Battlezone 1

Fun fight, GOLEM(with his minutes to build up) vs. Me, with Spork watching. Lots of action, APCs, Golems, howitzers, tanks, and even a few light tanks.

Games with JonBlund.

Probably the first warstories with JonBlund in it for a long time... So I just had to post them.
Do note these were his first games in about 2 years. But fun games I have to say.

Compass. 3 lives.

I had North Spawn, Jon had South. After initial gathering I moved on the Western side to find JonBlund with constructor, silo, scavs, and deploying factory. I engage with 2 tanks, 1 scout and and an APC, and in a series of attacks and counterwaves, Obliterate Jon's Western presence. I send my APC to finish the job, and when I return, all thats left is scrap, and a few of Jon's fleeing forces. He did lose a life in the process.







Jon soon retreated his recycler to the east. In a merciful fashion I let him go.(Don't get used to it )



He moved from East to Northeast in what appeared to be a flank attack, so I retaliated before he could react, and I took no prisoners.



Game 2. Corner Pocket, 3 lives.

It was standard scrap gathering, but on the East side of the pocket, I found JonBlund setting up a scrap collection operation. I quickly build a scout. Soon after a standoff he retreats, I surmise that hes moving to the other corner so I send my scout to follow a scav still scavenging and move my recy and constructor to the Western pocket. That's where I found Jon's forces and I set up an immediate strike force. I build up your standard outpost and engage. An epic battle ensued.




I fought Jon back to the corner of his base. There he pulled a massive counterattack in the cramped corners. Quite a few brave men died that day. Including Jon.



Soon his recycler and base was destroyed, and was down to a pilot. How does he die? Plasma Pilot vs Bomber FTW!



GG's Jon!

Hyper beat me up in a rather relaxed way. It was frustrating. I hear he's only 15 years old. That does not make me feel any better
Your overview and the seemingly ease with how you direct a varity of atack units and create a deadly army with it may be hard to overcome.
If I can't get even with at least you these few winter months then I may regret this come back. I will however not give up trying. 3 wins in a row within 3 weeks is my goal for now.

The possibilities this game still seems to have after so many years is simply amazing. That counts even if I would be rusty as hell.

My computer did well in these 1 vs 1 games btw.

The Defeat of the GOLEM Empire
HyperFighter (NSDF) VS GOLEM (CCA)
3 lives
Bio Metal Run
Witnesses: Sporkinator, Ammy.

HyperFighter pinned GOLEM down even faster this time than last time they fought with me watching. Last time it was CCA vs CCA. This time Hyper fought as NSDF. He quickly collected scrap and secured the center, sending GOLEM retreating to his base. Hyper advanced closer and closer, securing the remote geysers closest to GOLEM's base and bringing his production units there. The mountain bug occurred, but I didn't see it, Hyper mentioned it. Hyper became MDM-bugged and lost credit and weapon strength. Howies entered the fight at this point, and GOLEM began to make scrap as well as lose lives. GOLEM's Howies got blown to smithereens. Hyper and his well-commanded army took out GOLEM's Recycler, and in the chaos of it all, GOLEM lost his last life and Hyper eliminated the remains of GOLEM's base. Game Over!

I took many screen shots, but I chose 2 of the end game screen shots to actually post:

As promised. In memory of all those who fell at GOLEM's hands. The Defeat Of GOLEM!

It was Jon's choice of map, and he had worn away most the rust out of his technique, but I think I'll let the video do my talking.

Was a GG I understood too late that your base was guardet by 2-3 bombers when you were killed and sent to spawn. Was waiting on a pack of tanks to take out your production units but I got blown out of tank by their rockets. Quite a few of my tanks got blown up there as well right after when you got back.

Second game on Canyon Hyper suddenly was established in the senter. He visited me right away with tanks and APC, but failed. Howies started pounding soon after, but my howies shot back
A bit back and forth for 15 minutes but Hyper would not move and kept rebuilding units and supplies.
I dropped a daywrecker at his outpost but he saw it coming and took it out. So the plan of a mass attack after daywrecker hit got spoiled.
I did not notice my rec was smoking black because of new howies that were sneaked into position close enough to my rec. Tried to move recy but too late. Then soon after the rest of my base was under mass attack and taken out. I had 90 scrap but was on foot..

Hyper is good at DM as well, so that makes it hard to get rid of his AI too. Anyway, 20 min of good action and my fourth loss in 4 games.

Fly from Sweden and valak also knocked me down but that was a week ago.

I got valak on Ice Baby today That was more of an old days strat though. But a GG it was.

There's been a lot of wars going on lately:

GOLEM is a pro basesitter. The 10 Howies behind 10 Golems, and him in a fast dual SP Fighter is quite a challenge, even when the scrapmaking helps him keep it going. My APCs got smacked time after time, and the same with my Howies. It is pretty scary to have 10 Golems coming your way. The sync off did not make it easier.
Unfortunately we lost connection after 1 and a half hour but it sure was a different GG.

Have been playing a few fun games with Jens as well. The games are fast with a lot of different moves. He uses CCA extremely well. 3-2 to him for now if we count the rec-diving/solo rec-rush legal. His solo recrush/dive does force you to take time and scrap consuming defensive counter measures. Last game on Pacman got messed up because of sync-off. If it wasn't for that he would have won that one as well. Quite amazing me and Jens were playing this same game back in 1998-2001!

HyperFighter is 5 wins in front of me since last match on Theater. He got out of trouble because he kept me busy enough and caused me to forget using my Bombers at a critical moment. I went on his Thumper a few too many times and got picked out of the air by well aimed dual SP's, first my tank and then me pilot butt. It was a very good game. Still unsure how to deal with his overview, DM and don't panic attitude. I sure struggle with finding a ballance between max scrap intake and early use of offensive units. But Hyper is going down sooner or later. I must avoid ending up suffering the Hyper complex!

Also GG's with Hal9000. He totally outfoxed me on Corners while I hurried for scrap, resulting in him having it all We moved around the map and I tried to trapp him with the little I had. Good attempt but did not help.
On Citadels I got lucky when he messed up a mass attack, giving me tonns of scrap. From there I slowly gained ground. Bad luck in sniping cost him his lives.

Great fun, thanks for the games!

Once again I had to fight a good chunk of the game without any weapon upgrades. It was a good thing my howies saved the day. I was taking a risk choosing Theater because it is kind of an iffy map. I will win some games there and lose some others. I do hope to make it to 10 wins, though you might get me before that happens.

FFA - Biometal Run - 5 lives

Not too exiting on the vid maybe but it sure was for us in game. Hyper, fury and me kept messing up things for eachother, it was a constant 2 vs 1. Hyper lost 3 of his lives early. Small details and a hypersnipe kept me from taking out Hypers Recycler. After a pretty intense 30 min Hyper got in control of a nice pile of scrap just outside my base area and I took the chance to move my production units to fury's base. fury also had little left and I managed to take out his recycler and deployed my recycler there.
Hyper found out I had escaped being locked up in my base and went looking for me. I had not come any further than building a few scouts that were busy to take out fury's factory, so now it was my recyclers turn to die.
Soon after he went on to Elwins base. fury was already dead and I was on foot.

Elwin conceedet soon. I was trying my sniper luck but got killed and was soon down to 1 life. Right after respawn I saw a tiny yellow spot right above my head. 1 second later a daywrecker hit the ground beside of me. It is unknown if it was hypertiming or hyperluck, but the vid shows some interesting use of ComSat.

haha wow that was indeed an epic match. i started with my usual rush to the middle, and of course hyper showed up soon after that. HUGE amounts of fighting resulted; both of us were ejected multiple times. in the end, i gained the upper hand by way of increased bomber re-enforcements and jonblund's well timed attack. i collect the scrap, and worked on setting up my base. later, i was forced to leave my outpost in the middle by hyper. elwin was not really involed this whole time(except with harassing my outpost from the rear). meanwhile, jonblund and hyper were fighting hard, and i collected my army and set up my base. i then moved to build an outpost right outside jonblunds base. he had tons of buildings right there, and so did hyper. at first, jon tried to expel me from the area, and i held him off. then hyper showed up and took jons attention. then outta nowhere elwin shows up with this huge army at my back, and right after it hyper comes again. result: i was wiped out. hyper also took care of elwins forces too. so me and elwin duked it out w/ plasma rifles. i lost:( i reappeared back at my base, suddenly seeing jon invading and i lost the remainder of my lives and units there....

these words cannot describe the epicness of this battle. truely a good game. 2 pros, me, and a very new guy who played very well. great game.

Best freakin game of 2010 yet! I don't think I could add much more to what everyone said, except Jon being modest on how his flanking maneuver screwed me big time. I was starved for scrap, and each time I retaliated I was losing more. You don't get fighting that intense so often now.

Oh my gosh! Did I fail badly or did I fail miserably? I fought wrong the whole match, with the exception of collecting scrap from both sides. That's the only thing I did correctly. I built some tanks and scouts and started to try to locate furykiller, who seemed to be having a fun time killing all my scavengers. I got distracted between the left and right sides of the map. While I was on the right, taking down his silo and killing a few of his scavs, he fortified himself on the left side. I tried to take him out, but fought completely wrong and lost my army, dropping tons of scrap for him to collect. I sniped him and then got killed by something else. I commandeered a scavenger and mad a few daring runs to pick up a few scrap pieces. I eventually recycled my 2 minelayers and had 17 scrap, then built myself a tank and upgraded with 1 SP-Stabber, and had the last remaining scav following recycler. He brought his whole army this time. I ejected him, but his AI ejected me and wiped out my production units. The game is basically over at this point, I have lost. I landed on the high ground and furykiller had one of his tanks pick him up, which was upgraded. Looking down from the cliffs, I noticed he wasn't leaving, and was shooting 1 of my barracks. I walked off the ledge and brought my scope up in mid-air and I sniped him! But then I got ran-over by one of his following AI. Now we're both down to 1 life and his AI tanks begin leaving my base, I mean scrap field. I hop back to my ex-base and snipe a few of them off and destroy a few of his scavs and silo. I push one of the tanks near a barracks, and a pilot hops out to drive it. I then enter one which had decent hull and ammo. He then comes back in an upgraded tank, and we dogfight. I win the fight despite having only stock weapons. At this moment, the pilot enters the tank, and I command him to kill furykiller. But I end up killing him myself. I won, barely.

Good game! You played way better than me, and deserved to win.

Sorry, no ss or video on this one. I forgot to do either.
