Feels bad to lose this one because I made a misclick in the move planner. 18:20 On day 13 what happened was I had a solid wall in the move planner but I wanted to make changes to the left side of the map because i wanted to put pressure on the left com tower. So i refreshed the move planner and redid all the moves again on the right side but I accidentally swapped the full hp infantry and the 6 hp infantry. The full hp infantry was suppose to be in front of the 4 hp arty and the 6 hp infantry in the woods. This would require a very high luck roll from von bolt to kill it with a tank. I dont know if mangs would have taken it because if it failed, he loses 2 tanks for free. Overall i think the bigger mistake was just leaving that rocket there instead of moving it 1 space down. Woulda avoided the whole problem :(

@izanagi352111 ай бұрын
I have to disagree with the com towers because if i focus to much on the sides, its to easy for mangs to go straight through the middle and airport lock me. Even though im grit, i still need air units. Also he can then shift to the 1 base side. My plan was to take the middle then shift to the sides and i was in the process of doing that. Unfortunately i made a mistake with the infantry wall.

Spoilers ahead : Man, even when he made the "bait" for Ex Machina, I knew that the next turn would rock And lets all face it, it wasn't a good bait, the fighter and AA were in range, so really Izanagi gave a Bomber and a Figher of his own on a silver platter to Mangs, a good Missle/Meteor/Machina bait shouldn't be in danger, I mean, they are bait for godsake

Wow, based on those early tank losses, I did not expect you to win. Just goes to show how quickly the tables can turn in high funds with a good turn or two.

@magicalcapi914811 ай бұрын
Great plays from both, for me, it highlights why I don't like using or playing against Grit: - Snowball CO, if you're winning, you'll do greater, if you're losing, it'll be hard to recover - Although, yes, you need to vary a few units, he'll still have to use wall strategies - Missile-chan still very situational. Another match, another missile-chan that does nothing... I wish Grit had -10% defence on his units instead of -10% attack. IMO that's more what we intuitively expect from a "sniper" CO and would open to some direct counter-attacks from Grit.

What a great game! Spoilers: I'm not gonna write another disertation about how Grit is overraed, because you just outplayed izanagi. To be honest he had ALL the means to deny your comm towers, but he didn't and you were able to recognize this problem and played accordingly. Securing the comm tower early was genius, and capturing the other side comm tower was even better. Also this is what I'm saying tho, you rush Grit just like this, except with cheaper units, tankfully you had the funds to pay for the stronger units, but in any other map Grit's artilery can only attack one target at a time, and they can't move and shoot, so rushing like this and threatening several fronts is the best way to do it. So congratulations Mangs, this was an amazing display!

The stupid part is that it would take a modest amount of effort to correct the issues. The Egg Cup 2 is getting held up because there are people sitting around who aren't starting their games, forgot to report the match outcomes, aren't reporting their opponent for failing to respond to a match, or both participants haven't been on the site for months. If he would just check up on them once a week to make sure the matches are happening then everything would proceed smoothly.

On day 10 you could've saved the neo tank by taking your 2 north tanks and killing the infantry, but maybe losing 3 units to save a neo is less valuable on count. Well actually you sacked them into his main wall anyway so maybe popping the infantry and an arty just out of range would've been the better play
