I never get the 1st comment.
#2 Willzzz (dns1.rhbnc.ac.uk)[15884]
umm the entire report seems to be repeated at least once...
#3 T_Mac (ts7-56t-43.idirect.com)[15887]
There seems to be a little mistake there
#4 Johnn_Vegas[15895]
I fixed it
#5 }{ello_Nasty (216.13.80.2)[15896]
Could you stop repeating the same things over and over again? And also make a better ending.
#6 T_Mac (on-tor-blr-a58-01-603.idirect.com)[15898]
You work too much on this site jv :)

A 6.5? Doesn't that seem a little harsh guys? I thought it was well-written, who needs pics? Yes, it could use a little shine and polishing, but jeez, it was a good report =)

I give it an 8. Go upgrades!

Terran getting too "Cute" on islands. Vulture drops do relatively nothing when compared to a marine/medic drop, tank drop, or wraith rush. The only time that a vulture drop would even have any chance of doing anything really positive in a game is against a 4 zealot drop.
#9 (control.ahnet.net)[15931]
I like the vulture drop! It's a nice probe killing strat. The vultures unload fast, and do a lot of damage. Plus if you get mines you can annoy the hell out of the enemy. But your probably right its definitely not a DEADLY drop..

Good report Terran winning on islands is uncommon. I always thought the carrier counter was ghosts with lockdown, not goliaths. My goliaths seem to always go down quickly to carriers. As I read in an earlier report today, EMP will cut the number of disruption webs by a lot (at least once, until he realizes not to huddle his corsairs).
#11 shockwave (exchange1.sensable.com)[15951]
I'm surprised he used valkyries. They do a real pittance against the carrier hulls and if were using them to strip shields, EMP might have been a better option. SVs also give you defense matrix, of course.

Yeah, I wonder about the 4-vulture drop. Usually I'll get a cannon up in my mineral line and a couple of dragoons to handle wraith rushes. The cannon takes care of the vutlures and their mines. I would have dropped the vultures near the edge of his base, planted some mines, and then either lured forces back to the mines or set up siege tanks/bunker/turret there later. Landing early against a Toss on islands is often a game-winner for me.

As all battles should be... fight 'til the end. None of this "I won the first battle so surrender and let me win the war".
#13 Macdonough (dial209-21.star-telegram.com)[15963]
Maybe u'd get a higher rating if you didn't proclaim your spelling mistakes: "<font color="red">Dire Straights<font>."
It should be "...Straits."
Other than that though, it was a pretty nice report.

#14 Macdonough (dial209-21.star-telegram.com)[15964]
"/font"
heh
#15 Laean (dtkim.reshall.ucsd.edu)[15977]
I think this report deserved more than a 6.7
#16 Celedor (202.164.152.14)[16057]
Hmmm.. I used Valkyries because of my somewhat huge stockpile of resources at the time. Valkyries have a short build time and I wanted to spend as much as possible. They also put up more of a fight against the corsairs. :)

Heehee.. It was originally 'Straits', then I decided against it and turned it to 'Straights', guess I was wrong. Thanks for the comments, ppl!
