My opponent: Some guy who chose Protoss.
Since this map was small I dicided to sharpen my Terran skillz. =) This report is to prove Firebats own your Zealots, Hydras, Dark Templars, Zerglings!! But for this report, is to prove your fancy Zealots and Dark Templars are nothing, but marshmellows to them.
This is my simple Firebat, Tank, Goliath assault force. Now, let me point out, that as soon as the machine shop was done the bastard (is swearing allowed here?) had Photons up near my choke. Nice, nice. He managed to rip a good deal out of me. Taking down 3 supply depots and keeping my factory alive with a few repairing SCVS. Now, I kill the Photons. I got careless and didn't use SCV recon and I decided to wait for comsat! (Doh!) If I had i would've spotted it. =)
Now, it's time kill. Unfortunately, I see ripples in the terrain! I check the comsat and relized I forgot to get it! So I run back in the safty of my base. Now I got comsat and kill the two DTs sitting outside. With that done, I send in the force of 6 bats, 3 medics, and 4 tanks. He manages to storm my bats, but doesn't kill them. Yay! So now, I get the SCV to build a turret, until I remembered I forgot to bring one! Silly me! =) I quickly summon one, but it's too late, he sends in a nice group of DTs that get cut down to only 2 of the 6 that attacked my 4 tanks, and 6 bats. Cost wise, the bats did more damage to him than he did me! Afterall, 'bats are cheap and DTs are expensive! But he gets my tanks! If I had the turret up I sure would have owned his cloaked booty!
I expand to the upper right hand corner of the map. Well, after getting the CC done, he attacks it with zealots and DTs. I lift off and send in the reinforcements of 4 gols, 2 tanks, 4 bats, and a single medic. I manage to kill the force and one managed to get away.
Having noticed he had an expansion just south (just outside the ramp) I pound it with my tanks. He storms and 1 of my gols is sent to the great beyond! =) Bye, bye photons. But unfortunately he sends in about 3 DTs and 4 Zealots. Ouch, he certainly showed me whose boss! =)
He kills my expansion.
I go over their and attempt to secure it again.
On the away that same force came along and attacked my 2 tanbks, 1 SV, 4 bats and a single gol. I matrix 1 tanks and matrix a single bat so it would last a little longer. Well, bye, bye zeals and DTS, the 4 bats rapped all 6 or 7, or 8 of them. I do not know how to count!
After that, my jaw drops as 8 carriers, 1 arbitor and supposedly one observer came and killed my CC at the new expand.
Well, I conceded with a GG.
It's 1 on 1, a zealot can win. But if it's a 12 on 12, firebats surely win. It's that toasty goodness about them that kills DTs and zealots. You need a decent amount of marines to equal the power of 12 zealots, so bats are the way to go. The need for air support? Bah. |
