A great fun automatch i had against Ork about 5 minutes ago, i'd watched Marty Vs General Chaos's match up earlier on and i was looking forward to the match up.
I had great fun playing it though, it was a wp match tbh although i think i should of gone Termies instead of Assault termies now but yeah.
Enjoy.

Description:
Orkz shooting big guns, marines trying to shoot big guns.

Overview:
A well played game between PraxisScream's Space Marines and SpecializedPL's Orks. Praxis starts his build with a servitor and 3x SM scout squads while Specialized goes with 2x Slugga boys squads and a gretchin squad. All the lp's on each side of the map are quickly captured as the two forces meet. The orks quickly gain the upper hand with a number of shoota boys until Praxis brings in his grey knights that turn the tide of the battle. Praxis goes on a massive counter attack with many marines and grey knights that are quickly whittled down and forced to retreat by a handful of ork towers and and 3x wartraks. Now Specialized goes on his own counter attack and cripple's Praxis's economy to the point that the game is over, and every last marine is butchered alive by the orks.

PraxisScream ( Space Marines )
Good start but also risky. You built listening posts on every single lp before you started looking at military. This was risky because it was already visible that his military was much stronger then yours and if he attacked you would of lost a lot of the lp's that you built and perhaps the game. Other wise you had good micro and control over your units that decreased the amount of excess casualties that you took. Good thinking when you captured all crit locations on the map although you could of tried more to keep them under your control.

Tips For Improvement:
-try and balance your military and eco in the early game, this is the key to success.
-use cover effectively, you had a large scale battle once and if you moved back 2 meters you would of been in cover and would of taken a lot less casualties.

Good job on:
-attacking down the flank now and then, rather then playing a defensive game, this kept your enemy at bay
-controlling the middle ( contested point ) for the majority of the game
-throwing in landspeeder to take the bullets for your army, though it got killed you lost less marines

SpecializedPL ( orks )
Also well played, you kept attacking and retreating until you found a weak spot then went in for the kill. The entire game you were playing with a small military advantage that could and would determine the game, you attacked full out at the end which won you the game but if you attack earlier you probably could of won. Good balance with your military, having slugga boys with big mek go into close combat while having shoota boys shooting is hard to defeat, especially with the small number of marines.

Tips for Improvement
-don't give up the middle so easily, it can determine the game sometimes
-after taking a chunk of the map try and lp it so you get a defense, with out that you get pushed back to you defensive lines.

Good job on:
-using cover very efficiently in big battles
-build a wall of towers around your defensive positions
-using wartruks to throw apart the marine army

Conclusion
This game shows that it isn't impossible to retake the map after SM have a firm grip on it.
