Friday

"If you win, it trumps being mocked."

(Before game starts) Carl: "Did we win?" Vince: "You're French. Name a war
they've won."

Scott: "He's pivoting balls!" (Ron was doing turn maneuvers on a sphere.)
Vince: "Stop playing with your balls!"

Carl: "Vince, you need to cover your ships. These are grey." Scott: "What do
you expect? They're French. It's not like they fight with them."

Indy: "What if I roll a '7'?" [on a D6] Richard:??? "I stayed up late to make
sure the sheets were right!"

Richard: "Now I want to go over the combat rules."
John L.:  "Ahh, combat's self-explanatory.  Let's blow things up!"

Yerin hits camera button on iPhone and blinds herself. JohnL: "Did you just
flash yourself?" Yerin: *Nods*

Richard: "Fighters can go anywhere." Indy: "They are highly agile. Like us old
guys." Yerin: <snort!>

Scott: "If temporal investigations comes after me, they'd hit me with so much
paper work, I would have to go back in time TWICE to finish it all!"

(Indy fired and missed with everything.) Bruce: "The aliens have enacted their
disco ball technology."

John L: "Are you allowed to park your ships on top of your ships? 'Cause

you've got, like, traffic control issues over there."

Vince: "Here's a kick to your n***s and since we can't reach that, we'll go
for your shins."

TomB: "Can the Klingon move out from under me?"

TomB:  Ship Status Display - Federation Heavy Cruiser Kongo - Captain's
notes

Turn 1: Sleep with yeoman. Turn 2: Sleep with XO. Turn 3: Sleep with Chief
Engineer. Turn 4: Sleep with Ship's Doctor. Turn 5: Sleep with Ship's mascot.
Turn 6: Fixed a beam. Shore leave for all engineers. (Sleep with all engineer
staff.) Turn 7: Sleep with Helm's being. (Ship was destroyed.)

John L: "Time to kick in the overdrive and double my speed." (Moves normally.)
Yerin: "That's double your speed?" John L: "Yeah, well, the legs are first to
go."

Scott: "I shot myself in the foot. Unfortunately, I rolled a 1.

John L:  "So you get double range modifier, so you hit on 2+"
(Indy rolls a 1.) John L: "That was so Indy."

Bruce: "I rolled a '6'." (Initiative roll) John L: "I got a '1'. I'm Indy!"

"In order to be in PDAF range, you must first have PDAFs"

Indy: "I'm done shooting. I'm going to go eat my nuts."

Indy: "Oh! I have a bunch of guns to fire!" (upon realizing he had been
misreading the SSD for 5 turns) a few minutes later... Bruce: "Oh! I have all
these guns to fire!" (upon making the same realization)

?:     "Tom, you just got blown up by a grenade."
Tom:   "That happens."

Bruce: "I'm going to do some spiritual combat." (rolling badly) John L: "The
spirit of Indy has infected your combat."

Saturday

Indy: "I'm thinking I'm not making my objective." John L: "That's okay. This
is all about futile effort."

Indy: (noting Martin Connell's Marine squad was following his) "Martin's got
my back." Martin: (gesturing to the two bug blips ahead) "More importantly,
you've

got my front."

Kevin F: (upon seeing the bug's close combat roll) "Annnd you kill me dead."

Greg: "Oops! That's an axe in the back." Jeff: "What's the penetration
factor?" Greg: "Enough." as he removes his viking figure from the board.

Indy: (as Jon D rips off his sweater) "Oh, man! Jon's stripping again." Tom B:
"Where? Where?"

Vince: "I hope I did it wrong." (plotted movement) Scott: "You hope you did it
wrong?" Vince: "Yes, 'cause if I did it right, I'm screwed."

John L: "If you help me kill them, I'll be less inclined to kill you."

Kevin: "Time for you to move the bugs and kill us all." John L: "It's my jobs
to move the bugs. I let you kill yourselves."

Rich: (upon failing a spotting test) "There must be squirrels in the woods."

Rich and Doug: (upon failing another spotting roll) "Black squirrels!"

Jon D: "Did he say roll initiative or take initiative?"
Ron:   (Rolls initiative) "You took initiative!"

Scott: "On a scale of 1 to 10, how stupid do you think I am?" Vince: "Well, I
hope a 12, think a 5, and fear a 2."

Ron:   "He's just mostly dead."

David: "How many extra guys do I get for eating the scientists or are they
already dead?" Indy: "They're already dead."
David: "$%@#&^"

Doug: "Fish. The aliens are not there." (Hidden units in the pond.)

Aaron: "That was a crippling attack, for a ship with one hull box left!"
Vince: "Just because you wiped out half my fleet doesn't mena you can roll all
those 6s."

David: "I can't kill anything! (using Aliens) I jump on them. I smack them
down. I <sputter>" Indy: "On the flip side, you haven't lost initiative yet
this game." David: "I want to eat something!!"

Jon D: "I'm intimidating." David: "No, I'm intimidating." Jon D: "I'm more
intimidating. You knocked me down. I got back up. Like a boss."

Jon D: "Indy, eight aliens against six power armor. pound-pound-pound.
No damage.
         Six power armor against eight aliens. pound-pound-pound.  No
damage."

Vince: "So what are the Star Furies that are atmospheric capable?" Scott:
"Thunderbolts." Vince: "No, I mean the ones with the folding wings." Scoot and
Aaron: "THUNDERBOLTS!"

Jon D: "That's right. We move last, like last turn." Doug: "Like every turn."
Jon D: "Stop that!"

Steve B: "I need no cheesey missiles."

JP: "I thought that couldn't be Uranus; it was too strong."

Jonathan: "I you do damage to yourself, do you get points?"
Steve:    "No, self-inflicted wounds should never be a benefit to
victory conditions."

Brian P: "I wanna punch him in the face. Can I punch him in the face?" Martin:
"Um... When it's your turn, you may punch him in the face."

Bruce: "It was a good place to hide iuntil the tank weapon showed up."
         (after Indy destroyed a building with a Bradley-mounted TOW
missile.)

Bruce: (Reading the vehilce stats for the Taliban T-55) "And your
vehicle is a deathtrap." Jon D: "My tank is a death trap?!?"

Brian: "I was doing something stupid and I wanted to get it on paper."

Bruce: (After Jon/the Taliban utterly destroyed an AMTRAC with three
RPGs) "You got any more armored vehicles [for the Marines], Ron?" Ron: "Yeah.
Let me bend over and grab one for you."

Bruce: (to Indy) "You can leave one Marine behind to guard the prisoners. No
Taliban is going to come down here." Indy: (looking at Jon) "Oh, I don't know
about that!"

John L: "Get 'em. Wait. He's shooting as me. Don't get him."

Aaron: "It (Liberty Prime Junior) came as advertised. Not usually the case
with 1950s catalogs."

Ron: (as he and Bruce give the Marines and A-10)
"Sorry, Jon, you've been doing so well you've been penalized." (At this point
Jon had destroyed two HUMMVs, the AMTRAC, immobilized the third HUMMV, and had
the Marines pinned down in the back of the board, unable to advance.)

Sunday

Scott: (After Vince says something obnoxious.) "To the quote board with you!"

Carl: "There's a lot fewer ships of that color on the board. Can I assume
they're yours?"

Tom B: "The conga line has finished it's violence."

Greg: "What's the impact of a rocket propelled human?" (It's a D10)

"So the 'Nef has been nerfed."
