Act of War: Direct Action

Hi!
this is an very interesting US mirror on Fistfull.
I Played Aow this evening after a long time again. After testing those Alca strat with Mercs, i did some team replays with STCAB, opti and some other guys. Well then i suggest to play 1on1s on fistfull... After a short match against Optical, i played against STCAB.
This game was the highlight of this evening. We played an interessting US Mirror on Fist.
I started with 4 Marines + FV against STCAB just building Hospital+Barracks to get mass POW.

After some rushes I expand, because STCAB got some POWs.

Will he be able to get the advantage which those POWS or am i able to kill his Hospital.


I like to get this Replay reviewed!

I'll comment after/if it gets reveiwed

Usa vs usa on my favorite map .

was a nice game very entertaining from a observers point of view

Hey Guys
I wanna get a nice review
Give me a special present for christmas and review this rep, its really great!

I'm out of school finally I hope to review this within the coming days before Christmas.

love to see ur replay

i've school tomorrow last time this year

nice to see ya posting kings
Get on AoWHT and have some games with us all

Aight, Aight, I'll try to get on sometime this weekend

good

King, review that replay

My bad, I was going to get this on Christmas eve, but one of the programs for one of my mentors at NASA went haywire so I had to go about trying to fix it. I'm going to watch it now though.

Not bad my sons!

SCTAB
Good defense after being hit pretty hard economically at the beginning
Good decision to build a mortar even though they are the least effective building clearing unit in the game
Good javs and DF usage
Ok decision to go choppers to help give yourself some speed and mobibility
Semi effective use of the medic chopper, got it killed by the turrets

To timid at the start and not aggressive enough
Took you to long to go expansion hunting
Got your attack force banged up when you saw your chopper go down in front of them.



DaBiggy
Good choice to go with the traditional US BO
very effective first attack
Nice time point when you decided to capture more derricks
Going Nuke and Nuke defense is always a good choice when you have your opponent on the ropes
Going for the turrets was ok
Good work on taking out the multiple hospitals that kept popping up

Built to many turrets instead of pushing the pressure allowed SCTAB to step up
TO much air war and not enough ground war
Not pushing the pressure by building more nukes after immediately launching one



Overall this game was pretty nice. I'm glad I got to sit back and enjoy watching it versus having ot blow through it. All I can say is you guys are pretty good. I gotta step my game up to get on that level. One thing I do have comments about is why you both made your marines force fire on a building? Does that make their grenades be the first things out next time they shoot? I would have preferred to see some more aggression from DaBiggy when he had SCAB on his toes. By keeping the pressure up it would've let you know exactly what SCAB was doing and keep him from wanting to form an attack instead of turtling up and defending. I also felt that DaBiggy turtled after he had SCTAB on the ropes. Anyhow I give this rep an 8, gg and good replay.

It was de facto gg after he got my first prison. After that I was just trying to survive and see what happened...
Cause in 1/3 of such games maybe, I can sometimes pull of a win anyway.

Didin't happen here though

Too many turrets and planes. Made it hard to gain or keep any sort of foothold.

EDIT: I was like and maybe a bit after my prison went to those KEM launchers.

haha, i love those KEMS
they're just great.

and King, ur right, fire your Marines first at your own building. After 3 shots, u can fire immediately grenades. I play often this way, if i know, that my enemy plays us, because those grenades kill a FV faster than JV do, and u have the possibility to kill thos JV because your Marines fire faster than those JV!

But, you need a bit more Micro to use it, its also effective in Bank fights, try it out

btw rotw?
i need some new medals P:

anyway, u will get some new replays this week i hope, im going to play some matches against Tidus ( [TG]T1dus07 ). Maybe it will get owned hard, or im able to survive, well lets see, u'll get those replays, i promise.

THX for the Review Kings!

edit:
omg, its replay of the week, before i've posted
ha ^^

Hahha see, I've been doing so much stuff with this site I haven't really had a chance to enjoy my Christmas presents. Off to review another replay then enjoy my presents.

Hehe, those KEM's took out the hospital in 2 seconds.

A bit campy and loads of bombers and a couple of nukes. Who can resist nukes eh? ;-)
