Map: Crater Islands (CC map) Players: Egg, Herby,poosticks A 3 way ffa on Herb's favorate map :) Commy featured infighting between Egg and myself gave Herb a grand margin for economy growth and besides not scouting for his finished BB early enough (my MT's he DID see would have vetted it up nicely - though its lack of static frontal defense may have ben an issue here) Herb can't be faulted too critically. The real game however was between Egg and myself. Last time I played this map, I went sea and was a little upset by an early air raid :( So I tried Vech first to secure the island. Unfortunately, a lack of early rescources because I didn't contest the sea was my undoing. The fun really started when Egg, 'oblivious' of the start positions stumbled upon my guardian in progress at the bottom of my island. Of course (and much to my horror =P) he proceeded to d-gun both it, and my two poor con units working on it :O Well luckily I have almost finished my sub >:-) Well It did a fair bit of damage, but unfortunately got killed when I wasnt looking :( (and I never found his commy, grrr - hehe). Well seeing as he was a little preoccupied down the bottom, I decided a 'presence' on his island was fair trade. However, several 'incidents' later, I was up against the wall so to speak =\ I could see that his commy was reclaiming his island. It was either pass by his shipyards or commy to reach some sort of safety. A quick Ctrl+o Ctrl+e showed me where his commy wasn't and lo and behold who should I stumble across when I crossed the hill, my old mate Eggy building an airplant =D Of course when yer desperate, its expected you act desperate, so of course I did (hehehe). The thing was though, was that I had a plan, sure it was a crackpot one, but one none-the-less. At the first sight of Egg, I ran up to him and simply sat there, "Kill me :)" was my cry, and "nooooooooooooo" was his reply (heh heh heh). "Then hold fire!" - well I don't think he ever did that, but a little comm hustling (and my Ctrl+w onto his comm at first site) bought valiable time! In fact just enough =D In the mean time I noticed (in the recording) Herb finally targetting Egg with his (very inaccurate) BB. Well you already know the end, but I'll sure say it was one of the most full-on games I've had for a while. Thanks guys ;) Cheers, poosticks :) E-mail: poosticks@paradise.net.nz Web: www.poosticks.net
