Lifetime Rating for Mantra!!: 6.0000 |  | Okay, lets see how my memory holds out here...
I'll try to include more details then cakemix did, (thanks for the try though cake :) )
Mantra: Red Terran
HolyAnarchy: Blue zerg
Map: Thin Ice (192 x 128)
Well, i had just whooped up on anarchy on some small map with a guardian rush and he asked for a rematch. Cake had observed the first game and did this game too.
We both went random, and I ended up terran, he ended up zerg. I decided to 2 hall, so I made 10 scvs and expanded to a spot northest of my bottom left starting spot. I created one barracks at each town and a bunker. (I also got early gas going.) I got my bunkers full, got a factory, and then made 2 starports. His ol had found me, and he sent 10 lings to my town. they killed an scv or 2 ( i didnt notice them right away :( )
I had both expansions going, and had turrets up. I made about 5 wraiths when he attacked with 6 mutas. I fended that off easy enough. I got a sci facility, got irridate, and starting pumping out sci vessels. I also expanded again to the upper left. Along with Sci vessels, i got half a dozen valks. At this point, i found his expansion, which was just above my town (odd spot :) ). As i went to kill it, he attacked my first expansion with guardians/devourers/hydras. I had 5 sci vessels, and with irridate and my valks and wraiths, i fended the attack off, then killed his expansion with a couple tanks/4marines. I took another expansion at this point, southeast of my top left one.
I also, (cant remember when, a little before his attack) nuked some hydras outside his base, with the plan to continue nuking. He caught on quick, and put lurkers and ol's at his entrance.
At this point i put up 2 armorys and got a physics lab, and pumped out bc's. When i had 6, i came at his main with those, plus 5 sci vessels and 5 valks. He had just sent hydras to one of my expansion, ( ihad 5 at this point) and he had poor defence at this base. I annihilated it :) and killed his offending hydras. He said gg at this point.
(Sorry i dont have screen shots, didnt think to take them)
BTW, i can't say i recommend ever palying this map; its like a maze, very hard to get around in. I was almost forced to go air since land was so ineffective.
