"Last in line was Advisor "CB". His nickname was based on "Cattlebruiser", although none of the men were quite sure where the name had come from. Some infantrymen whispered that it came from a particularly bad night back home involving thirteen shots of whiskey, a herd of cattle, and a twenty-two year-old Animal Husbandry major. Others swore on the fact that a bloody cow's head was hung in his locker, a testament of what would happen to the men if they ever got out of line. Whatever the case, CB was fiercely competent."

Just a little tid bit of info: as horrible as my terran game is, one thing I've noticed is that practically nobody uses ghosts.....they're really incredible little units, lockdown kix ass, ok, i'm done rambling.

This is a very good text only battle report. About what mine should have been like. Good job. Also not having screenshots makes it easier on use with slow modems. I hate ones with wya too many shots that take forever to load. Great jop guys!

Nice report of a "hmm" game. That ranks above "meh" but below "how cool". Good descriptions, I understood well what was going on. I find that you get better ratings if you observe games rather than report on one you were in, and also some MILD pictures help. (As in, really cool pictures, but not a whole lot of them. Too many pictures just sucks.) If it takes more than a minute or two to load up on a modem, that's too many pictures, in general. Unless they can read the report without the pictures. Damn. Now I'm rambling. Oh, and 5th comment, as if it matters.

very enjoyable read. Good scouting saved you from BCs. Nice work.

Good point, Apner - I did realize that I focused way too much on myself, but that's the way it goes. I couldn't be everywhere and watch everything, I just tried to share as much of the experience as possible.

Yes ghosts are rarely used, cuz they SUCK!

O.K, they don't totally suck but come on, lock down barely works on anything worth locking down besides toss and bcs.

Cloaking means nothing now adays thanks to dts and lurkers.
Devourers? What's with that? It's almost as degrading as valks, I mean those guys just SUCK! Oh well...

BTW:How the hell did u pull a nuke off without d-matrix support? Some guys really need comstat stations..........

Lockdown lets you cut through a tank push. 'nuff said.

Cloaking's still viable, DTs and lurks don't change that. You'd be surprised at the lack of detection around, especially with toss and Terran. These guys just didn't aim their comsat well (they thought my ghost came in through the front door).

Devourers kill everything in the air, and I mean everything. A devourer will win one on one with just about any other air unit, and they're _cheap_. "at the end, those cruisers weren't even firing" -wedge

Nice report, Fuzzus. Gob, I've found that just about every unit in the game can be used in some clever way. Ghosts are wonderful little buggers if micro'd properly... 6 fully charged ghosts > 12 cruisers (as long as you have something around to clean up after they're all locked down. Nukes are good for that). I've never had much success with devourers or valkyries, but massive valkyrie fleets are truly scary (I've seldom had the patience to amass one), and I've heard a few testimonials about devourers.

Since when can DTs and lurkers hit stuff in the air and drop nukes, by the way? :)

just to clear things up, valks suck royal ghoat balls, unless facing mutalisks or scouts or wraiths all at 0/0

but, a 9 devourer 12 valk force will kill ANYTHING in the air

9+2 damage = 12 damage per rocket. lets consider armor. 8 damage per rocket

rather than the 5. - 2 it is now :) (explosive+splash gayness, thats why valks suck)

Great job done on as well the fight as the report!

GREAT report. i loved every bit of it. I have gotten a force of 12 valks before and kicked a zerg to hell by killing all his ol's and mopping up with m&m with tanks. i like them for that.

good report, I think this should have gotten better than a 7, because this was a good game, i've read single sided beatdowns that got 8-9's, I think that thats sad myself
