CNC Zero Hour

Replay Review by Herb


Skill rating: 7.5/10. A game between two very aggressive players! Although of course not a top level game as there were some noticeable decision making mistakes, the skill here was very good, so I will rate this game as 'low pro'. WP to both players.

Entertainment rating: 8.5/10. I found this very entertaining, the USA was pressuring a lot and tank was staying in there with base building and it produced a very close game indeed. Nice game.

A very good start. I think your build worked nicely and you made a good anticipation of what he would do and covered most possible builds from him including a patriot / laser tank drop. However I think vs an all in no eco, your build order would fail tremendously, which is why I'll go on to say the meta for this map is dual WF and fast prop.

Good use of the time that he spent bunking his sides and getting a vee army to put bunkers on the sides and tech up, however you were quite careless with your first couple of gatts which should have only been used to scout and then move back to gather a bigger army.

It was quite obvious he was going to push up the middle with vees / laser tanks so you should have had a bigger army ready at the front to micro and try and delay until you had ecms

Infact, I would say it may even be a better move to go black napalm migs while defending as he was and most likely would mix in laser tanks too

What I REALLY liked this game was your base building! Epic! As soon as one WF went down, you placed the next one immediately in a good position so units wouldn't get stuck, as well as had teched up. Very WP there.

That trap of the vees down the bottom was very nice, then the game went 50-50 from there. Great gatt / ecm micro and trapping in general, btw.

It was unfortunate that he went to do a base trade in the end, as he already had done big damage. If you had have defended a bit more I think the game would have been yours.

Anyway WP and post more replays would love to review them

Firstly, I like your name! Bla bla bla best name for a vee spammer

Secondly, your build order was actually very good and could counter dual WF efficiently while still enabling you to get some vees out fast. I might try it myself actually ;o

Good decision to make your first push with 2 vees / ambulance so fast, as tank had a lot of time to get onto 3 supplies, defend a bit and start to tech up. You put on the pressure when needed and were able to put tank on the back foot at the right moment, or the game would heavily be in his favour.

I really liked your constant aggression and use of money behind it. Your speed is quite impressive tbh.

You did exactly what you should do with vees, run them everywhere lol. You got a bit unlucky though down the bottom, so I would suggest you take a bigger priority to micro your army than produce units at WF / rax, as I saw this was taking some of your micro time up.

Another option you had after your initial onslaught with 2 vees, was to get your oil and spam some laser tanks. Tank was in a really bad place at one point, only on 1 supply so this would have been the safer option than vee spam imo.

Close game, and very WP. Feel free to post some replays and I'll review
