[ch2]lei-wulong VS Fred_Flintstone
Please note that there is about 700 kb worth of images in this report, so you'll have to let them load :)
This is a simple report on how vultures and tanks used effectively can really kill a Protoss player.
The players are [ch2]lei-wulong and Fred_Flintstone. Archiac and myself (CarCraft) were watching.
Me, Arch and lei are regulars in the Terran Strategy channel on battle.net. Anyway, Fred dropped by in the channel and challenged someone to a game. Lei took up the challenge and me and Arch decided we'd both watch.
The map was Lost Temple, and here are the starting positions.
Lei in the brown was at the top (12) and Fred in the teal started at the bottom (6).
Me and Arch flew our command centers to the corners of the map and sent our SCVs off to have a small war in the middle.
 He won our SCV battle with 3 of the 4 remaining, much to my disgust. He then killed 2 of them and sent the other one off to hide behind a tree. But enough about that, let's get on with the game.
Lei went for a wall-in, with 2 depots and a barracks.
Fred started with 2 pylons, 2 gateways and some early gas.
Time went on, lei built 2 factories but as yet had no cloak detection.
Lei scouts and finds zealots waiting outside Fred's base.
Fred finishes warping in his templar archives.
But at the same time, lei lays down some mines outside his base's ramp.
 Here is the map at this stage. Notice the teal colored dot on the 3 o'clock expansion. It seems Fred is planning to expand there.
Fred begins warping in a nexus, refinery and pylon at his expansion.
However, something is happening at his main. A pack of vultures have run into the base and gone to attack the mineral line! Archiac believes now that lei has won. Notice that dark templar coming towards the spider mines...
... Boom! Spider mine explodes. Dark Templar explodes. Heaps of probes explode. Vultures continue to fire.
The vultures continue to harass for a moment, but Fred pulls some more dark temps in and eventually they overwhelm the vultures. Fred begins to rebuild his lost probes.
 Lei finally builds a comsat while he sends out a marine or two to check for expansions. He discovers the 3 o'clock base which has a small defense of a few zealots and goons.
A small force of vultures and tanks arrive to destroy the expansion. Lei loses most of his units however, but two tanks and a vulture remain.
Here's a funny scene where one of Fred's probes manages to kill a tank.
 --> 
Lei pulls out his remaining forces from the expansion for some unknown reason.
Uh oh! Now, a group of tanks with vulture support is headed for Fred's main. Dark Templars try to counter, some die to mines, lei is quick with the comsat and the rest fall to the tanks and vultures.
Here comes some more to the expansion!
It's over. Fred spits out the "gg" and leaves the game.
There you have it, my first battle report. Thanks to Arch for helping, and thanks to lei and Fred for playing of course!
