Another of my insane returns. This includes a 2nd wave right on top of a horrible setup (i still setup as far away as i could..) and was facing straight for a Gunboat with two marauders.

I started with low rear armor, so a straight charge was my only option. Ended with 5 armor front.

Exploding gunboats can really save the day...
worth watching and pretty short.

Good scout - Neg3 - didn't prevent a nasty ambush on a nasty map (Lost Trail between EL and GW)

This is why high courage matters - think my taxi passengers probably got courage too heh.

Had a plan, then I got shot a few times, came up with a better plan lol

250 scout and still ambushed in acid land. Not horribly difficult, but remember to fully inflate your tires on this map to resist damage.

Not sure this was unwinnable, but crashing into the pu didn't really help. Otherwise, I probably could have gotten by them and gotten free.

My taxi clients were unimpressed. They didn't pay when we got to SF despite having to save them from bears and rats. :( Ingrates.

I had this exact ambush spawn a couple weeks ago. You got the unfavorable starting position by facing the opposite direction that I got. For me, it was floor it down hill and run it out. I did take some rear and side hits but made it without any casualties.

You did make a valiant attempt to drive by them. Nice swerving technique. To bad it was thwarted by a pick up that spun out. Even though the encounter failed, I would still give you a "10" for the try.

I would have attempted a U-turn and use the acceleration and speed of the eaton to try to escape, but thats just my thinking. This is the fun thing about DW. Different players have different strategies and ideas that others can learn from.

The hard part was that the AI's two most powerful cars, both Scorpions, were behind us and we had to break through and kill them while the main force was closing and firing at our rear. A dangerous concentration of rockets.

I considered turning, but I estimated that the back guys would be too close.  With speed loss for turning and no cover for several turns, I figured that wouldn't work.  That pickup hosed me good.  But no damages other than loss of a car, so can't cry.

napalm in front... nowhere to go. I get through and, despite rolling a buzzer onto its roof manage to recover and escape everyone without damage. Great ambush... good luck and some talent get me out of it.

Even 378 scouts get ambushed. In Salt Flats Canyon. At least I got away this time.

S793793 Avalanche Vs Sabre Dogs Highway To Hell

Mary Mobley of the Sabre Dogs makes the unlikely choice of trying to use her Eliminator to ram a lorry equipped with a reinforced ram. A rocket boosted, Chromed 7Lv12 equipped lorry.

Issac Hays does a terrible job of trying to shoot Mary using Wrought Iron's front rocket launcher(he barely knows how to load the thing) but it serves to distract her as the lorry barrels down on her. Colliding at a combined speed of 122MPH does bad things to the Eliminator. Six seconds into the encounter I have one less opponent capable of carrying the fight to me. And the rest is just car cannons.

Road to Morgan - ambushed by slavers. Two cars had a clean escape path, but the third car was out of position and had to run a gauntlet.

S888691 - Burning Skies

Firelight maps suck. Although, there is apparently a path off the road, but I wouldn't want to try it in most vehicles.
