Epic Last Stands

[Teddy Roosevelt]

Mine is from Nazi Zombies on Nacht der Untoten. My friend and I were playing ad were on the second floor of the house. We both had BAR's and were trying to hold them off at the stairs in the back room. I went to the other stairs and pressed my back up against the sofa so nothing would sneak up on me. Thing is, the game glitched and I got stuck. I could do everything except walk. My friend tried to get me out but he died. I was forced to stay where I was. Mind you there was a window right next to me, but I fought them off for a good while with my rifle and my knife. They simply could not get me, until a particularly large wave rushed me and I died.

Empire Total War 2. I'm defending a fort from the Americans and I was totally outnumbered from the start. I had a few regiments of line infantry and citizens while the Americans had artillary, cavalry, infantry etc.
After sacrificing my flintlock armed citizens on the walls to slow up the Yanks, their infantry and cavalry came pouring in through the gates. All I had was 5 regiments of line infantry. I got them to form squares in the centre of the fort as that was the most effective way of beating back the cavalry and surrounding infantry. They held on for half an hour, the squares getting smaller and smaller untill they were crushed by a last ditch cavalry charge from the Yanks.

Even though I lost, it was absolutley epic

Medieval Total War (the first one). I had control over Rome and the papacy attacked with one of those huge ass armies that they get every few turns, I also had a huge army but i never had to call for reinforcements because my Byzantine Infantry sitting on a hill fought off the entire army without the loss of a single unit. Hell even my measly one man unit survived.

Supreme Commander. My naval fleet and supporting aircraft engaged the opposing combined of 3 player fleets to hold off the attack which was going to hit my ally. He managed to retreat most of his army and airforce away from the attack but i lost everything but one sub. It was a good 1 hour battle and i sent them reeling. Though i still didn't recover for about an hour.

We won afterwards because my allies hit them right after my attack so they had no airforce or navy to defend themselves. Their army was trapped on the island where i destroyed their aiforce and navy.

GoW2, Slipknot's Gemetria and horde... That night was the most epic...

 

[About 115 Ninjas]

Left 4 Dead 2. We finished off Dark Carnival while trying to get Guardin' Gnome on Expert. The hoard was insane and getting that damn gnome into the helicopter was one of the hardest things I've ever done in gaming.

If you want to know an epic last stand where we all ended up dying in the end, then we'll have to go back to L4D2. We only had one more gas can to put in the car before we were done with the level when out of nowhere one of craziest hoards I've ever seen came right at us. Long story short, we got that final can right next to the car before a Smoker constricted me and a Hunter started to pummel my last teammate.

Sadness.

I've got one from Nazi Zombies on the Shi No Numa level. There were four of us on online mode in the hut in the swamp (forget the name of the hut). Two of us had the doors, whilst the other two tried to keep them from getting in through the windows. One by one, we got overwhelmed. Me & one of the others got backed into a corner. We held on for a while, but I got taken out. The last remaining guy took out a Bouncing Betty and set it just before he get killed. The explosion took out nearly all the remaining zombies.
The most epic case of 'I'm taking you all with me!' I've seen in a game.

Starcraft I. Playing as Terrans, raising my last building into the air and flying around with it, delaying the inevitable for another 15 minutes, lol

Inquisition Daemonhunt mod for Dark Crusade.
Expert Skirmish AI on a huge map, I took on their army head on as they attempted to invade my base, I was fighting the Chaos Marines, their army consisted of about 8 platoons of Chaos Space Marines, god knows how many walkers and about 3 squads of those big ass soldiers who's names I can't remember.

My army amounted to one Grey Knight Terminator squad, my Grey Knight hero, four or five squads of regular Grey Knights and a Land Raider.
All my squads were reinforced to the max and upgraded with psy-bolters and meltguns, my hero linked to my Terminator squad, my Knights stood in a perfect line against the Chaos forces with that sense of unwavering dedication, faith and badassery that makes the Knights so awesome, forward they charged, taking down wave after wave of Chaos Marines as I frantically attempted to reinforce them as they fell in battle.

20 or so minutes later, the battle still continues, my resources nearly depleted with all the reinforcing I'd been doing, my Land Radier had been all but wiped out, my hero was almost dead, I had three terminators left out of my initial squad and two squads of regular Knights with their Justicars alive. Just.

Final wave of Chaos Marines trots along and I don't think I'm going to make it, last ditch effort as my base had been all but obliterated and my knights + raider just gun down everything in sight with such little effort, due to the fact that they'd hit Veteran status by that point for taking down so many enemies beforehand.

The remainder of my forces then went on to mop up the Chaos base, as the AI had expended all its resources on that mass battle, cleared it all up with little resistance.

Final tally? Grey Knights left standing: 11. Chaos Space Marines: 0.

Long live the fucking Inquisition.

Risk. I was playing against two friends, and one friend put everything they had onto Australia, the other held North America, South America and Africa, and I held Asia. The one friend made a push into Asia from the East, so I made a pact with him to hold off for a while so I could save my troops and make a massive push into Australia. With only two-thirds of Australia's forces I managed to take it while only losing a quarter of my military, and then held steady as the remaining friend pushed down in one massive battle to eliminate me. I managed to take down half of his force with one-third of what he had before I was eliminated.
Simply put, it was glorious.
