A lonely night...

What a little lonely night, all there alone... In boredom, needing something to do besides making love to Barbra Bush... BINGO! Write a battlereport! Annoy the heck out of the world! Finally I found a decent game, maybe not the best to battle report on, but I found one. And here it is...

Terror went for an 8 SCV supply depot, 10 SCV Barracks, 12 SCV Refinery, and finally 14 scout and factory. Reallydum went 8 probe pylon, 11 probe gateway, 13 probe gateway, immediatly produced zealot, and 13 probe 2nd pylon.

Terror went on to build an oddly placed supply depot in his mineral patch, as seen to the right. Terror threw up an enginering bay, while Reallydum ran his zealots down the ramp, seeming to be planning to grab his natural soon. At his 16th probe, he builds yet another gateway. Oddly enough, even though through the game Terrorific builds two enginerring bays, he doesn't upgrade his marines at all. Terrorific constructs a starport and put the control tower in. He quickly pumps out two tanks with siege, and as soon as he can get a dropship he's pulling out a tank drop on Reallydum. Just after it kills a cannon, two zealots come and finish off the two tanks.

Terrorific puts a turret up at his minerals now, and FINALLY Reallydum gets his assimilator. Terror decides it's the time to get his natural. A Cybernetics Core follows shortly thereafter, while Terror gets his 3rd factory. If Reallydum attacked right now, he could win the game. He doesn't. Reallydum grabs his natural, and warps in a robotics facility. Shuttle production begins, but Terror yet again drops, except this time he tank-cliffs the natural. With no other thing to do, Reallydum initiates a zealot attack onto Terror, and he destroys a tank and some marines. That battle was depicted in the first picture. Finally the shuttle beeps, signaling its arrival, and two dragoons are loaded up. The shuttle goes immediatly for Terrorifics main, near the economy. A few vultures come right in to meet them, and start laying down some mines. A few SCVs are destroyed, but overall the drop was of a low significance. After this, a great wait takes place --- forces begin to accumulate. Terrorific has two starports and three to four factories pumping out vultures and tanks. Reallydum simply builds up on his dragoons and zealots. Resources are running low on his side, making production difficult to meet, especially with Terror deciding to snag his mineral only while he's at it. After five minutes of boredom, the excitement begins to come back into the game. Terror has at least 15 tanks and 6 vultures moving cautiously across the side of his cliff. The vultures come to Reallydums mineral only, and lay down a few mines. Hit-and-run tactics are used, but Reallydum soon orders them to hold position, leaving one dragoon damaged. Reallydum frantically scrambles to pull his ragtag militia of zealots and dragoons down to his ramp. This amounts to three dragoons and 12 zealots, trying to go against over twenty tanks now. Before Terror moves onto Reallydum's natural, he sneaks six probes and a few dragoons up to the 3:00 position, while at the same time putting a probe in a dropship and moving him to the southeast island, warping in a nexus at both locations. The tanks and vultures close in onto his main, destroying a lone pylon standing out there. They quickly pack up, and move on. A citadel of Adun, his small militia of zealots and dragoons, and another pylon try to block the passageway. However, they were no match for 20 tanks. Terror sends a marine up to the 3:00 expo to scout, and fines the expo. A detachment of 10 tanks comes up to the 3:00 expo, razing the base. A little race cleansing occurs, and Terror claims victory with Reallydum leaving the game!
