He's not the best CO for that mission I'd say, since you're up against Lash, who starts with a lot of buildings. I'd have rather had Sami to cap quicker or Max to boost survivability, since all you have to do is survive 14 days.
The only better choices I could think of for that mission would be Grit or possibly Sami. Just clog the chokepoint with cheap and expendable infantry and mechs and back it up with indirects. Your units are just as hard to kill as any other CO's, and none of Lash's units can ever kill more than one unit per turn, and that even assumes she can OHKO units, which she should rarely be able to in that mission. It's a mission that's all about producing more units than the enemy can destroy, and since Colin is the undisputed King of Production, he's going to be pretty strong no matter how you slice it.

You have to push out fast because there's not enough bases to support you for very long, plus Lash will build up her Prime Tactics superpower at least once and you need to be aggressive and make sure she doesn't have that many units when she uses it. Otherwise, yeah that's the idea of the mission.

EDIT: Grit rules. \m/

Pretty much roflstomped several otherwise-hard bosses with magic. Riku(the first time), Hook, and Vexen went down pretty damn easily. Vexen was a little tricky because half my magic deck is Blizzard, so I just abused Lethal Flame which is horribly broken(Stop+2 attack cards, difficult to break, and is five free powerful hits while every enemy is stopped).

Defeated the Hollow Queen on my second try!(would have done it on the first, but I forgot about Dimensional Cut, and thus was slow binding her arms. Woops.)

How to cure gaming industry in couple easy steps :
1. Stop preordering games.
2. Stop hyping games that have nothing to show except pre-rendered hype trailer.
3. Always distrust corporations.
4. Always rage at criminal DLC , microtransactions, pre-order bonuses and other semi legal practices.

With three points of brain damage reducing my hand size to near zero and just a handful amount of credits left, I made a last-ditch glory run on the Haas-Bioroid player's RnD in an attempt to score the last few points I needed to win the game, before he would score the agenda he had in his veritable fortress of a remote server (Four pieces of ICE!). The run ended with another point of brain damage and another tag to add to the one I already had, but in the end I made it to their RnD server. I look at the top card of RnD and reveal a piece of ICE. But, since I have an RnD Interface, I get to look at an extra card, and the Card Game Gods themselves must have smiled upon me, for that one card was an agenda worth the three points I needed to win the game. It wasn't an elegant finish by any means, having no cards remaining in hand, four points of brain damage, and absolutely no money, but it's a victory nonetheless.

and had to survive 14 days as a weak CO.
Weak? Colin is the most broken CO in the entire game. When you are running around with two Neotanks for every Md. Tank the enemy has, the damage penalty is pretty much negligible.
He's not the best CO for that mission I'd say, since you're up against Lash, who starts with a lot of buildings. I'd have rather had Sami to cap quicker or Max to boost survivability, since all you have to do is survive 14 days.

But nah Colin owns pretty much any War Room map.
AI Colin on the otherhand... :P

Had nothing important to do today so I just played pokemon online free triple battles for 4 hours.  I didn't mean to do that for 4 hours straight but when I was done I realized I won all but 3 battles in that time.

Either I'm really good at pokemon triple battles or quality of competition has taken a massive nosedive.

Could also be theres less difficult competition in triple battles compared to singles/doubles.

Captured a few flags on Godlike difficulty with a minimum of 10 bots on levels notorious for craploads of sniping.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I couldn't believe how much ass I was kicking, I had to double-check the difficulty. Things felt a little easy.

Deathmatching in a free-for-all. Fuck it; I got my ass handed to me on a silver platter. Basically, the opposite of *own* there. I seem to do better in team games, than on my own, I guess. But that's a bit personally disappointing. I used to kick ass on a regular basis on this game, and I'm starting to show my gaming age. I look forward to my first full-fledged beatdown against the next generation of my family. At least I won't be letting myself get defeated so easily. They could use the challenge.

EDIT:
Looking back; the CTF games are generally 4v4-6v6; and most other cases, it's an 8-man free-for-all on tiny/small maps (Nice and cozy).

I guess bot tweaking in the classic game, I also made my bots a little more hardcore than usual, with an elite that has a panache for sniper weapons, along with another that's a fan of dual pistols, and just for comparison, I modeled one after my perceived skills as they develop as a means of self-benchmarking (IE-Suck far less than them; or move faster than the slowest person, and compare between the old stats, and the new stats, relative to the elites (IE- Do I really belong amongst the Godlikes? Is this more than just hot air I'm letting out?)). In a sense, this is not just a proving ground for others, it's a proving ground to myself. I mean, I brag alot, and at times, I sound a tad arrogant and appear to be a showoff. This is humbling sometimes when I am more talk than skill. Nothing like allowing yourself to get your ass kicked.

Now that I come and think of it, I'm quite the masochistic gamer, aren't I? ...If I come across a Touhou weapon mod for Unreal...
