I practised with this guy alot and he clearly became one of my hardest challenges now sad.gif Fun FFG with some cool scenes, have fun watching and a review would be nice. Game was quite laggy at times which made it pretty hard to control the units dry.gif

Funny game, dunno what happened with me but halfway i lost any sense to play forth, was thinking about quitting, but didnt do it. My micro just sucked, maybe good play by spalding, but I know I can do better. Though funny game.

Spalding - USAV:
user posted image

Good:
smile.gif Killing gatling tanks @ flanks and mid.
smile.gif Sending crusaders forward at flanks. (killing migs and supply trucks)
smile.gif Rockvee drops.
smile.gif Used burton ok.
smile.gif Disabling his emperors with gen point and killing them with rockvees. wub.gif
smile.gif Base swap.

Bad:
sad.gif Avenger at the back of your army (lost some units cause of that!)
sad.gif You didnt used a strat center 'tactic' a long time, did you? tongue.gif
sad.gif Not capturing or destroying (his) oil derricks a long time.
sad.gif Didnt used the supply dock at your base a long time after he killed your other supply center.

8/10

Sapphire - China Tank:

Good:
smile.gif Gats beyond supply docks.
smile.gif Expanding in the middle.
smile.gif (BN)Migs vs rockvees.
smile.gif Capturing oil derricks.
smile.gif Base swap.

Bad:
sad.gif No early forward rax. (th's early on instead of 4th supply would have helped i think)
sad.gif Letting your migs get killed after he killed your AF.
sad.gif Disabling tanks, with all your ecms, so he could laserlock and kill your emperors easy.
sad.gif Not killing 2nd rockvee(drop) straight ahead, while you just had 2 emperors @ your wf.
sad.gif cash floating pretty much all the time.
sad.gif Not protecting your base when you just swapped from base.
sad.gif Didnt used your lotus too good, except for the oils.

6.5/10

Overal:
Great USA - Tank game! Nice action, drops and base swap! Sapphire had the map control and lots of money tanks and migs, but spalding turned it all the way around with his nice drops. Didnt get to see the end, cause of SE 2 times, but it was allmost over, GG.

8/10

(First review and sorry for my bad English.)

That was a VERY VERY good game, clearly Elite and a ROTW contender for this week banana.gif

There were mistakes, the main ones being poor MiG micro (why lose 4 MiGs trying to kill the crusader tongue.gif and when Sapphire lost the AF he didn't keep his MiGs flying which would have meant he didn't lose them when he built another AF).

Spalding played fantastically, constant MDV drops, lots of flanking, I didn't notice the 'poor' micro you are talking about tongue.gif. Sapphire did some really good moves, especially boxing your 3 chev hummer in with two Emperors (maybe more luck than judement but it worked great biggrin.gif).

Sapphire was floating a lot of cash at one point, but he used it to rebuild, perhaps if he spent it earlier he would have have a larger army which could have overpowered SPalding. However, Spalding was EVERYWHERE, building buildings all over the place banana.gif.

I didn't see any Lotus action, she's VERY useful for disabling MDVs and for just general annoyance - Sapphire had the cash.

The piece-de-la-resistance was the leaflet drop banana.gif, hardly ever used, but used to DEADLY effect here. This is a replay everyone should watch, it's not Legendary as Sapphire made too many mistakes (with MiGs especially) but Spaldings level of play was stunning.

8/10

Not many games get an 8/10 from me!
