Much better situations Deadcode had in 27:12 where he could have simply hugged the max-left girder from its left side (standing on the thin layer of the snow) and use Uzi through the Snow to kill 1 Hp guy
I don't remember considering that move, but if I did, I probably discarded the idea because it seemed too risky (both in terms of a self-hit and not hitting the target). But clearly I would've been wrong to think that, because there's a 99.710% (±0.024%, taken from 50000 attempts) chance of the attack succeeding in this way (see attachment).
maybe even a HHG placed on the left of the Dangling Pointer would have killed that 1 hp.
Considered that, and discarded for obvious reasons: If it failed, which looked likely, it'd put me in a much worse position, with only 1 cannon fodder worm to protect me against losing the invasion initiative. But as it turns out, it would have killed his worm with 4 hp damage (see attachment).
But now that I think about it, even if it didn't kill his worm, it might've actually improved my position. A Girder block of the HHG crater would only barely block worms from getting through, and would allow animals through either the top of the bottom. Of course, the only animal I had was Pigeon, but he didn't know that. So maybe he would have gone further into hiding on the left side of the map and done a girder block much further to the left, giving me control of more territory, and with only 2 worms to juggle instead of 3.
