Lovely flame tank usage on his expansion supply + WF
Running off four supplies gave you a gigantic advantage
Generally good use of Lotus
Cons:
Supply placement wasn't as good as it should have been
A lot of the time the "TNT" function on your Tank Hunters was ignored
Overall: Quite good tank play on the whole I'd say. It was certainly crucial that you grabbed the center so effectively, as anyone who harvests off the center supplies has the economic advantage. I might suggest that your first units out of your WFs are a LO and a Dragon tank, as this will help you grab the middle even faster if your opponent has garrisoned it. This is part of the reason why you had some problems securing it in the early game. I was very glad to see that you had a very nice flanking flame tank - brining it down while your opponent was distracted in the center. Please place your supply depot further away from your supplies. Ultimately this didn't matter as you had such a powerful econ later on, but in the early game your opponent was harvesting slightly more money than you. One small micro issue, make sure to always evacuate your LO before it's destroyed - otherwise your TH pop out dazed, confused, and much easier to kill.
Very nice tank play with only a few minor micro mistakes - Player rating: 7

Pros:
Nice early pressure on the center
Some good ECM micro midway through
Good early tech up
Cons:
Needed more flanking attacks later on
Needed more LOs produced
Let the center be taken back
Overall: Your micro in the early game was very precise and elegant. It seemed that you had taken the center in the first few minutes of the game but then there was a lag in unit production which cost you for much of the match. I would suggest that the early game be focused less on BM production and more on LO/gatt production. Remember, LOs pretty much own tanks until they get ECMs. Quite a lot of the problems you had stemmed from the fact that his THs destroyed a number of your 2 chev BMs. I liked your flanking attacks early game, it was just unfortunate that he happened to have some units positioned there to intercept them. However through much of the mid/late game his unit production was focused on the middle which could have given you an opportunity to flank a small attack group.
Very nice micro with some unit production problems - Player rating: 6
Summary: This was a match played by two competent Tank players. Both had some very nice unit mixing and decision making. OrBiT made a very nice small comeback in regaining the center. On the whole I would have liked to see more flaking attacks. A flanking attack doesn't have to be just a single flamer, but they're made even more effective when used with combinations of units (such as an LO/dragon). A relatively entertaining game, although you could tell which way the momentum was going once the center was captured.
Game rating: 6.5
Hope this review has been enlightening and informative

Over threw the middle early game , nice move cause this obvously helped your main attacks later.
Demonstrated how to take advantage of the Duel Supply Duel War Fac BO when it comes to force mixing.
Good Macro , never floated but always had money for what you needed.
Prop up at a decent time , building it later acully gave you force advantage , as your opponenet was building ecms while you were building bms gats and TH's.
Dealt with early pressure very well nice job .
Always had the pressure on your opponenet late game, never let him build up a decent force until the final show down .
Took middle supplies , always needed as in any Mirror game it ends up coming down to ho has more skill or at least more money
Nice flanking flamer , killed his secondary supply and war fac.
One nice time of good BM and GAT micro , always pulled gats way when bms came and bms forward when TH's came.
Cons
Lost first units in the middle fight , could of just backed away and came back until u had a flamer.
Lost alot of small fight from lack of micro.
Mainly just built units to be throwen at the enemy , no micro used really.
Got the tank drop ability , which was very pointless , as you droped 1 tank right next to a TH
OverAll Player Rating : 8, because of your agresivness late game , always had the pressure on your oponenet and had the game facing towards you the whole time, Although your micro wasent really good but in tank mirrors its mainly bigs battles in the middle , but you still need to micro your units better but you played very well , so WP and cool game, Well Done.

Pros
Fought for middle early game and won.
Good macro aswell , didnt float except for the start ..floated about 2500
Very nice ecm micro
Took your oil later game , would of helped abit but didnt compare to your opponenet having 2 extra supplies.
Prop up early , good move as the ecms you built really helped alot.
Had early pressure on opponenent.
Got Auto-Loaders pretty fast, helped you counter his BMs which didnt have them yet.
Cons
Lost early lead and pressure on your opponenet due to not producing units .
Lost middle because you did not back up the forces nearly enough due to not producing units again.
Floated around about 2000-2500 early game after you had started to build your prop, very bad because you needed to be producing as many units as possible as fast as possible.
Lost supply and war fac to a flanking flamer, this probelly effected you abit ...producing from 1 war fac and off of 1 supply
Didnt get lotus up till very late game, if you had brough her out earlier you could of got her into your opponenets base VERY easilly and stole his prop centre or even his cc ect.
Stopped your agresive behaviour later game , this probelly made the game easier for your opponenet to win
OverAll Player Rating : 7.5 , great ecm micro and pretty good macro besides one point made this score up, if you had mabey done some flanking flamers then you would of made your opponent go into a more defensive role and making him pay less attention to certain areas of the map, you could of all so tryed a more hit and run style of play on the middle to try and knock ouot his supplies there which deffenitly was the game desider but all in all nice play from you and cool game, Well Done.
Plz review
