-=Early Game=-
My CC lands and my 4 SCV's pile out, and I quickly assign them the task of gathering minerals, and build another SCV. I don't remember the exact build order but I got a Depot first, then a Barracks, another depot, and a bunker (all the while building SCV's). My Barracks comes in and I order up 2 Marines. I start an Academy, and another Barracks. The Academy and Barracks finish, and 2 more marines pop out.
I plop 2 Marines in the Bunker early, leaving 2 out to roam around. 6 Zerglings come running up and my 2 Marines dispatch and kill I think 3, and they start to chew on my first Barracks. I bring out the other 2 Marines from the Bunker, have them fire to get the attention of the last 2 lings and pop them back in the Bunker (which was near my choke). They follow, I damage them, then DaiHawk420 moves them towards my peon line, just as 2 more Marines pop out, and kill them.
Shew.
That was close.
I get an Engineering Bay near the South of my base (See pics) and a factory also. By now I am pumping Marines and Medics out. I haven't said a word to my ally (bad, shame shame) but I noticed he has expanded. I have a comsat by now, and look in both bottom corners to see what my enemies are up too, in the Purple Toss corner, I see like 4 Gateways, but no units. Hm.
In the Zerg corner I also see no units other than drones and a few Sunkens.
I am really confused by now :)
I continue pumping m&m's out, and I plop another Depot down in my choke, and box in the other entrance to my base so there is a very small opening (but large enough for tanks) to get out of, but it's in the shape of an L (see pics) with 2 Bunkers and 2 Seiged Tanks. I get about another 4 Tanks out and set them up, and some more bunkers. I decide (after scanning opponents) it was time to expand.
I move 2 SCV's, a couple of marines and 2 medics up to my natural. I start a CC, meanwhile I scan again.
Toss: I see no units, but a heck of a lot of buildings.
Zerg: I see Guardians. *gulp* I notice I have not ONE Missile Turret up, and slap a few up.
By now, my CC has finished and I pump out more SCV's, building 2 Bunkers, and moving 2 Tanks up to Seige (one inbetween the Gas and Minerals, and one on the otherside of my CC). I fill up the Bunkers, pondering what my opponents are doing...
The massive, ugly forms of Guardians appear over the horizon... of my allies base. His carriers are able to fend it off. I build a Science Facility after a Spaceport and get Irradiate for those flying husks.
-=Mid-Game=-
I've got 3 Barracks by now, and my base has only been attacked once at the very beginning, so I'm thinking Purple Toss is getting lots of Carriers to wipe me out with.
I've got 1/1 upgraded shells Marines, and I load 7 into 2 Dropships, each Dropship with a Medic. I drop them off at the Zerg's main base (he had expanded to natural also) and stimmed the marines, but do to bad micro on my part, only 3 marines survive after -one- sunken colony, and one medic. I move them up, away from the next sunken which is attacking on the edge's of it's ability too (he only had 3 total at his main) and into his drone line. I stim the marines and wipe most of them out, and Henry, Joe, Stewie and Marie all wait for reinforcements.
And boy do they come.
The 2 Dropships went back and got 3 more Medics, the rest Marines, and plopped them down with the 4 Survivors, healing Marie and working on the nearest Hatchery. They then move down, stimming, and wipe out the rest of the base. By now my ally has brought in Carriers and wiped out the force of Muti's, Guardians and Devourers, and leveled most of the Zerg base, but he still has some drones so along with the 4 survivors, the group moves up to finish off DaiHawk420. He leaves quickly.
I have been scanning opponent all the while (not realizing he had made 3 Stargates! (I was scanning in wrong place). I have 4 Science Vessels, and this becomes decisive!
-=Late Game=-
I drop my guys off at his natural expansion, with no defense, and wipe it out. Meanwhile a fleet of Carriers and warped in (Arbiters) Dragoons appears at my allies base and begans the destruction. NS-Steel screamed throughout this whole attack "save me! Help!" "you're such a bad teammate for not helping!"
I figured, I'd attack XTC's main while he had nothing there...
More M&M arrive, and a Science Vessel.
My group charges down the ramp, begins firing on the Gateways nearby (again, bad micro on my part) and are quickly wiped out by 2 Reavers.
Henry, Joe, Stewie and Marie went down fighting. They shall be remembered. *pauses in honor of them*
I move my group of 4 Sci Vessels to NS-Steel's new base, where he's got a Stargate or two warping in Corsairs. He has been pissed at me for a while for not helping him, but I figured it was all good. We were up 2 teammates to one! :)
I build more M&M, and the attack comes on his base.
The 5-6 Carriers show up, only to be EMP shockwaved to death, allowing the Corsairs to wipe them out.
NS-Steel: "Thanks! That saved me!"
I knew what I was doing I tell ya! :)
I've got Ghosts with lockdown by now, and my group of 3 Dropships and a Sci Vessel moves back down towards XTC's main. I decide to ignore the Reavers, and hide behind a large group of his buildings (pic) and make it so he can't build more Carriers.
Again, 2 Reavers show up, but are locked down, and EMPed. I am stimming all the way, and knock down his Fleet Beacon and start work on more of the buildings, stimming, healing with medics, and locking down when needed. I had done just a little damage when XTC's left the game.
*Victory Cheer*
It was a great game, I applaud all the players.
Things I Learned
1.) NEVER Give up, no matter what. NS-Steel thought he was dead but came back to help get the victory.
2.) M&M rocks :)
3.) So do Tanks, even though they only fired 2 shots at a passing Templar :P
4.) Always use that scanner!
5.) Sci-Vessels dominate
6.) If your ally is being swamped, help a LITTLE, but most likely the opponent attacking is sending most of what they have, go finish them. If you start attacking they'll either stop attacking your ally and come to kill you (by the time you leave) or you damage them alot and either way your ally has time to start a new base.
Now, for the pics!
The beginning... this shows my L shaped block of my entrance.
This is my choke, and some of my units above.
Notice that the upper right and lower right bases are both gone... this is why my teammate complained, with good reason I suppose, but it worked out fine.
My troops fighting in memory of Henry, Joe, Stewie, and Marie, and using his own buildings for cover!
The final score.

PS --> I can't get the pics to load, it keeps giving them a / at the end (like screen01.jpg/"> if someone could fix this, I would be most happy because I know you can't get a good rating without pics! :)
This also happens on the apostrophes... Hmm... any idea why? |
