Hi! Here is a very nice Battle on Fistful of Sand. Tidus played with US his best army and i played with Cons my best army. Game starts with some rushes. After that we both expand and then we tech. Tidus builds some Appaches, but am i able to counter them, even if Tidus is Defcon 1 and builds also Some B2? You'll see if you watch this Replay.
Thin it was our 10. Game Today and i was just able to win 2 or 3, but these was our longest battle. STCAB, dont worry, im in with some Towers, because i need them vs US biggrin.gif
I'd like to see this replay reviewed, becuase i think its good one!
Review(by KingsRevenge): The game starts off with Biggy at the bottom and T1 at the top. Biggy goes for a conventional BO, built places the actual buildings(rax and vehicle factory) in the middle of the city ruins creating a maze to enter his base from the north but an open gap from the south and east side. T1 goes for your fat vee rush, and a quick expand. At the beginning things look favorable for Biggy because of his way to force t1 to be non aggresive and want to go attack the south east side. However, T1 is stubborn and continually presses an attack from the north. After one small attack, he sends in one hummer getting it dumbly killed. Why he did it? I do not know but I'm assuming it was a mistake, because later he sent in 3 fatvees to the building next to the vehcile factory. This was an impressive tactic by T1 and if I were him, I would've been like "HAHA, I got him". Nevertheless, Biggy gets his roll on and gets out 2 sniper buggies to wipe out the building housing T1's troops. Now T1 is in a bind since his large offensive force was nailed and Biggy is rockin and rollin with the sniper buggies that CST got with the expansion. Wow, nice micro by T1 to come in with a lone hummer and take out the 2 sniper buggies. BTW, I'm reviewing this as I watch smile.gif. On Biggys counter attack, he had basicly 6 javalins and a bradley given to him on a silver platter by T1. Apparently the expansion base that T1 was building at might have kept him preoccupied because Biggy had an easy time mowing down the javs.
WOAH!! 3 Chev BTR took the bradley to critical in 3 hits smile.gif. The bradley only has like a piece of health left. Nice work for Biggy just to get a BTR up to that level. I'm sure it helps when that was probably the one that easily ate those javs for lunch. One thing to note is Biggy did a good game check when he built a hospital to not only build sniper buggies, but also contain POW's. Since both players are using a heavy amount of infantry the chance of capturing POW"s is high and the improved income helps, especially during the early-midgame transition. Ok now we just had both players do some pretty nice attacks on each other with T1 almost killing a refinery but since he was trying to defend his base while attacking he missed the opportunity.
After the last full force attack from both players, T1 manages to go Apaches while Biggy attemps to harvest resorucs from the 3 resource pools on his side of the map. He is succesful for the most part, but his defenses are spread very thin allowing a lone apache from T1 to do some devastating damage. Next the air prescense of the battle commences and both players are firing aircraft back and forth at each other. Because Biggy has the cost effective CST fighter/bombers he has the early jump on doing hte most destructive damage before T1 can get teh slow building B2 bombers out of the airfield. Why most USA players go B2 I don't know. I prefer to go A-10 to atleast help me defend. Plus B2's die to easily from those pesky CST turrets. Just ahd to note, a well palced turret by Biggy on T1's middle expansion caused him to lose a resource spot. Not only did it lose him the money, but that turret killed 2 of his B2's. 20:50 - Around that point in the game ,watch a perfectly executed air maneuver. First you have T1 using planes the way they were meant to be used in AoW. First send fighters as escort with the bomber following closely behind. Thanks to the early warning system Biggy launches his fighters as well, except they apepar behind T1's aircraft causing both fighters on each team to be lost, but the bomber succesfully completing its bomb run. After that you see some more air to air attacks on teh ground targets, but the amount of money and sparse well placed defenses by Biggy win him the game!
