INTRODUCTION:
This battle took place a couple of hours ago against a friend over the modem. I was gonna put up pics but I don't know how! How do I change it to JPEG and compress them? I took 10 screenshots of the battle but I really have no idea how to put them up here =) Well, enough ranting, let's get it on!
P.S. This is only my second battle report so sorry if it's not that great (I was trying to put up images! help!!)
MAP: LOST TEMPLE
FORCES & LOCATIONS:
Terran Expeditionary Force - NOOGIE, 6:00
Khalai descendants - Y2J, 12:00
BATTLE SUMMARY :
================
The game started with me building up to 7 SCVs then using the 8th one to build a supply depot. As soon as the 9th one came out, I started building a barracks and to build another SCV. After finishing the supply depot, I send that SCV to scout. I scout at 9:00 and find nothing there, then at 12:00 where I fight with one of Y2J's Probes. I manage to kill it before he gang-attacked my SCV.
In my base, I built another barracks and an academy. I had about 3-4 marines at this time and was also starting up a refinery. I had like 0 minerals most of the time =)
When the academy was up, I built a Comsat at my Command Centre and built 1 medic and 2 more marines. I just kept on pumping out marines, medics and SCVs. By the time I was building my Factory, I had enough marines and medics to serve as a decent attack force so I grouped the marines (who had stim upgraded already) and the marines in another group. I sent them marching to his base...
... when I met up with his force of 10 or more zealots!! He was also gonna attack! The fighting was fierce but in the end I lost only 2 marines out of 12 (They were stimmed). Amazing what medics can do huh?
I march it to his base but I encountered heavy resistance in the form of 8 or more Photon cannons which encircled his ramp. I destroy 3 of them before being taken out by the rest.
Back in base, I have built a sufficient amt. of marines and medics and have upgraded range, built a workshop add-on for the factory and was building a tank. Engineering Bay!! I forgot to build it!!
I immidiately build one while I was building my second factory.
It was kinda quiet and I was building up my forces (which now consisted of 5 tanks, 2 dozen marines and about a dozen medics, building a starport.. when..)
An attack!! Dragoons were creeping up my ramp! I send my marines and medics to deal with the half-dozen or so dragoons and I lost nothing but the attack was then followed up by a dozen or so zealots which killed a couple of my ground troops, then was followed by DARK TEMPLARS!! Oh no! Good thing I had a 1 turret near my sieged mode tanks. My marines and medics scrammed back to where they came as one by one they were sliced by the unholy blades of the Dark Templars. There was 3 or 4 I think but they either retreated or were destroyed by my siege tanks but I lost 2 medics and 3 marines in the process.
I send an SCV escorted by 4 siege tanks and a dozen marines and medics to the expansion patch outside my base. I hastily build 2 turrets just in case, a bunker and then proceed to building a command center.
Back at my base, I was building up an armory and another starport. I had 3 starports now and I was also building a science facility.
In my expansion, I start building more and more SCVs to mine minerals and gas.
He attacked again about 3-5 minutes later w/ Zealots, SCOUTS (what the hell? I haven't seen these used for a long time!=) and corsairs.
I easily dspatch of the ground troops but had more trouble with those pesky scouts. I lost one tank before I was able to destroy them (there were 3, 1 fled)
It's time I expand again since I see the sgnal "Vespene Geyser depleted" I also had 3 BCs now, waiting patiently at my base. Just up my expansion I see another mineral patch and I send an SCV to build a turret there with some of my tanks moving forward, taking up positions escorted by marines. I also send my BCs up there.
I build a command center and get my third mineral expansion going, but I realizd that the xpansion had no geyser!! Crap!
I built more cruisers with 2 SCvs constantly building supply depots to compensate for the huge capital ships.
I then got attacked, this time w/ 4 Corsairs who Dwebbed a large part of my siege tanks and marines, 6 of those pesky scouts (which is turnign out to be a pain) and 2 carriers! Grr, I was mad! He was also sending in a couple of dragoons to destroy my tanks...
Thank god for Battle cruisers!! I destroy the scouts first since they were dealing me a bunch of damage. I lost two BCs defending the base but I was victorious. I also lost 2 tanks and a whole battalion of marines when a templar started storming them.. AGGGGH! I was really mad!
I send 6 of my siege tanks up to his base and find that he still had everything choked up with cannons. Good for em and bad for him. (BTW the tanks were escorted by 6 firebats, 6 marines and 8 medics)
I start pounding on his cannons and as expected he send his ground troops to defend...
Back at base I had 7 BCs now and I was itching to attack but I thought, hmm, I should wait since 3 more were gonna come up soon. So, I waited. Meanwhile I research the Yamato gun and build goliaths, marines and tanks.
My tank force up there got slaughtered because of Dark Templars , crap! I really sometimes forget about those but no worry I say. I have destroyed a bunch of their cannons and a shield battery and now I have 10 cruisers! TIME TO ATTACK!!!
I attack his main base finding cannons sparsely spread thorught it. I destroy them first then destroy his 2 starports, his 2 gateways, forge and core. He sends in 4 scouts but they all get destroyed by the BCs. While I was destroying his main base, I didn't realize that back at my base I was also under attack by his Elite units!!
My 2nd expansion was hit hard, as he attacked with several archons, templars and zealots. My tanks were all destroyed by the zealots (the mariens got fried by the storms since I forgot to build medics) and the protoss started wasting my turrets and command center. I retreat what few remaining troops I have to my 1st expansion. He attacked that too but his force was obliterated when he tried to force his way through my supply depots that had bunkers and tanks behind them, but not before he managed to kill off my SCVs who were mining there and damage my command center. Damnit!
With the fury only Terrans could possess, I start Yamatoing his expansion beside his main base which was literally filled with photon cannons.
The rest was history....
Well not exactly. After I destroyed that expansion, I wondered why the game wasn't ending then I find one of his bases in the corner expansions! Entirely undefended except for 2 photon cannons! I laughed and blockaded him with my BCs so none of his shuttles can get out and sent in dropships full of my SCVs who weren't doing anything at my base since everything has been mined out (cept for the 2nd expansion which he destroyed) A total of 24 SCVs came and destroyed his 9 or so probes hehehe. Dunno just wanted to humiliate him. I proceeded to destroy his pylons with my probes and when that was done, I yamatoed his last Nexus.
(I actually took 2 screen shots of this, one when the yamato bolts were flying towards the nexus and one where it was exploding from all that damage hehe)
NOW, it is over. =)
