______This was the 2nd game i had played with Atomic_tomato, so i felt it was okay to skip the introductions. "Rush" I declared confidently.

_ Now for everyone out their thinking Rushing is what WarCraft 3 is about... your dead right. However, its much more complicated. The key is to know when to rush, and how to defend if your not going to. I choose to rush this game because i simply thought that both orcs would try to tech fast to shaman. I was wrong.

My allie and I quickly got are alters up, and began to summon our heroes. Atomic_tomato when with the Potm and I went with the Demon hunter.

Now, when rushing their are a couple of dues and don'ts. So while normally me and my allie would of went straight to the creeps, instead we had them wait in our respected bases... as our rushing forces began production.

__________________________________________________________

On the other side of town, specifically right above us, our opponents did something I didn't expect. They Began to mass Grunts and Head Hunters. They were clearly planning to rush but they made a key mistake... they broke the number 1 rushing rule. They began to creep.

As they continued to creep and build grunts, me and my ally were busily massing archers and hunts. When the call to arms came, our heroes looked around excitedly and were eager to follow our command... a little to eager.
As I began to move my troops into my allies base to mass forces, he moved out. He assured me he would wait before we attacked, but alas it was not so. As he left his base and headed north he encounted just a few nasty little green grunts...

Not only did my ally find himself fighting melee attackers with anti-air archers, but he also found himself fighting uphill battle, literally.

So while numbers might have found themselves on his side, nothing else was, so i quickly told him to "RUN!!"

To my relief he listened and backed off. As he reached his moon wells and healed, my huntresses caught up and joined him. So with 10 Hunts and 11 archers are "mighty" army headed up north to base 3.

Upon reaching Idie4fun's base, we encountered little resistance. It appeared that the enemy had been unsuccessful in producing shaman in time. With that said we began to focus fire on the structures. Only a few seconds passed before both their heroes charged in from their north most base. We quickly turned fire and dispatched of them. With the enemy out of the way once again we focused on the enemies structures, and in no time flattened it.

By this time we had each amassed about 3 dryads and had sent them on their way to join our forces. With the knowledge that their shamans had no use, we headed up north to finish what we had started so long ago.

started so long ago.

**Note: At the end of the game no-one had acquired any expansions, a mistake that might have cost the enemy.

Both of these were taken at the same time, the very end game. The first thing you might notice is that my allies hero (diana) is two higher levels than me. The reason for this is because I had to keep running away with my DH to heal. While DH our very good beginning hero I would STRONGLY advise acquiring another hero midway through the game (or once you hero has reached around lvl 4.)

The reason i choose this report was because i find that their is a very clear definition of what must be done when facing orc only opponents. It is crucial to stop them from teching. Therefore i advise you ALWAYS rush, and if like in this game it fails, keep up the pressure. The worst possible scenario is fighting an orc with 3 tuaren chieftain a couple of doctors and a Sh*t load os shaman!
