Matiz, Bears and Terror Drones are not the counters to Tanya! By the time you started using the right units (Twinblades and Sickles) you had lost all your momentum. Also don't forget to expand to the water nodes!
I lol'ed at the oil trading at the beginning, and Chronorifting 5 Apocs to stall while a Tanya trains and then kills them all when they phase back in was epic. Wubbed for all around enjoyment, but Matiz really fucked up the end.
Loads of costly mistakes in this like losing Natasha to mirages before she can snipe Tanya, too slow at making Twinblades etc. I actually had to stop watching about 60% through because the wave after wave of Apocs without anti inf was painful to watch.
Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

You could have done much more damage if you would have split your Apoc Tanks into two groups and attack from the north and south enterances, making it more difficult for Tanya to be in two places at once. Also I never seen you use your Desolator Airstrike.
Up till both players hit T3 this was actually a great replay. Matiz did what most soviet players often forget to do by always having a TD on the opposite side of his main force which caught a few unlucky engy IFV's. wubed for sure.
