Guys guys guys… 70 of any unit? Thats insane. Why that many? Most of them will die with out destroying a single unit.
A smaller, mixed force will beat out mass numbers of anything when properly controled. It’s cheaper, faster and potentialy more lethal. Never doubt the power of ‘magic’ units. A small package of dark templar, scouts, two reavers and an arbitar can quickly sneak into an enemy base gut it and fade away before any large force can be rerouted to defend. With quick attacks like this, you force the enemy into a defenseive posture while you have money to expand and surround the enemy. Once you have them surrounded, you can afford to use massive armys. Its all ways about money in the end. The player who can do more with less usally wins.
Andy’s right. 70 is insane, especially since going up ramps, you can only have about 5 at a time, with my siege tanks pelting at your rear ranks. With height advantage, no one is getting inside my terran base. On the groud, anyway. I’m still working out the kinks in my air defense. Either way, usually I’m able to take out the enemy before any real air threat comes.
Ok, the tourney has been put on hold today. I ate some Burger King, and i got some food poisoning ($@#$@#$@#$@# chicken sanwich), so i’m not the mood at all to think/set up anything. Maybe tomorrow or the day after.
Sorry for all the people that it disappointed, but it will be rescheduled!!
I’m a very novice player as my uncle owns the game and I do not. But I say Protoss as I have somehow managed to construct like 36 carriers and 21 corsairs (upgraded them…didn’t completely finish the tree but they’re still lethal) and then sent them right smack in a rush smashing a couple poor fools who had no air defence (I guess cause someone else was attacking virtually everyone but me)…a little costly if they have it. But you just keep cranking those babies out…in fact my forces actually grew to 40 carriers and 24 corsairs in the end. I discovered I was on the far corner from them…my axis of attack head straight for them so basically elminated those who were nearby for security (they were very weak…I had pity and rmoved the least fittest from the board) and the rest teamed up lunged for the bully…we all did. It was a very nasty fight in the end…a couple sacrifices (sucide) missions with damage ships just to draw their fire (they slowly slugged it out and a wiped out a few bases). Terrans have a better balance and allows for better combined operations…send in the marines backed up by siege tanks and battlecruisers…but that’s easily smashed by the 36 carriers and 21 corsairs…and that’s not counting what’s on the ground for mopping up…if there’s anything left from the intial counterattack. Whoever was on the far side learned that the hard way.

Only problem with Corsairs is their extra long range vision. If you’re not paying close attention to them, they sprint off after the nearest enemy, and they don’t exactly have the strongest conventional weapons.

A good player always keeps track of their bases, units/structures, and resources. If you fail any of these, then I feel sorry if you try to enter a tourney. If you watch the replays of the matches, you’ll notice that they do these 3 things (and maybe more…)
I have 8:00 pm on Friday night? No school saturday. (i know robotics, but we all do it tired, so what’s the difference? )
I have work on Thursday, so I won’t be able to play if it is on that day. It seems like that Friday is also a good day, but my Sunday is also open. Anyone else game for that date–or throw in your own date…

Ok, I’m sorta lost…what’s goin on…I get the chat, but is it a SC tourney like thing? “but we all do it tired, so what’s the difference?” - that is so true ;). I’m game (hopefully)
my fav race is zerg… it’s the only race that i can win with lol. the strongest race in my opinion would have to be protoss but if eel that terran is good onlee with an experienced player that knows how to use terran and isn’t cheap. anyways yeah that’s how i feel. anyone wanna play?
mark u can play online now? ‘n’ u dint tell me? cries i feel so hurt. hehehehe.
Is cheap rushing them with marines (100), siege tanks (36), battlecuisers (25, some of them were damaged in various degrees), and other ground and air units of small quanties (less than 50)? The reserves were 150 marines, 36 siege tanks, 50 battlecruisers, of cousre 75 various anti-air units, and dozens of other grounf and air units lying around. Its been a while. I know, I had way to much time to build up my forces…helps when you’re playing mainly novices and the experienced players are tied up on the other side of the map.

Hmm, math skills- you’re only allowed 200 units. Most things take up more than 1 unit- e.g. battlecruisers = 6 units a piece, tans = 2 or 4, etc. etc.

what?
yeah i want in the tourney too… someone lemme know when it ish pahleaze. mai AIM name is Cherryrhaps0dy if anyone wantsa play.
True…but that’s what I had overall…math skills in counting them up to the end…forgot to remove casulties from the list. Replacements trickled forwarded…often damaged units (some beyond repair might as well get a new unit of same type). but the question is rushing the enemy with almost everything you have…is that cheap?
yea, i’m thinking about it. Mabye checkin time should be 8:45, and start playin’ at about 9:00? Should that be enought time for everyone to get dinner/any weird homework/etc… out of the way?
It will still be on Friday…So that seems resionable. Ok, let me sleep on it, and i will finalize it with in the next day.
Check in - Friday - 8:45 Playing Time - 9:00 (P.S. I would like brood war, but i will take a vote…)
If you don’t check in, you won’t have a say in if you play or not. And to fair-warn anyone Expect to be playing for a few hours (i hate it when we get a good game going, than someone lags/drops out…)
Now, this is all Eastern time (i live in michigan!) so does anyone have a problem w/ that?
)

I guess I could come late though.
