Battlezone 1

played quite a weird game now, started as a 1v1 me vs Grasshopper on Ice Ice Baby. I set up my base then Jens joined the game. We had one bigger assault in which we destroyed a few of each other's units (saw a few of hopper's bombers sneaking into my base, but they quickly got neutralized by my tanks ). Grasshopper sniped Jens a few times and he rejoined >p. After a while Jens had 0 lives and rejoined again. I sneaked onto the hills and sent a few dirty mortars into Jens' little base. He saw me and I fled, then Grasshopper left the game and set me as host. Jens had one life left so I called in my tank squadron and rushed into his base. I saw his tank and immediately started shooting. My tanks were well equipped and supported me so he went down in seconds. A while before the game ended I got killed on one of Jens' mines LOL. But still I won

gg

(...actually who wouldn't take out such a small base)

...
ok, good for you, but do you really think it was that awesome that you destroyed a newly joined player?

When someone rejoins strat, standard procedure is:

Remaining players should ally and kill the rejoiner over and over, until he stops rejoining. When he finally gives up, unally and continue to fight like nothing happened.

Hopper and Eigus were too kind to Jens, but well done anyway!

That might take a while, especially if it is Jens.

Hm... I think I was the victim of that... I went on a strat, got to the "deploying recycler" phase, and then my game quit out. Not to be deterred, I rejoined, and got totalled by a pair of grizzlies with dual SP's...

Ok then...

Naa, I'm sure that was an accident. You are new and you crashed before you even started playing. That's a different story, you can rejoin then.

All vs rejoiner implies only when vet is rejoining. Players who like to do that are Sir Stratking, valak, BUM, Rusty Guns, Jazz, Westpac...

I always explain the situation to the rejoiner, there's even pinned thread about that, but some just don't want to listen.

In 90% rejoiner is mad on the guy who kicked (beat) him out of the game. He only wants revange, and that is wrong. Rejoining is wrong. He should wait for a rematch.

This is My WarStory... HyperFighter vs. GOLEM: The Biometal Run v1.5 on Elysium, the bloodshed of that battle haunts me to this very day...

ON the morning of December 31st 2008, at approximately 8:05 a.m I challenged GOLEM to a regular strat.GOLEM was CCA, I was NSDF .I started out with my recycler in the SE. GOLEM, SW. I built 3 scavs and a constructor for a silo. At that point i moved my rec to the SE geyser plateau. GOLEM kept his rec in the same place and destroyed his constructor for making scrap.
After making a factory, another silo, and 3 Light Tanks for rec defense, i went on reconaissance to find GOLEM's base. When i found his base in the same spot and no signs of expansion, i moved my constructor to build an outpost around his base's only entrance, as a means of trapping his forces. After building a few guntowers and a supply, hangar, and a few howitzers at the outpost, i moved my factory to the SW geyser plateau, to reinforce the outpost as needed.GOLEM soon realized the existance of the outpost(via sattelite) and moved to weaken the outpost's defenses. I counterattacked with my howitzers and my own tank. He retreated back into his base but i lost 2 howitzers. I then proceded to attack with a squad of Armored Personal Carriers to wipe out his first front line of defenses. However GOLEM counterattacked with 4-5 Golem Walkers and wiped out my APCs. I sent a line of bombers to take out is line of walkers... they never stood a chance... Realizing this I quickly moved to send additional howitzers to stop the walker advance. GOLEM advanced with his walkers and took out most of my howitzers tho I came and wiped out most of his walkers and he retreated back to his base. By this time there was a noticeable no-mans land between his base and my outpost, which i proceeded to mine and force GOLEM's platoon further back, he wiped out my minelayers and that plan was soon abandoned. I then sent a tank battalion for outpost defense. Seeing that my outpost was well defended he proceeded to weaken my defense by dropping DayWreckers. Which I found very annoying. He then combined this offensive with bomber and walker raids, slowly wearing down my defenses. Though I had a whole lot of scrap and quickly repaired any damages.
Day 45, with ideas being trashed and neither side making any important victories, I then tried a new tactic.I made squads of two Rocket Tanks, and upgraded them with comets. I sent them to attack GOLEM's walkers. They were at first very effective. GOLEM's advance was haulted. However, after a while I grew impatient and sent two rocket tanks to attack his rec. What I didn't know was that he still had a few walkers with good ammunition. He blew aside this attack and charged with a bomber front line and a supporting line of walkers. My outpost's front line of defenses were heavily weakened. Though i managed to hold off the attack... and lost a life in that process. Both armies were now very weary of this fight. It was then decided that the war would be a draw. A draw it was. More than 2 hours straight of fighting and neither side had gained the upper hand. It was one of the bloodiest wars... that I had ever fought...

Afterwards we talked about the game and we both said good game. AND THAT WAS A Very VERY GOOD GAME.

That sounded like a good match. As for knocking down golems, you should do it yourself, try a wolverine equipped with two rocket bombs. Works pretty well, with a full ammo load you knock down two golems. You can also try peeking. You equip your tank with two SP-stabbers, and then you play peekaboo with the golems. They are huge, so you just wait till they are within 200m, then you peek above a terrain formation, and fire off a couple of rounds. Then you drop back down when it turns to attack. Just keep doing this, and you will be able to total 3 golems max before you run out of ammo. My last tactic is just thump em to slow them down, or use a razor with sandbag, and just keep sandbagging them till your howies kill em.

But that sounded like a great match. Maybe I should put up what me and hyper did till my comp froze.

Ok, this was my battle: Hyperfighter vs CA09 (note: this is a one sided view) Map: Moon Battle (the one with the fort-like structures)

Disclaimer: I was bored, so I forgot to turn barracks on. Therefore, was a limited pilot match. Probably not fair. Also note that this battle happened a while ago, so I may have a few details wrong.

Started out as the usual, had my recycler deploy, built two scavs, and then a constructor. While my scavs were gathering, I get my constructor and head south. I have it build a scrap silo near a large deposit, and then see a red dot on my radar. I go to check it out, and find this Czar roaming around. So I engage it, and start losing very quickly, and run away. Hyper lets me get away, and I return to my base rather annoyed. We have a short convo, and he says that he was "just exploring, and I attacked him first". This was true, so I let it be. I built an MUF and an armory, and deployed both. Then Hyper makes this comment: "You do know that you left barracks off, right?". I check my constructor, and lo and behold, he was right. So I apologize, and offer to restart, but he says it's all fine. So I re-equip my grizzly with a pair of SP-Stabbers, and then go on a solo suicide run.

I reach his base, only to find him, and a pair of APC's. I maul his Czar (which still had regular equipment) and then kill off his APC's. I wasn't fast enough to catch his pilot, so instead, I just kill off the soldiers the APC's were kind enough to deploy. I return to base, and reload and repair. The entire time, I was building grizzlies, so I get 5 of them and go on another attack run. Hyper is ready this time, and he has 6 or 7 tanks waiting for me. I get blown, and so do most of my tanks. I get into another one, and re-equip it. I also built more tanks, and another scrap silo near the middle. Then I decide, heck, since the dual-sp's are my sig, he must be telling my tank by that. So I give two other tanks dual sp's, and put them on hunt mode, since I didn't want to "lead" the attack. He intercepts my force again, and starts mauling my tanks (again), but he targets the tanks with dual-sp's. I sit in the back, and knock down two of his tanks, and then go after him. I blow his tank, and then run him over. Hooray for one kill.

I pull back, and start killing his scavs. He makes this comment that he is out of pilots, but I am feeling his pain, since I only have 2 left. I put them into tanks, and move to the middle, only to find this tank waiting for me. I engage, and get blown. That tank had blasts. So he has this czar with dual blast cannons, and I am stuck with having to get a new tank. Which I do, and then build a small outpost in the middle of the map, with a supply depot and hangar. I also build 3-4 gun towers. I go in again, and then run when I see him. He follows, and gets nuked by the towers. I think he had some wingmen, but I am not sure, all I saw were explosions. Shortly thereafter, I get into a dogfight with his tank, probably before it could fully reload, and I end up destroying his tank, because it stopped firing. I kill off his supply depot, and was about to move on to his base, when it happened.

I should probably say this now: This was an incomplete battle, and I am still waiting on the rematch. My computer froze, then crashed right after I beat his blast tank, and was about to hit his base with a small army of tanks and howies.

So yeah, Hyper, if I missed anything, please put corrections up, and enjoy the memories, I know I did.

i dont think u missed anything Cerberus, im ready for a rematch when u arehttp://battlezone1.freeforums.org/po ... &f=1&t=17#

Nice to see new faces posting warstories.

CA, Zone Alarm freezes Bz, you were already told that. Check Firewalls thread. If you don't really need ZA, use 1 out of those 2 described there.
I also believe you have port problems, check port forwarding threads. You are on 100 loss to me most of the time.

Guys, when barracks are OFF, you can get more pilots whith recycling and rebuilding of factory. You will get +5 pilots after every rebuild, with of course max of 15.

And don't send tanks, scouts and light tanks on hunt. They are "following units". Only bombers and rocket tanks are "attacking/hunting units"

thats good to know just wasn't thinkin during then. and i didn't want to recycle my factory

HyperFighter(goin on as an alias), Argyle(HES EVERYWHERE!), Mexican Muscle, and Jens.

I come to BZ lookin for a good strat, me and Mex were lookin for a game, and we found one already under way. I joined in and set up a base. Since Jens was already there and would most likely rush me(didn't know who i was, I prepared an early defense with 2 scouts and a scav. Mex joined later and Jens suggested that Mex joined him. He also asked me, but past experiences made me decline. I knew Jens would be coming soon and prepared with an army of scouts. About 4 actually. When I see the messages, "Mexican Muscles Ship Destroyed By Argyle" over and over again, and then "Mexican Muscle killed". So Mexican was out like a light. And in the meantime, Jens attacked me, is Rocket Tanks and his Czar charging at my rec, i fought valiantly against the Strat obsessed tyrant, and made him fight for his bone. Unfortunately, he managed destroy my ship and my rec, but his ship was low on ammo and health and he attempted a retreat. I was in the air and took out my Sniper Rifle, and shot him... Message "Sir Stratking sniped by HyperFighter". I said OWND! I was like 100 meters away and got lucky, but i owned that MF. Like a true Jens he cried snipe hack. And he left to sulk.(he only put in 1 life) Your own mistake Jens. So now its just me and Argyle, i have no base and only a few scouts and scavs. Argyle(OMG HES EVERYWHERE!!!!) wanted me to test his bases defenses, i almost got to his rec, which was defended by 10 odd bombers. And minelayers, and so i was officially owned. By THE ONE WHO IS EVERYWHERE!!!!!! All and all I felt like i won, The true enemy, got ownd by a single snipe.

P.S Ill put up strat vids as soon as i master guncam sound and other stuff.

Nice fight HF. I am sorry that I can't take you up on that rematch (would love to whip you again hehehehehehe), but until i fix my firewall and ZA problems (turns out my ZA was buggy anyways, which probably didn't help), I am pretty much out of the BZ multiplayer universe...

But worry not, for I will soon be getting a new laptop, and then I can get an actually decent system going. Once that happens, I hope you are ready for a lot of this message: "Your ship was destroyed by CerberusAlpha09..." hehehehehehehe...

Till then, have fun homies!

Good Hunting!

I get stronger every day Cerby, You will find yourself a war on your hands.
