"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."

__________________________________________________________
OK, Dwaja and I both selected Random, Mike selected Zerg while Bredas chose Random as well, and fate gave him Terran to work with. The game was on.
Have I mentioned I hated this map? So little resource nudes and to make things worse, way to many trees. Anyway, I went to my usual Protoss Land-Map build orders: A Pylon , a Gateway, followed by an Assimilator and a Cybernitics Core at the same time. When five minutes of resource-gathering was over, I gathered eight Dragoons with Range-upgrade to take to the field of battle.
My ally, Dwaja, didn't say much. He just mentioned that he was climbing to Dark Templars. I told him the situation and he told me his. He had eight Zealots and two Dragoons all ready to fight. After some debate, we decided that I would attack Bredas, while he would attack Mike.
We met each other at the center of the map and said hello. Both of us decided that we must heavily defend this entrance so he sent four Probes there to expand. As we went further forward. We found two Tanks in Siege mode waiting on top of the walls. We tried to fend ourselves with the Dragoons, but the advantage of higher ground was proved when four Dragoons and a Zealot died and six others were injured. We attacked THEIR expansion at THEIR center entrance. And all got killed by the brutal Marines and Hydralisks.
We began pumping Carriers, Observers, Archons and Dark Templars while we fended off two attacks. I expanded onto the small ramp just above my main base while an attack by joint Terran and Zerg armies destroyed three of our precious
Pylons.
After a quick check by Observers, we concluded that there were no other enemy expansions other than the one we first encountered. At knowing this, we created a plan. I sent four Shuttles full of Dragoons and Archons to my ally's base. He had five Shuttles waiting as we flew off to attack Bredas.
Bredas got screwed. We attacked the turrets and began an Dark Templar assault. His buildings got killed, and he was eliminated. We were waiting for Mike to concede but he was an optimistic soul. Mike sent Lurkers and Hydras to assault our expansion at the middle. He even built a Hatchery at Bredas' ruined main base, in memory of him, I think. His force grew strong.
Still, we sent in even more Archons and Dragoons to kill him. And when his main base was destroyed swiftly, we went west to eat his expansions up. He conceded and we won. So short, for a two on two. |
