The most important part of this battle is what led up to it. This was a planned battle, a battle with a meaning behind it and a reason for battle. This wasn't the Vietnamese War, no it had a deep, patriotic meaning, much like WWII. The persecution had to come to end. And so the battle line was drawn.
I met Tv-Face, a fellow veteran, in a chat room and we began talking, and some how the topic strayed onto how Americans could kick Canadian's asses any day. As we discussed the stupid mistakes Canadians make, I accidentally typed "Yeah, Canadians, what losers," without whispering it to Tv-Face. All 30 people in the chat room read what I said and 2 started to bitch about how I was dead wrong, and so the game began. Both of the enemies are Canadians, whereas Tv and I are Americans, and damn proud of it. Both teams had a goal in mind: We were determined to make sure the US remained the top country in the world, and the other two were determined to try to at least raise their standing in the world above Russia. (Im not racist in anyway, but this is what we actually said, just joking to each other).
I started off with a barracks, mass marine medic strategy and then tanks as quickly as possible and Tv face decided to tech a little and possibly go for archons or reavers.
Our enemies chose different strats and went mass marine all the way, and mass zealots all the way.
After about 5 minutes of play, a strike force wasted my allies base, and I was too far away and had too few units to help him. Thus making it a 2v1 battle till the death. I busied myself with tanks and more marines when 12 zealots and 12 marines with medics stormed my base. I stopped their assault right in its tracts with the use of a surrounded bunker and a series of spidermines. They stood no chance and died easily. It was my turn to attack so I sent 8 marines and snuck around behind purples base and then behind his probes. As I said before, he was going mass zealots. He had to attack my marines one at a time with one zealot, all I can say is the damage I inflicted was horrendous.
Feeling cocky, the terran opponent marched out of his base with 20 1/1 marines and 5 medics. I don't think I've ever seen 2 spidermines do so much damage. I think 10 marines and 1 medic survived, but 5 vultures took care of the remainders. I used this free time to expand and then expand again.
It wasn't long before 20 zealots and 5 dragoons began to pound my bunkers. Things were looking very grim since I had most of my army stationed by an expanse. I got lucky, however and was able to chase off the entire army when the encountered 2 mines. I guess the protoss player thought there were more, but there weren't. My army returned and cleaned up as many units as possible but about half ran away. Seeing an opportunity, I attacked the protoss player, setting up a bunker/tank wall outside his base and pounding it from a distance. My anti-marine army (vultures) had grown to almost 2 dozen when 30 or so marines with medics attacked my expanse that wasn't near my main base. Good thing vultures are damn fast. Now both enemies were without armies. While my tanks and marines pounded and defeated the protoss player, my vulture cleaned up the expanse and main base of the terran. Both surrendered at the same time.
Lesson to be learned- 1 American > 2 Canadians (j/k)
