This is something I've been trying to pull off. It's quite hard because of the score is visible to my opponent but this time it worked relatively well smile.gif

*EDIT*
The length of the game is less than 15min.

I didn't really see the jester rush. Sure, you were quick to build them, but you hardly used them. This was a T2 Hoplite rush, if anything.

I didn't really understand why you didn't try to take out his AA with your first Jester? Their strong enough to hold their own against a few AA. I'm sure your second Jester would have been finished before your first one would have died. You would have then had too much air to ground power for him to do anything.

Then again, I may be wrong...

MonarchDodra, well you're right about the Jester usage. I need to rename the replay to something else.

I think he already had two land factories and two T1 mobile AA up so I decided to not continue with Jesters. One Jester can hold against one land factory. Two factories can repel that Jester quite easily. With two Jesters attacking it would've been a close call so I decided to go fast T2 after that. I'm usually not able to finish my opponent with Jesters only. It just gives me enough time to make that T2 land factory.

I enjoyed the flavour of that replay.
When you take a gander at the mass used at the end it speaks for itself.

Just showing them the jester in itself gives you an advantage. They suddenly deviate from their normal build order and play very conservative/unorganised, and have to use a lot of their mass on AA.
