Holy shit, that was bad play. You said some of the micro was bad? ALL of it was bad. I don't think you killed a single enemy unit with your demolishers and ground fire, cat. Instead, your demos just died to his demos. I also saw cygnus dancing AC-1000s around like a tard when you had no anti-air to speak of... moving a group of mobile AA right up next to his tanks, terrible micro... fighting a tank battle with 5 tanks when you have 10 other tanks scattered around, idle. WTF? Cygnus lost a couple AC-1000s to 5 fighters because he kept his 5 fighters in his base, idling until after the AC-1000s were dead. And I ahve no idea why that game took forty minutes, cygnus could have sniped you AT ANY TIME after like 15 because 2 AC-1000s would, for sure, beat the amount of AA you had. Your ACU was not under any shields and protected by less than 10 mobile AA when he had 2 AC-1000s.... and cygnus didn't take the shot. (And long range artillery? Really? I mean REALLY?!?!)
ACU snipe with AC1gays? Not in this case. He had structure AA, shields on factories, tons of mobile AA, some fighters and hunker. Too risky to go in there like that.

I counted. It was 8 mobile AA and 1 land factory shield. ONE factory, not factories. NO AA towers for like 5 minutes.
I counted just for you. At any point where I had enough AC1gay for a possibly succesful snipe (so 2+), his ACU was surrounded by 3 RS + 1 mex (all with AA towers), a factory with a shield and AA gun on it and land units with AA upgrade. His ACU also very, very likely had hunker, maybe even the 15%+ hunker upgrade too. He also had some fighters, enough to challenge me and clearly a suicide to send your airforce over that stuff.

What I don't understand, is when the first AC1000 popped up, he called almost all small ground units. But then he didn't use his own ground units to finish you off. That was really strange.. like he wanted to 'play' a bit longer.
