn areas.


Anyone who watched this replay already isn't allowed to spoil the solution!

this is a bit hard cause youre trying to play 3 turns. where eachplayer could have reacted differently.
i ended up looking for the replay so i cant answer now. haha
i think there was a way that your opponent could have defended where you guys couldnt win on greens turn

Blue kills red 4 hp solider and yellow runner, red does nothing, green kills yellow solider with sniper, then yellow solider with solider and runner, then hits base with second runner. Blue could also move a third solider next to the yellow heavy and red solider for good measure.

Kill red soldier with both 4hp soldiers, kill yellow runner with other runner, move 2hp soldier where the red one died, attack soldier in front of base. Red can't do anything, which allows green to snipe 3hp soldier, kill 1hp soldier with runner, kill base with other runner.

I can't say exactly but I'm assuming it involves killing the boost red soldier and hitting the soldier at the base down to 1. That way green can snipe the nearer orange soldier, runner the remaining health of the soldier at the base, and finish the base. For all that to happen, blue also clogs the middle so red can't get to green. I know that's vague, but it's early and my brain isn't working yet.

why would red player not move? (does nothing)

Ahhh yeah, my way isn't the best. Because I get to pick red's turn in the puzzle, that's why!

Yup you guys got it. Credit goes to my brother for catching this opportunity on his turn to secure our win.
