Ok, no jokes this time. Hmmmm... Maybe you were a little too ambitious in wanting to place most of your factories in such a forward position. By the time you built them, your very aggressive opponent was already upon you and you couldn't get your unit production going properly. I've noticed that the first thing you usually build from your 1st factory is an engiee. which isn't necessarily bad but it can cost you on small early harass friendly maps like WD. If nothing else, at least building a scout before the 1st engiee. would help you get a heads up on any aggressive stunts your opponent might be trying to pull. Building an additional factory or two closer to your main base could also help. Having them on the front line is nice but risky and this time it cost you. In the end, when you're in trouble like in that match and you see he's just spamming arty, try counter spamming flares/hunters/MMs. They're a cheap fast response to arty which has little chance of hitting them, especially Fervors.

ps: Your ACU took a lot of damage from that t1 pd and Fervors, and all while standing still, watch out for that. ph34r.gif

Hey thanks Jean=A=Luc, I know I can always count on you for coming through wink.gif Thanks for the Flare suggestion, that is a good idea smile.gif Nexttime I will definately use that. Also, yes, my opp was interfering with my factory construction quite well. I tried to use two engineers to build my factories and use my Cmdr for OfCom duties but it seemed that he managed to get a P.D. up in secret so then he had too much firepower. Thanks for the tips smile.gif
