I guess It's my obligation to throw in a warning here about the large picture volume. I did the whole report (except three pics) in jpeg, just for you modem users. Live with it. Go buy cable. Don't whine.
At the start of the game DrAwsome spawned the blue Terrans at the 12 spot while illgetdroped spawned the whiteTerrans at 6. I'll use yellow for droped due to the fact that the main text is white. As the game starts, both players send their respective SCVs to mine....let's take a look at the build orders.

During this time the two players scout each other. An amusing little situation occurs when illgetdroped's SCV reaches DocA's base and begins to drill into it. In responce, DocA brings an SCV over to repair while sending his scouting SCV back up to kill droped's SCV. No damage was done accept the little bit of minerals required to repair and some distraction.
DocA starts massing gollies and moves the Command Center in his main to his natural, along with a barracks, while droped sends a Wraith and a Vulture up to harass DocA while setting up his expansion at 3 natural.
The Wraith runs right into the DocA's Goliaths, turns tail and runs like hell, and escapes with about half health. The Vulture chills out at DocA's choke and drops it's mines.
The next little bit of action was when droped sends a few vultures over to harass the natural expansion. He drops a couple of mines in the peon line before the Vultures are destroyed. A Turret near by helps DocA hunt out the mines.
Shortly after that, DocA gathers a forces of 8 Goliaths, a Tank, and a Vulture. They run into the small containment droped had set up, consisting of the three mines, which popped up and got destroyed, two wraiths which cloaked and shot at the force for a few seconds before scan was employed, and they were quickly destroyed, and a tank which ran back to droped's main.
The group stopped at droped's natural. If you look at the minimap you'll see a little white dot up at 3's main.
That's because illgetdroped is expanding up there. He slaps down a Factory (the dot that you see) and then starts a Command Center at the resources. This brings his factory count to four, while DrA has three.
DrA sends a couple of SCVs over to 3, assumingly to expand, and discovers droped's expansion. He sends his containment Goliaths, along with some that he had in his main to kill the expansion. droped brings a some Tanks and Wriaths up from his main, and along with the Tanks and Wraith that were at the expansion, puts down the threat.
droped then brings the four Tanks at 3's natural over to attack DrA. They run into a bunch of Goliaths and run back to 3, but DrA managed to take out three of the four before they got away. The goliaths gave chace and killed a couple more Tanks at 3 before a freshly made tank popped out of the Factory there, and one that was already there, sieged and killed the remaining Goliaths.
Again, droped sends four Tanks to DrA and again they run into Goliaths (this time joined by a tank), and again they run away, only this time they only lose one and the Goliaths don't give chase.
Instead four Goliaths hop into a Dropship and land at 3's main. droped runs the SCVs away while sending up some tanks to kill the goliaths, and sieging two near DrA's choke.
DrA sends up a couple of Tanks to help the Goliaths out, while sieging one by 3's cliff....a full siege of 3's main is getting set up.
illgetdroped repairs the Command Center, sieges a couple of tanks at 3, and expands to 9's main.
Four tanks push forward int 3's main, to be greated by some of droped's Tanks. The Command Center is put back into yellow hit point range before being lifted off again, and all but one SCV is killed.
droped brings in his group of Wraiths, (he has about a control of them) to help stop the siege. They cloak and harass a bit before they get scanned and raped.
DrA then moves his force of nine Goliaths and three Tanks to go attack droped's 9 o'clock expo. They are met by a Tank and three Wraiths. Needless to say droped's force was quite raped. droped tries to move his Command Center back to his main, but it's to late. But droped sieged three Tanks at 9's mineral only, so when DrA tried to bring his men back home he lost almost half before keeping the rest at 9's main.
Also during this time DrA expanded to the upper left island, and shortly after droped floated a Command Center over the the right island.
All the while the war for 3 raged on. DrA would drop some guys on the cliff, and droped's tanks would destroy them, taking a few casualties.
As the siege on 3's main wears on, still relatively unsuccesful, DrA sends nineteen Goliaths to 3's natural. The goliaths blow up the four tanks guarding expansion, and tear throught the buildings. 1.08 Gollies = rape. droped tries to save the damned expansion with some more men from his main, but reinforcements from DrA's main, including some tanks, crush the attempt.
Both players have now mined out their mains, and DrA has also mined out his natural. So this is what the current active mining bases look like this....
At this point I was thinking droped was more then a little screwed...'till I looked over at his base and saw the gayest thing. BCs... And yet they just might work.
Though DrA is doing a pretty good job raping the 3 expansion with a Tank/Goliath push, droped takes it in stride, setting up an expansion at 9's mineral only expansion. That is of course until DrA dropped four Tanks on the cliff and blew it to hell. droped sends his remaining SCVs to his own mineral only, which he also recently aquired.
droped then takes a strong change in strategy, going from heavy metal to Battle Cruiser/Marine.......eh? Well...whatever works.
Well, I guess at this point DrA was tierd of being out resourced, because he, at the same time mind you, expanded to 9 main, and turbo newbied droped's natural. Yeah, that'll learn 'em.
droped now sends a bumload of Marines, a few Meds, and three Tanks to attack 9. Luckly for DrA he had ten Goliaths and eight Tanks just sitting in the middle, assumingly preparing to attack, and once he sent them over the attack was easily put down....But wait! Remember those BCs? Well, droped now sends five of them over to 9, and hit's 'em up the ass. Kinda like....oh nevermind, that analogy has been pointed out at br.com so many times it's not even worth it. Anyway.....
The BCs manage to take out the Command Center and a few SCVs before they run into the goliaths and have to retreat, losing one of they're number.
DrA once again tries to destroy the 3 o'clock expansion, but it's promptly put down again. Being the persistant little booger he is, he's already expanded to 9's main and natural...again.
Now droped is ready to win this thing. He sends some Tanks/BCs up to siege 12. The Tanks rip through the goliaths but the BCs get distracted........ (you'll understand in a second).
DrA also makes a huge effort at this point, sending a ton of Goliaths/Tanks to destroy droped's base, starting at the natural. They destroy all the marines there, losing most of the Goliaths, but leaving Tanks intact for both players. This is where the BCs get distracted. Leaving their Tank comrades to destroy DrA's base, they go to save their own. The BCs having no trouble taking out the Tanks....funny thing, BCs > Tanks. At the same time DrA's Goliaths push out of the semi-containment that droped had set up with the Tanks at 12. This is gonna be a close one.....
The Goliaths proceed out of DrA's base, but get nailed by Tanks hidden up on 3. Only five make it past DrA's choke.
droped keeps it up, sending his BCs to destroy 9's natural. Then to press on to DrA's main. Seeing the futility of the situation, and the fact that he now had no bases except his island, DrA says his 'gg's and leaves.

~Don't be afraid to switch tactics...illgetdroped switched from heavy metal to BCs/Tanks/Rines, it won him the game.
~Don't give up...lots of times in this game I would have just said good game and left, but these guys played on,
~Never leave an expansion to the other player...even after they would lose an expo, these guys would start rebuilding it right away.
~Always scout...to find said expansions
This has been a +Mep+ production. What this means is you've just wasted your time, the report you read probably sucked quite hard. | |
