Yeah, the High Templar is the protoss Cure All unit. Wait, that's the dragoon. No wait I mean the carrier. Well basically just build whatever you want, they all work. Nice Report.
Protoss Guy: I'll make some dragoons, that should cover it.
Terran guy: Hmm.. 4 goliaths, 15 marines, 4 firebats, 3 medics, 6 tanks, and 5 wraiths. Ok now I'm set. |

| Johnny, that is so true. Anyways...great BR man. It was interesting to see a third-person view from the report. |

Oh OH you'll need 4 ghosts and a SV with irradiate and EMP just in case too!
=P |

Try playing as toss vrs zerg.
protoss guy: I'll make dragoons, templar, reaver, archons, corsair, zealot, dark templar. Whew. Cost 20,000/15,000 but I'm good.
Zerg: Hmmmm. 5,000 of cracklings will cover that. |

Cracklings are nasty vs toss. I agree with that.
Terran vs Zerg=Slight Terran Edge
Zerg vs Protoss=Slight Zerg Edge
Terran vs Protoss=Hefty Protoss Edge |

| I'm still lost, could someone please tell me what a crackling is? A _FULLY_ upgraded zergling with speed, 3/3, etc is my guess, from what I've read in some prev reports. |

Thx for the comments guys. Yep, it was a fun battle, I thought I was gonna be able to Z rush him until I saw them 4 sunkens. And, re-reading it, battles look muuuuuch better when told in third person, as much from an observer's point of view as possible. And yes, a crackling is a fully upgraded, speed and adrenal upgraded zergling. They go and attack so fast, it's like they're on crack.
And one more thing. I had screenshots of this battle, but I don't know how to add them. Anyone care to enlighten me? |

I never understood that, I've seen people on crack, but most don't really attack fast, they just sort of throw their arms around in circles and charge.... oh well

I think every nohunters game is on temple. Perhaps I will create a notemple channel.
And no I'm not doing this to rebel, I've never liked temple, ever. |
| #10 Longlivethemac[2853] |

But then we would eventually have a no channel for every map. Plus unless you make it not hunters and temple you will get one of the overplayed maps. Why not make an island chanel or a Proving ground channel.
Oh and great BR. You really had me excited about the templars, maybee I am just tired. |

I always thought of cracklings as like crack troops. I had no idea narcotics were involved... Anyway nice report. And Johnny, while you're talking about units, the marine. The BEST single do it all unit (considering it's all minerals). I love pairing marines with sci vessels... But you're right overall. And Mark4, have you ever seen 4 archons being attacked by cracklings. It's funny.
There was this one game, where 60 cracklings attacked (5 control groups) 4 archons killed them all. One archon casualty. Unfortunately I was the Zerg. There's a counter to everything...

| So I build the counter to one zerg strat. He switches in mid stride, going quick air from his 12 hatches, or quick hydras, or nearly anything. So all the resources I put in my counters are wasted. Then after I barely hold off his new attack designed to kill my counter he's expanded another three times and switched back to his original plan. Then he switches again.... |

| Lol at Johnny's comment on the top, so true. In addition to every terran unit mentioned above that you need to bring on your attack, don't forget to bring some dependable, hard working SCV's. So you can repair your tanks and gol's and wraiths, and secure your forward offensive push with bunkers and turrets. |
| #15 JSH[2867] |

I was kidding about creating notemple. I just think it's funny how we try to get away from one overplayed map by playing another overplayed map.
I'd rather play hunters than temple anyway. |

| That report was great, i was thoroughly entertained. I think it deserved more than a 6. I just wish you had put some pics up. Good work. |
| #17 -Flathead-[2894] |

Dammit!!! I had awesome screenshots of this battle(got every instance of lurkers dying on screen), but I know next to nothing about HTML and couldn't figure out how to get the screenshots in. Anybody care to post some help or mail me on how to do this? My mail addy is: dswager@cisco.com
Uh oh, now you know where I work...
