New review format btw ^^

Game summary- Allnicks played an overall excellent game. In the beginning you took both banks, which was impressive. However, after a few short minutes, Raptox retook the southerwestern bank though you kept the northeastern one.

Meanwhile, Raptox started getting some javs/vees but quickly got up to bradleys and marines.

After early game conflicts and bank grab, allnicks rapidly took the middle and built a derrick/refinery there. This is where raptox made a mistake- you were fairly weak in the middle unitl you got the heavy snipers ambushed in the trees and buildings. If he had attacked and taken the middle, he would have much more money to spend on his army.

Raptox was building up, the field hospital was soon maxed out with POW's which is impressive and was the only thing that kept him going in the game so long.

After allnicks took the middle, there were some more moves on the part of Raptox to attack you, namely the use of bradley/jav combo which was effective, even though it didn't take out anything extremely important.

After this you teched up and started getting spinners. However, a good attack force from Raptox consisting of abrams, avenger, and a vee swept across the western flank which punched deep into your base and was only stopped by good SHIELD micro and a comanche that couldn't have come any sooner.

Raptox meanwhile started rebuilding his attack force of abrams, this time with more air cover tongue.gif. He also went for an air control tower and some F-15's/B2's which helped him throughout the match. However, his use of B2's in the beginning was less than desirable, having $8000 worth of plane being blow out of the air by only a few units. Using F-15's heading in first is a much better plan.

Once the attack had been defeated, it was mainly massing Spinners/Comanches. Raptox tried more assaults with Abrams trying to take the middle but your air power due to the ungodly amounts of money you had let you hire mercenary jets. Raptox took the middle with a good attack force which was simply amazing.

He then headed up to assault your main/last base. However, he simply did not have enough tanks and air cover to do anything about your massive wave of comanches/spinners that decimated his abrams. Then you set in your army.

Watching that stream of yellow down the map was quite a moment, I admit. Lots of spinners. Lots and lots of Spinners.

You crushed him, he B2'ed your attack force which was a good move but you had plenty of troops to finish the job.

Some things that worried me were where you had a ton of money (excess of 20 grand) and not doing anything with it. You could have been building spinners, comanches, superweapons, air, anything than just sitting there looking at your bank account. tongue.gif

Raptox played a very good game as well; however, I think more harassing with vees/javs would have paid off and more air cover is necessary against those comanches. Nice use of POW's though, near the end you had 19/20 in hospitals ohmy.gif

Allnicks's player rating- 8/10.

Raptox's player rating- 7/10.


Game rating- 8/10.
