INTRO:
Hey ppl. This is my 3rd BR and I STILL haven't figured out how to put in the pictures. I have like 20 images in my directory from this report and my previous one. Anyways, one of these days, I'll get it done. This report happened a couple of hours ago over LAN. I played w/ my friend KenMansucks against Cocomo and Metalman. KMS (my ally, too long of a nick=) was Zerg while I, Cocomo and Metalman are Terran. I know Cocomo and Metalman are turtles who like to build up until they are invincible with BC fleets and stuff so this time, I engage them, my way.
MAP PLAYED: Big Game Hunters (sorry, everybody likes this map! =)
Starting Positions: Me-->12:00, KenManSucks-->Upper left (just beside me), Cocomo-->Lowest right, Metalman-->1:00 (right beside me too hehe)
SUMMARY OF BATTLE:
I did a standard build order, building a barracks w/ my 7th SCV and a Supply Depot w/ my 8th. I pump out marines while I build more SCVs and build a refinery. I build another barracks and then an academy. I added-on a com-sat, built some medics, a bunker at my choke, and a factory. I scout w/ M&Ms and find that Metalman was just beside me. I destroy a bunker and 2 turrets at his base before reinforcements from Cocomo, mostly marines arrived and turned the tide against me. My scouts fought bravely and died with honor, taking along w/ them twice or more number of marines. My medics though, fleed unharmed back to base where a new platoon awaited their command. Meanwhile, I had built an armory, a starport and a 2nd factory. I researched charon boosters while I started pumping out more marines and started building goliaths. When I had about 6 goliaths, I attack. My force consisted of 12 marines, 7 medics, 6 goliaths. My ally brought with him 12 Hydras. We fought against metalmans defenses and many a zerg and marine were brought down by siege tanks. A couple of Wraiths were pestering us but once I scanned them, they were easily disposed off by level 1 charon boostered hellfire rockets. I send in reinforcements from my base consisting always of 6 marines and 6 goliaths ( I didn't even bother to build medics anymore) I had hotkeyed my 2 barracks 1 and 2 and my 2 factories 3 and 4 and rallied them at one spot so what I did was just group them together and away they go to battle hehehe. I built more of the walkers and grunts while I built my sci facility since Wraiths from Cocomo were getting more and more annoying. Finally, we brought down Metalman's base. It was just our luck that he was beside us. Our final attack force consisted of about 16 + marines, 12+ goliaths, 3 medics and constant reinforcements from me. My partner contributed with 12 Hydras and a couple, I think about 6-8 zerglings. When everything was razed, Kms, my ally, was left with 4 Hydras while I was left w/ 3(!) badly mauled Goliaths and 2 badly injured marines. I msg him "regroup at base" but while on the way back, we encounter "reinforcments" from Cocomo consisting of marines and some goliaths, which decimated our exhausted force.
But back at my base, whoah! I had more than 14 Goliaths and more than 20+ marines and I told my ally "attack now to catch him off guard"
After sending in about 20 HYdras, we attack together. We encountered 3 BCs along the way to his base which my goliaths destroyed with ease. His forces were scattered and consisted of a Goliath here, a marine there, a siege tank here, you get the idea. When we reached his base though it was a different story. He had 2 bunkers at his choke and 4 siege tanks behind it. We push through but at a great cost. After getting rid of his defense, I was left w/ 4 goliaths and 6 marines. I quickly attack his barracks and destroy it while I go back to my base, group another 6 marine, 6 goliath team and macro them to his base. My friend's hydras were all dead. But I can see victory now as my goliaths and a fresh group of Hydras arrived. After that it was over. I had a total force of about 30 goliaths scattered around the map and about 30 marines.
For fun, me and my partner battled. He suggested it and I was caught off-guard since most of my troops were commited in battle. I quickly destroy his attack group (the one he used to attack Cocomo) and rush back to my base which was scarcely defended by a bunch of marines and goliaths. I see a stream of Hydras rush at my base. My troops fought to the bitter end but since the reinforcements came in 1s and 2s and not in force, I was destroyed in about 8 minutes. Hehehe, it was fun though and I now I could've won if I had just regrouped first. I dunno if I could've done anything to his base tho since he had 9(!) sunken colonies piled on top of the other in a tictactoe pattern.
The game lasted for 1:08.
Any comments, suggestionS? I dunno if goliaths+marines mix but they worked pretty good for me anyways, any suggestions would be good.
Thanks! |
