Prelude:
Hi there. I'm Meloaf, and this is my first Battle Report. I was going to try to start doing reports on a regular basis, but since I've given up SC for lent, I guess that'll have to wait... Anyway, I hope you enjoy the report!
Map: (4)Lost Temple
Opponents:
savage_panda - Brown Ptotoss (chosen)
Versus
Mickey_Megabyte - Orange Terran (chosen)
Gameplay:
The first few minutes are uneventful, with savage_panda making a lone pylon and then going off to scout, and with Mickey_Megabyte going for an immediate wall-in to prevent a Zealot rush. Luckily for Mickey, panda doesn't scout his base out until he's got the wall-in up with two barracks and three Marines waiting for intruders.

This gives Mickey some time to start scouting out panda's base. Meanwhile, panda has warped in two more pylons and two gateways, with three Zealots ready.
Panda warps in a pylon near the ramp on his base, then warps in a cybernetics core. Mickey starts making an academy and a third barracks, then makes a few more Marines and starts another depot. By the time he finds panda's main, panda has five Zealots and is halfway through warping in a forge. In a lame attempt to close in pandas base, he orders his SCV to begin making a depot well within site of the Zealots. Seeing this, panda orders three of his Zealots to attack the SCV and his unfinished building.
At the first sight of the Zealots, Mickey cancels the depot and makes a run for it.
Panda then warps in another pylon at the west end of his mineral patch and then makes a citadel of adun under his cybernetics core. Mickey brings his SCV back to his base, and sensing and impending Zealot attack, makes a bunker with the SCV while a Medic heals it.
He also starts construction on an engeneering bay, and finally gets a comsat up. Once the ebay is finished, he makes a turret in case of some templar, and begins making a factory.
As soon as the citadel is finished, panda begins warping in a templar archive. Once that's done, he immediately warps in two Dark Templar followed by two Zealots. Then he groups all his forces together and prepares to attack.
Mickey starts on another factory just as the first one is nearing completion, when he realizes that he forgot to make more depots! he clicks on a SCV and has him make one. Meanwhile, panda's troops are almost at Mickey's city, and he's halfway finished warping in a robotics facility and a photon cannon. Thanks to the turret that Mickey put up, he sees the Zealots and the Temps first and his bunker starts shooting.

Panda retreats out of the bunker's range and and waits for two more Zealots to show up, then commences with the attack. However, due to the wall-in, only two Zealots at a time can fit on the ramp and attack the bunker. As the Zealots start dying, the bunkers hitpoints start dropping, and Mickey doesn't send an SCV to repair it until it hits the red. just a second before the SCV can reach the bunker, it falls to the blades of the Zealot, and the wall is breached.

Before the rest of the Marines (all five of 'em) can respond to the attack, the turret is taken out and the DT dissapears. The Medics are too slow to heal the Marines, and all but two die before they manage to take out one of the three remaining Zealots.

Mickey lifts off his ebay, and constructs another turret.
With two Zealots and one DT left, panda has them attack one of the barracks while he makes some more Zealots, a Shuttle, and a robotics support bay. Just as the DT and the Zealots destroy the second turret, a Tank pops out of one of the factories (a Vulture is being made in the second one) and attacks one of the Zealots. The DT and Zealots all rush to attack the Tank, but it escapes before they can finish it off. As they chase the Tank down, the Vulture pops out of the second factory and starts shooting at one of the Zealots. It manages to take on of them out and the tank finishes off the second one just as two more arive.

Both new Zealots begin attacking the machine shop which has half way researched siege mode, and the DT keeps heading toward the Tank which is being repaired by an SCV. The two Zealots join in on the fight and succesfully take out the Tank, but three Marines each pop out of the three barracks and begin shooting at the Zealots. This time the Medics are quick to heal, and both Zealots are taken out with zero Marine casualties! The DT heads over to the mineral patch and starts taking out SCV's, but Mickey doesn't notice until most of them are taken out. He then takes out the DT with his comsat and some Marines. Now that the DT's gone, Mickey sends an SCV back to the ramp to build another bunker. Around this time, panda starts an expansion in the northern base.
By this time, panda has two more Zealots and two Dragoons that are going for a full frontal attack against Mickey's base, but the bunker attacks them first. This time there's an SCV nearby, so the bunker stays up when the Zealots hit it, and both Zealots are killed along with the Dragoons suffering heavy damage before retreating out of the bunkers line of fire.

At this time Mickey notices that a Reaver has been dropped smack dab into the middle of his mineral pile and has taken out all of his SCVs.

A second Reaver is being Shuttled over to Mickey's base, and together they manage to destroy the bunker that was keeping the Dragoons out.

With only 81 minerals left, Mickey attempts to rebuild his base with his command center, two factories, three barracks, and lone ebay, but panda had other things in mind. He sends the eight Dragoons he's been building into Mickey's base and takes out the command center and all three barracks.

The two factories and the ebay however, manage to drift out of the Dragoons range before they're destroyed. As the dragoons mop up whats left of Mickey's city and with nowhere for Mickey to run, he lands in pandas's base!
Panda of course, attacks with the four Dragoons he's got stationed next to his mineral patch, but soon withdraws them and drops his Reavers next to the building. They take out one of the factories, when he drops an Archon and a Probe on the second factory.

He then withdraws the Archon, and has all his Probes attack the factory!

Once they've taken down the final factory, they move on to the already heavily damaged ebay. "GG's" are exchanged as the final hitpoints of the ebay fall, and the game ends with panda victorious.
So there you have it. My very first Battle Report. I hope you enjoyed it, and comments are very much appreciated.
