ok so I have a question to ask.

So that might be a spoiler.

So I've started my own thread and stated I have a question that might be a partial spoiler.

So if you're still reading – don't blame me.

Ok : the tanker on its way to Skull island has 3 hueys on the deck. There's a Chinook up front. And they do show a seahawk hidden around the back.

So, how come when they take off there are about 12 hueys ? Where did the rest come from????

The other invisible tanker

Well, maybe it was 5 Hueys :

But in flight ?

More!

And there seemed to be even more over the island – although I wouldn't swear to that !

I did wonder if I'd blinked and missed a second ship !

Don't you be going and getting logical on us!

Six Kong threads. Yes!

Those were not the Huey's you were looking at!

It's a Jedi mind trick. "Those aren't the number of Hueys you were looking for."

Mithmee21 Mar 2017 12:48 p.m. PST

Okay the other Huey's had already taken off and were waiting in the air.

There is your answer.

Now the real question is why didn't they get the hell out of there after the first two were taken out.

Plus why didn't the Ex-SAS individual not have his own weapon(s)?

Plus why didn't anyone use those M203's?

But we see the boat sailing, sailing, sailing and only 3 (or is it 5 ?) Hueys can be seen.

It's all just so kong-fusing.

It took Kong a while to build and paint the others – if you look at the army list he did pay the points for 12 hueys on that side. I guess as he was solo gaming he thought it wouldn't matter. He forgot it was being recorded to showcase the rules. Rookie mistake. No wonder he seemed angry.

It's a military op. Half the helos are out on security patrol.

Mithmee23 Mar 2017 1:06 p.m. PST

Plus there could be another ship.

It's possible – it never appears, and another ship sure would have been handy, but it's possible.

Giant gorillas are notorious for inflating their kill figures, put it down to over claiming

Ha. Try watching "Flattop".
