    last stand

    I just played a dean game that was kinda epic.

    My team was an anders who did... I'm not really sure, but she made cobras and wolverines eventually and at the end had some hawks; and I also had a major PoR that played like a first-timer (he asked me if I would be ready to rush by 20min...). I was cutter

    Opponents were Anders, Forge, PoR

     

    I led with an elephant and some supply pads, built flamers and marines from the ele and built a barracks to research flashbang (reactor was in there somewhere).  I stole some of the enemy crates and major-recruit followed me over and gathered some too.  I was about ready to sack my barracks for a vd when I saw anders going vd and my major-recruit assured me he could handle a summit.  (as you might have guessed with two less than speedy allies, I had resigned myself to turtling as long as i could.)  So keep my barracks, leisurely tech everything available there and sack it for a vd.  during this, I managed to persuade dear PoR to harass with banshees, while I cleared two expansions, offered PoR one, and grabbed the walls.  I then build cobras because anders was struggling with a pop of grizzlies + a mix of hunters and vampires (I told PoR to ditch air when I saw tons of vamps counter his weak push),  I pump flamers from my elephant and drop ODST by the hunters while pleading with recuit-major to send his new jackals.  we beat em back, I withdraw to my shell and wonder what the  hell I'm gonna do with all these ODST...  I tech up my wolves as enemy anders is trying hit and runs with mega-barrage on PoR's non-shieldgenned base.  I also manage to get most of the field armory techs except 4x mac.

    Now I get to watch my allies slowly die from hit and runs (forge mostly sticks to grizzlies--mixes in some wolves eventually, anders had 3 spartanks that died and then sticks to air and PoR goes mostly hunter/vamp) and I beat back anything on my side while trying to get my ODST killed off on the other (obviously I had a force that was a tad too slow to offer much help to my allies, but I tried).  Finally I was alone, me v 3.

    I killed three waves of all three throwing everything they had at me (only died when I got 4x mega barraged followed by kamikaze banshees), after the killed my base they all fled because I still had 42/40 pop (hijacked a griz), but I was at 498 resources and they occasionally sent a scout to double check I didnt rebuild.  It was really fun holding off three full pops that long

     

    Anyone else have amazing 3v1 last stands?

    A guy attacked at 8-9 minutes in one of my games the other day with gauss hogs and both of my teammates are like "wow, they rushed, what fags" they didn't have anything to deal with it, I of course was playing anders and had about as many chain amp gremlins as they had gauss hogs. Didn't lose a single one, but I couldn't get them to my allies base in time to save it (gremlins are SO slow it's not even funny). Then a couple minutes later they came with canister shell tanks...again I completely own them. they come back with hornets, and grizzlies attacking my ally, while another guy attacks my base with marines. Take them all on again (not sure how, I had no anti-infantry except for tanks I jacked, but the only one who seemed to be firing on the marines were wolverines... Take them all out, they come back faster than I could rebuild (I lost a few gremlins and could only get about 25 pop back compared to the 120 I had to take on. I blow my base and say *** it

    Re: last stand

    At the beginning of a 3v3 party teams game, one of my teammates immediately lagged out.  Then my other teammate tells me "We can't win a 2v3, I'm leaving."  and then he resigns.  Knowig that I was outnumbered 3 to 1, I decided that the only way for me to win was to do something completely unexpected.  I built a small force of three tanks and attacked one of the enemy's bases, leaving my base completely undefended.  After surprisingly little resistance, I knocked the first person out of the game, only to find 2 armies at my base.  I decided to take the base of the person who I just defeated and then sent my tanks to atack the other 2 enemy bases.  This made them retreat to stop my tanks... not their best idea. 

    After destroying their armies and bases, I had to search the map to eliminate the countless outposts and guard against constant attack from any units that my opponents could get before I would find and destroy their rebuildng bases.  After about 30 minutes of chasing them around the map to stop them from keeping any permanent bases,they finally ran out of supplies and couldn't rebuild anymore.

    I WON  =)
