Btw, I took this game to report, because really close games take very long (3-5 hours) and are therefor very hard to report. Additonaly there is no replay feature, or observer spots in maps, so this had to be written through the memory of =-FK-= Freiherr von Darmstadt. Its also the reason why the screenshots are limited to the ones I posted.
Additionally this is my first REAL battlereport.
Pls take this all into account dear raters |

Now that I'm in the Mark4 rater selection training program, I've been forced to read reports that I wouldn't otherwise. Such as this one. And I'm going to say that what this had was great POTENTIAL . . . but little more.
Let's start with a brief overview of the good, followed by a slightly longer look at the bad. The writing was nice, the images were decently well done ( some minor HTML flaws like a caption being not fully under an image, and that arrow wasn't really that good looking ). Personally, I wouldn't have the patience required to play this game, but . . . well, that's not really an issue here.

It all boils down to something quite simple, something I'm surprised you didn't catch up on: this particular match was really, truly, horrendous. I mean, cmon. This could be the most one-sided game I've read about. Ever. There wasn't even an attempt to make the outcome seem iffy, not even once. It was ownage from start to end. Also, I would've liked it if you explained what all those units do . . . the screenshots really didnt mean anything to me.
Hence, I'd have to give this a 5. It doesn't deserve bronze because you tried hard, the writing was good, the images were decent and the potential was there. But I'd certainly not give it anything higher.

Thanks for compliments and critic Dag.
I have to say I would be a bit disappointed about a 5, for I am in my starts of battlereporting and any text-only today gets a 5 :(
Also my native language isnt even english.
Well, make that a 6 pls, I dont wanna loose my average *wahhhhhhhh*
Anyways, good luck on your training program, hope you make it, you're cool.

I know that this game was one-sided btw. But fact is, that intense Sudden Strike Games last HOURS literraly. Its hard to report on those, for you only last on your memory for Sudden Strike Reports.
Sry for not explaining to much about the game, I see the fault here and will try to make it better next time |

Well, most has already said...
But I'll just restate :)
The game was horribly one sided, or at least that's how it seemed. To me the BR just said "He attacked, killed this base, this base, this base, and won." I didn't really see any, even minor, victories for the other side. The pictures didn't really help illustrate the battle because of the fact that most people haven't played the game, and have no clue what they (the pictures) mean. There were two saving graces for this report though...the fact that it was on a game besides StarCraft and the gif animation. At first I was going to say 4, but when I take those things into consideration, I give it a 5. |

Funny thing is RubiksCube, it would interesting to read one of those hour long intense games... and as far as those being hard to Battlereport on, I really dont see how it would be much diffrent than a long StarCraft game. Another thing is that I used to play SuddenStrike and still sometimes do, and you really didnt explain a great deal of the strategies and tactics you need to use to win, I dunno if its just me, but for long ranged tanks and art. Id ALWAYS forcefire.. anyway
This is a 6..
good writing
diffrent game
nice pictures |

erm, some games just aren't conducive to battlereporting and this is one of them
i'm afraid i'm gonna have to give this a 4.5, i mean there are many, many things i would rather do than read this battlereport
it's not you, rubik, it's the game. |

ummm..if u want to advertise that game, i woulden buy it
unless starcraft didnt exist, which then, there would only
be..<gasp>...command..and...conquer!! AHHHHHH!!! which in
that case i would gladly pick up sudden strike. but fact
is, every rts sucks like a hoover compared to starcraft :O
And as for the report, most of us ppl dont speak sudden
strike, so talk to us in terms we understand, k? I mean, i
didnt have the slightest clue what those units were, or how
those buildings were made, or what that blue blimp thingie
was, ect. but then again, i dont have room to talk sience
i havent made a "port and wont till i get a comp of my own.
so how do i play sc? i go to my friends house...ALOT. He
has sc, and i play it untill my eyes fall out.
anyway, fair report 7 mayb

Nice pictures, but I didn't have a clue what they meant. Really... if this had been a Starcraft report it probably would have gotten around a 6 or so, but since this is a primarily Starcraft site, I for one had no idea what anything was. What were the blimps anyway? Were they flags?
I'm sorry, I guess I shouldn't be so harsh (you did warn that it wasn't a Starcraft battlereport in the beggining)... but, it would be nice if you explained what the units did a little more.
Keep in mind, though, that if this had been a Starcraft battlereport, it still would have been confusing, since no unit names were actually mentioned (as far as I can tell).

i like the report and i like the sudden strike game. the game is very difficult to learn and you have a lot of possibilitys to win a match! respect to this kinds of sudden strike players and respect to the writer of this war report! do you have more infos about these sudden strike clans and about the online scene?

Well, I'd pretty much rehash what everyone else said - game too one-sided, pics looked ok but without context make no sense, etc.
The aniGIF at the end would have been better if it had been slowed down just a tad to show the action a little better.
And while it's interesting to read a non-SCBW report, if you know it's a game not many ppl will know, it is always worthy of a paragraph or two of pregame text describing units, basic tactics involved, etc. |

The game is made by a russian programer team.

Did you get the pictures by putting Army Toys in the sandbox, or were the Russian game creaters drunk when they made this?
