Haven't played Frozen Synapse for a while and just picked it up again recently. Remembered that I was terrible but I enjoyed it and I didn't give it justice the first time around so here I am giving it another shot. If a tourney is to be had I wouldn't mind joining (or helping set one up).
I've added everyone here onto steam friends list so that I could get some games going with you guys. Wouldn't mind taking this opportunity to learn more about the game and how to play better

So I played my first game of PvP tonight since the last time I tried and it ended up in a draw. Couple of moves that could've definitely be executed better but otherwise I'm happy with my result.
Also sent a couple of challenges out to you guys (Username is Ember in the game). Let's see how great (or horrible) I really am at this game.

Funny story, at about the same time you posted above (sat) somebody challenged my on a match... I thought it was you! I was all chatting to them about how Grim had schooled me for my first 10 games.
Guess it was just some random

Might've been me lol. I did issue a couple of challenges although I'm still looking at all the game modes available. Light versions appear to be interesting with information available to everybody... much harder to outsmart your opponent in those ones.
Grim, beginner's luck me thinks... I was fortunate to knock off two of your guys with rockets early on. Not sure how to handle a situation where it's shotgun v. shotgun (assume staying still is best?). I saw your shotgunner and was hoping it was possible to take him down before he spotted my one and failed miserably.
Don't worry, you'll probably destroy me next game haha - giving me an easy time so I feel overconfident then when I least expect it... BAM!
EDIT: jprockbelly you meanie  - don't think I stand a chance against you with our match after what happened there haha...

I'll let JP upload it once it's complete - not really proud of the moves I made in that game and it's one of those games that I'd delete and never want to see again - Three words... rockets and carelessness. Me being a little careless, jp and his rockets...

it's a classic Grim move, rocket the opponent before they can move away from their spawn

It's great when it works
Edit: JP did you tell him to take it slow beforehand?

It does work nicely if the opponent decides to camp a unit in the spawn position, and not so nicely when it strikes you back hard . You aimed the rocket really well though. Nice anticipation.
Lesson - don't keep your units too close together when there's a rocketeer.
I've also got to watch the outcomes more carefully. For some reason grim I thought I took down both of your shotgunners and that we shot each other down. Turns out that was a fatal error in regards to my planning for my next move as well. Owie
Told you it was likely beginner's luck that got me through haha. Gotta be more strategic in my thinking now.

Oh jeez, I just got whooped in secure by grim. I've only played it a few times but thought I could handle my bid of roughly a fifth of the map on my side.
Seems I can't. I'm thinking I'll be bidding low now a few times so I can get the hang of this mode a bit more. Haven't played any games of charge yet but the premise sounds interesting; suicidal rushes.

I had no idea what I was doing in that mode. I bid on a couple of square then just spread out my attacking guys. I saw one of your snipers but not really anything else?
I think the problem is you need to cover a large area (or whatever your bid), but I can focus on one small part. I think if I can get inside a red square and stay there for 3 secs I win. So if I take down one of your guys even at a cost of 1-2 of mine, you're unlikely to be able to react in time.
