Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls...this is a game you must see. This kind of game...is what we are here for. Lots of skill, lots of action, lots of experience coming into play, and a lot of learning value.

Overview
The game starts with Paranoia and Vezoz on left, both going veh. first. Vision and Maximus are on the right, with Vision taking the safe road going veh first, and Maximus, feeling a little risky, going air first. One thing no one else accounted for, was the numerous and plentiful islands of Oolok's, which supplied Maximus with M and E for the first part of the game. BTW...all players are playing with ARM commanders.

Maximus makes the first move by bombing Paranoia, resulting in a resource stall. However, Paranoia comes back with a vengence and destroys all of Maximus' mexes...most of his winds...and...his air plant with only 2 or 3 bombers...Very Nice Job!!!

While these two are duking it out on the top half of the map, Vezoz and Vision take time to build up some resources, then both mass skeets and start making crusys. Some of the most epic sea battles i've ever seen are b/w these guys...with their partners occasionally sending a few units down to help them out. Eventually, Paranoia and Maximus stick to the top as they have thier hands full with eachother, sending pels and crusys back and forth.

At one point, it seems that no one is gaining any ground. Attack ... defend ... attack ... defend. So...we are at somewhat of a stale mate here. Or are we? Of course this happens all the time...one player...decides to be a smart alec...and makes...A BERTHA!!! This single Bertha, even with repeated bombing attempts, widdles the opposing team's plants down to almost nothing, tipping the game entirely in one Team's favour.

P.S. This map can be d/l from Nemesis Network: http://www.nemesisnetwork.com/downloads.htm
I believe the creator of the map is N_Vaxon, and he did a very good job of balancing the map properly. d/l to watch this game...and definately to play your own.

THE GOODS
-good UC by all, excellent by some
-some really nice off-screen bombing
-great team play by all

THE BADS
Of course, everyone makes mistakes, but...this game was just WICKED!!!
