For those who wonder why there is no KOTH game 9 its because PLayer69 didint show up. I decided to play Ithildur today instead of tomorrow because im going out.
FFS. I was totally unprepared. This replay makes me look like a complete noob
And then I just almost beat Jozha right after
Oh well, GG. Better luck for me next time. Allies is just my weakest match up Empire and Soviets are much easier for me. It's mainly IFVs and Guardians. IFVs are just so versatile
You're lucky I decided to play today or tomorrow you might have had to forfeit
I guess what really killed me this game was the lack of x4 laming

stupid double post lag. Wtf now my other comment is gone? Omg... there goes me detailing a BO to beat this, ah well the general point was you couldve won just garrison your huts faster, cap the oils and dont make so many tengus.

Nah but seriously Ithildur you could've had that, build a power then 3 raxes, 2 go to the oil and the 1 protects while the other builds an engi and caps it, then the other undeployed goes to the other oil and caps it. Meanwhile with the third rax you deploy in your base, send out a burst drone to scout then put 2 tankbusters and an IW in each hut to protect your harvs, and you build your wf and make 3 tengus MAX, after that you have to tech up fast and get some tanks out there. End result: His rush fails, and you get an economic advantage from the oils you capped.

My main question is what did you spend your powers point on? Maybe you should have gone for tank hunter ambush and used it on the gaurdian at the end.
There is I notice in these KOTH a very stong emphasize in ignoring the sea as a possible alternative alot of the time. At least for evacuating the harvesters. I know you tried with 1, but maybe you should have sent the second one out there earlier.
But dont feel bad. I got raped by the exact same tactic earlier today except I was soviet.
The only counter I have found to the IFVs is terrordrones in 2nd mode and sickles killing them (or go Navy instead of War Factory and use stingrays to one shot em.)
Enjoy. its a pretty short game.
