(DA)HELLFIRE who, had seen a small force of marines exit Lizzz...~LiZarD 's base, decided to warn his ally of the impending attack. He spawned a few hydralisks and several zerglings. When the marines showed up, however, some hydralisks from (DA)HELLFIRE's exspansion we're being rallied from there, to the main base, and a few we're killed by stimmed marines before they made it up atop the ramp. A smart ass marine made a comment about the wussy zerg, but then a few lurkers came down, sending that smart ass marine to the firey barracks in the ground.

     During the attack, A~Butter~Slicer's spire completed, and -=DarkHawke=-'s two factories came online. (he also had started a new command center, which was now complete, and floating towards the southern middle exspansion) He had 4 tanks, 5 marines, 1 medic, and 2 vultures head out to the small area that is between the western middle exspansion, and the top left natural, and stationed himself there, by sieging his tanks, and stimming his marines. He killed a  zergling, and A~Butter~Slicers 8 or so mutalisks raced in to destroy the tanks. They succeded, and went around to the otherside, to kill the rest of the tanks. A~Butter~Slicer sent his mutalisks down to peon harass, and check -=DarkHawke=-'s natural for an exspansion. Unfortunately for A~Butter~Slicer, -=DarkHawke=- had already positioned 2 Missle Turrets behind his mineral line, and they forced the muties to flee back to they're home

        -=DarkHawke=-, who had started a Command Center some while ago, and had it now hoovering over the southern exspansion, finally set up camp there, starting to mine gas ASAP.

.

        (DA)HELLFIRE decided that mutalisk production was going to be needed much more than the lurkers, and that he could probabaly take a gas-only exspansion, so he gave A~Butter~Slicer permission to mine the vespene resources at the northern exspansion. The mutalisks, however, we're already very large in numbers, and we're able to fend off the rather poorly executed tank push attempt made by -=DarkHawke=-.

     Unbeknownst to me, the rather crappy observer, Lizzz...~LiZarD had set up a small fire base outside of (DA)HELLFIRE's natural, which was defended mostly by hydralisks and zerglings, with a few key lurkers to chew up any infantry that got too close. Lizzz...~LiZarD , who had the ability to expand without having any trouble right now, should have taken both exspansions, his natural, and the one between him and (DA)HELLFIRE, but instead he only took he natural. -=DarkHawke=- had started construction of   3 barracks, planning to have them making marines and medics, at his current exspansion. Lizzz...~LiZarD had made a few wraiths to patrol the skies, making sure to keep the zerg from spreading they're thick carpet of purple puss all over the map. -=DarkHawke=- had also made several wraiths, to combat the ever growing zerg air army. Below, I show you a small skirmish of -=DarkHawke=-'s wraiths, and A~Butter~Slicers ever growing population of mutalisks. The mutalisks fleed because the wraiths would not stop coming!

        By now, -=DarkHawke=- and (DA)HELLFIRE are both at hive level, and (DA)HELLFIRE despratly needs gas, because he has to build defilers and more queens in order to hold off the quickly growing Lizzz...~LiZarD army, sitting at his doorstep. A~Butter~Slicer was much more confident. He sent 7 mutalisks out to check out any exspansions, and he found one at the southern most exspansion, which was heavily reinforced with marines and medics, who quickly devourer most of the mutalisks, and the rest we're chased off by cloaked wraiths.

        A few more small wraith/muta skirmishes we're enjoyed, usually ending in the superior cloaked wraiths favor, they're was one at Lizzz...~LiZarD 's natural, and another over -=DarkHawke=-s natural, and yet another over a fledging Lizzz...~LiZarD exspansion, at the spot between him and (DA)HELLFIRE. (DA)HELLFIRE also finally takes a gas exspansion, and he takes the one closer to his ally then himself, because Lizzz...~LiZarD could clearly see the other one from his new exspansion, with a science vessel, that was parasited. A~Butter~Slicer tried to expand to the spot between him and -=DarkHawke=-, defending it with hydralisks and zerglings, but a squad of marines and medics we're sent to deal with it. They encounte(DA)HELLFIRE mutalisks, this time with overlord support, and had a little trouble, losing all but 2 marines and 1 medic, but then the wraiths arrived, and made short work of the mutalisks. Marines came in by 3's, but slowly, and eventually destroyed the attempted exspansion by A~Butter~Slicer, who immediately destroyed the puny force with 9 fresly spawned mutalisks. But it was too late.

        A tank, that had been sitting outside of A~Butter~Slicer's exspansion since the first tank push, fired upon 2 zerglings that we're heading down to defend. 1 of them died, while the other went over and killed a Siege Tank, by itself.

Meanwhile...

   Lizzz...~LiZarD had started an attack on (DA)HELLFIRE's gas-only exspansion,  easily destroying the underdefended base. (DA)HELLFIRE also felt cruel enough to take out Lizzz...~LiZarD 's only source of vespene gas, so he threw up 2 darkswarms over the bunkers outside his base, and killed them with cracklings, followed by hydralisks fending off marine reinforcements. They continued they're way into the Lizzz...~LiZarD exspansion, darkswarming everything in site that needed it. At one point, 2 zerglings under darkswarm destroyed 12+ marines!

    Lizzz...~LiZarD , who no longer had a source of gas, sent a small group of m&m, and a tank,around the long way to (DA)HELLFIRE's base, they stimmed and charged up the ramp, while the tank sieged at low ground. The marines and medics we're stimmed, and many a zergling died, even after ensnare. A few zerglings from the attack at Lizzz...~LiZarD s exspansion came up and "humped" the tank to death (look closely, doesn't that look like 3 female devils laying on a tank?) The marines we're destroyed by 6 newly hatched hydralisks.

    Unluckily for Lizzz...~LiZarD , he started making Firebats and medics, assuming that he would encounter more lings, instead he found about 10 hydralisks. Who do you think wins in a battle between 6 firebats, 2 marines, and 2 medics, or 10 hydralisks? If you guessed the terran infantry, your a freak =] Using the advantages of shift-clicking, zerg destroyed all of the terran infantry with loss of 1 hydralisk. A nearby queen was irradiated in retaliation.

Overview of the current situation

Me, and my stupid self, can't watch two 1v1's at the same time. That's the way this game is operating right now, and -=DarkHawke=- is the only one getting a supply of gas, and even that must be running low. Everyone else has they're empty geysers. A~Butter~Slicer has 2 of them. 

    (DA)HELLFIRE knew he needed another exspansion, ASAP, and he started a hatchery and a gas geyser at the sport he recently took over from Lizzz...~LiZarD . Lizzz...~LiZarD immediately countered with several marines, medics, firebats, and wraiths, and -=DarkHawke=-, in the first sign of a 2v2 in the game, sent about 7 wraiths. The exspansion fell with ease.

    (DA)HELLFIRE, once again knowing something, sent his entire force of zerglings down south at Lizzz...~LiZarD 's natural exspansion, trying to destroy it completely. Unfortunatly, a SINGLE bunker, with 4 scv's repairing it was able to drive of atleast 70 zerglings.  (DA)HELLFIRE was now down to a very small army of about 20 hydralisks, and had no more mineral or gas income, and was probabally very low on both, maybe entirely out of gas ( he was not making more hydras, just lings, which don't fare very well vs terran, not without defiler's, which he wasn't making anymore either)

        The marine forces of both -=DarkHawke=- and Lizzz...~LiZarD stepped up to the plate, and drove themselves up the (DA)HELLFIRE  ramp, where they encountered several zerglings, a few sunkens, and alot of drones. The drones escaped to A~Butter~Slicer's base however, and survived long enough to create a few buildings, so that he could atleast make zerglings.

Finally! A player is at a state where he is not really a threat to anyone! Now we're getting somewhere! Of course, it's not long now until A~Butter~Slicer unleashes the power of 100 mutalisks he's been hiding from everyone. Wait..that's not the way it happened!

    Actually, Lizzz...~LiZarD , who happened to have the only non-defensive tank on the team right now, started to hit on A~Butter~Slicer's gas at the northern base. A~Butter~Slicer, was getting gas however, from an exspansion at the gas-only nearest to him (the one (DA)HELLFIRE had earlier) A large force of m&m from -=DarkHawke=- changed that, by using his now 3/3 marines to destroy it. A~Butter~Slicer had no choice. He sunkened up his natural exspansion, and sat, waiting for doomsday.

    -=DarkHawke=- positioned his marines and medics at 2 of the 3 entrances to the zerg natural exspansion, and Lizzz...~LiZarD positioned himself at the entrance to the base that held the third entrance, with tanks. -=DarkHawke=- charged foward, stimming his marines, and destroying the base.

"Macro > Zerg"

        All that was left to do, was attack A~Butter~Slicer's main, and have them concede, The game is over. Winners:

-=DarkHawke=- And Lizzz...~LiZarD win over A~Butter~Slicer and (DA)HELLFIRE

Lessons Learned

• It took us forever to decide on the teams, and both teams we're very even in skill. The problem was team work and lack thereof. I think that the zerg could have easily overpowered Darkhawke in the early stages of the game, and taken over most of the map, had they worked together

• Zerglings, IMHO, should never, ever, be used against a bunker being repaired by more than 2 scv's, without darkswarm.

• Everyone played great. I can't believe that it didn't go on forever. only 49 minutes.

• I think I'm addicted to writing battlereports. I don't think I even did this game justice, I just love writing br's =]

• Don't ever, ever, play these guys in  a 4on1. You'll lose horribly, because you can't play 4 1v1's at the same time.

• in 2v2, attack the same person, unless absoulutely neccesary to play 2 1v1's.
