YumYum is actually GFHKnightLite! And I was playing on a crappy laptop at low res with no mouse in hotel room! Are those enough excuses?! GFHKnightLite

Matchup: Gondor vs Isen Map: Westfold Duration: 45 minutes
Pelanoir BO: Farm,BS>stable>bs>well>2 blacksmiths>archery ranger>outposts Strat: Horses and some creeping>the brothers>archers>combos>gandalf PP: Ew>heal>gtw>rohirrim>elves>eagles>aod
Pros:
Hobb harassmit on mills Never lost any heros Surviving with half your walls
Cons:
no harassment of his mills lost a group of horses to a keep you got outcreeped but not badly
Comments: This map is better for isen than for you and started you out with a disadvantage. You got some horses out and started creeping and did ok with that but then his attack hit and it crippled you. I was about to give up on you but gaydalf comes out From there you had good harassment of his outposts but did get alot of your walls destroyed by bombs but he was stuck fighting you on your ew and you held him off. Good hero micro and strat. Rating: 5
YumYumManFlesh BO: 2 furn>pit>furns>siegeworks>expansion to outposts with armory and wargs Strat: Did a fast siege rush and took down a bit of his base>sneak bombs attack>attacks in waves PP:Warchant>industry>palantir>rain
Pros:
Creeping Pretty good execution of fast siege rush harassment (you had him pinned down almost all game)
Cons:
Industry was floating around for a while Ram micro during that rush wasn't that good. The third one just sat there. Don't have the rams all attack the same spot. Cash floating This might have lost you the game: letting him fight on ew. I was yelling at the monitor to get tainted land.
Rating: 4
Comments: You had a great start thx in part to the map being tilted to the advantage of fod armies. You took out a couple of farms and was doing well with the siege rush that crippeled him. He got a bit lucky in getting gtw out. You seemed to have trouble killing those combos along with gandalf. 2 things might have changed that. 1. Would be building up a larger army instead of feeding him pps with small waves. 2. Would be cancleing his ew. OTher than that i have no idea what else would have helped.
Summary: This was a very entertaining game with pretty constant action (i only used fast foreward twice). There was good micro with the only hero being lost was lurtz. Isengard started off the action quickly was a siege rush and gondor countered with horses and archers. Back and forth action with no clear winner until the end.
Yes, thanks, Guardian for your time. Makes me wonder if I should post a game that I think I played well in?!? Oh, and the reason I didn't go TL was that after the EW was laided, if I don't have 3 pp right then, then I know his EW will recharge before I can lay TL. Then he cancels it and I've lost 3 pp. So, yell away! (edit: I rewatched rep--great advice, i did get 3 pp during the ram rush, but frankly, i thought it was GG at that point! Also, I like to bring 3 ram to gate--yes, one sits idle, but after the 2.5 hits on the gate, all 3 rush in with rest of force a start dealing damage, usually one along one side and 2 the other. I will use 3rd on tower if one is up--he didn't though.) GFHKnightLite (sometimes YumYum....)
