Map: New Gettysburg
5-Player FFA
So, here's the deal: I'm in the bottom right. Istart off all nice like; training my SCVs, gettingmarines and bunkers...ya know, nice. So anyway, Ihave about 12 marines in 3 bunkers (2 at onebridge, 1 near Command Center) when I hear, "AAAAAAA! Marine Rush!" was eleminated. I get a few vultures and start snooping around the map. I find an orange supply depot and an SCV. I assume this was the beginings of an expansion, so I kill it. While I was doing that, I hear, "Awww, crap." and "That's a lot of marines" was eliminated. So, I was pretty scared now, since either 2 people had rushed, or one person had rushed twice which had me really scared since that is rather challenging on a large map. Soon after, I get a reaver drop behind my minerals. Luckily, I had put a few spider mines there as a precaution so they only killed 3 SCVs. Then, when I have 36 marines(1/0/range), one tank(0/0), and 3 vultures(0/0/mines) when about 75 orange marines show up at my door (now I was pretty sure that this was the guys that killed green and yellow). I checked their levels and saw they were 1/1 and probably had range and stim pack also. My defences were swept aside and I said, "Good Lord!" Red(Terran) and White(Protoss) were now pretty worried that one guy could take out 3 consecutive people so they asked me where he was. I told them what I knew of player positions and they planned an attack. Unfortuneatly, my forces = 1 vulture, 1 Command Center. My floating Command Center had to do some creative flying to escape the marines that were hanging about the map and I eventually landed down on a high elevation expansion spot and started to mine. Just my luck, that was right next to Orange's town!! AIE! He found me pretty quick and I managed to get 1 SCV, and my Command Center out again. I flew my Command Center to an expansion near orange but sorta in mid-left of the map. Then Red and White crushed Orange between them. I build another Command Center and I lift it off and move it along the left side of the map all the way down to the bottom left corner. I start to build barracks in both spots and I have about 10 marines in my little rusty pit area (mid left) when white finds me with archrons and zealots. No one survived except my original Command Center. I flew it again down to my original town (for some reason no one ever expects that) and started to build again! Whoopee! Ok, Intermission :
Current Game Info:
Players in Game: Red(Terran) White(Protoss) and Me(Terran)
My Forces: 2 Towns, medium size, about to get wraiths in tech tree.
Their Forces: Unknown(yikes!)
Meaning of Life: 42
Intermission Over!
Now I start building wraiths and more marines, always more marines. I start scanning around and I find that ... White has an expansion spot right next to me! AIE! So, My spectacular cunning told me to attack it. I harrassed it with yamato and emp from my solitary Battlecruiser and Science Vessel. He did a preliminary attack on my base also and I knew it was gone, I lifted off everything I could and evacuated. Then Red and White took out eachother's main towns. Apparently, their armies passed eachother. I helped red attack white by killing an Assimilator (oh yea baby, bow down) So now Red is isolated on an island with no way out and I am also on an island but I have 2 transports (whoopee!) I make a last stand against white and kill many of his people. I would have died a lot earlier without my precious lift-off button! Well, ta-ta,
