Lifetime Rating for -=1999=-: 6.7500 |  | me: terran on left
him: terran up top
Terran vs terrans are so fun. Its a race to see who gets the first factory. Then its a race to see who gets the first wraith squad to stop expansions.
My foe obviously didn't know these facts and ops for a double racks when I scout him. I did go random so he really didn't know what build order to follow. :)
He did hit the gas early thou. :(
Back at camp I've got a racks and gas going with 2 marines in a bunker at my choke. I slam my factory late due to going for a depot to get my supply up.
With a factory done I build a starport and research spider mines. I scout again to see mass marines and 2 medics.
ACT 1: Dirty Tricks
I slam a academy to get better vision via comstat. Vulture production beings and mines are to be put at his choke. On the way to the choke my my first vulture dies to a force of marines. He's rushing !!! I grab my next two vultures and quickly mine my front door.
12 Marines come. 12 Marines turn to a pool of blood. Curses are uttered and -=1999=- laughs at the underhandedness and trickery of his plan.
As the marines are coming I was headed to his base in a dropship with 2 vultures and a tank. I had this great plan to drop the tank on the low ground beside his gas at the top starting spot, then drop the vultures off on the ledge to sight for the tank and kill as many peons as possible.
But alas, he had a tank coming with his marines so I dropped the tank onto the cliff at my natural to abolish his threat.
During this time I tried my best to multi-task and go for an expansion to float to my natural and wraiths and cloak research.
The 2 vulture drop goes on without the tank just for harrassment purposes. I kill 3 scvs before M&M's get them.
A successful trade. Turrets are being constructed at his main as I drop.
ACT 2: Aim high in the Air Force
I start my second starport and 2nd factory also. I send my first 4 wraith to a part of his peon line that is not in range of the turrets. I kill some more scvs but didn't count them cause I was just watching the minimap as I macroed. More tanks/vultures, more wraiths/sci vessels, and some M&M's are produced with no reports from the enemy.
I use wraiths to patrol the islands for expansion attempts and the board is littered with mines and scattered vultures on patrol.
I scan to see he is attempting to expand to his natural without first fortifying his cliff. :)
I start my next CC to float down to the bottom, and I hit the covert ops and get ghosts and add a silo to my natural expansion.
A marine that I send to scout gets blasted as soon as he walks out my front door. I scan there. bunkers, tanks, and turrets. A pretty good amount of force is there. My now squadron of wraiths would be killed easily with the turrets. I do have 4 tanks. 1 on the cliff with turrets there also. The other 3 are at my base. I seige up on the edge of my main's cliff. Scan. BOOM!!!! BAM!!!! My tanks on the high ground pound away at his forces. His tanks discharge rounds also but do little damage cause of the high ground.
ACT 3: Nuclear Age
Scanning indicates a base at his natural. Two ghosts (with cloak and ocular implants) are ordered up in a dropship and head to the cliff.
I paint a pretty red dot on his CC. I can feel the tension in the air as I know he is scrambling to find the ghost.
I rebuild the nuke ASAP. And do it again. this time the CC doesn't survive.
He concedes with a GG, and a procedes to disc on me. What a Lamer. He also utters something like "I'm usually toss." "Terran is my worst race."
I guess the extreme pressure of having to mirco just as much as marcoing caused him to go into a disconnection/depression fit.
Lessons Learned: Nukes are demoralizing. Nukes are fun. Everyone should have one, even if its only like a pet. You know kinda like evenyone needs a pet bengalass. Gold Bengalass , that is. :)
