The Good Stuff-
The first Skirmish was when MarsGoliath
sent a Wraith to his opponent's base, killed nearly instantly by MarsJudicator's
Photon Cannons. "About 10 minutes later," recalls Judicator,
"I began my expantion. I would have started at the beginning, but it's
an island map, so I couldn't. Anyway, I sent a probe with 2 zealots down
to the vacant place east of my base." Goliath
then sent a Wraith exploring. He stumbled upon Judicator's
expansion. The wraith was killed by Photon Cannons quickly. "I remeber
when he began 'he'ing, which scared the crap out of me because I didn't
know if he had Nukes or not," Says Judicator.
After another 10 minutes or so, Judicator
sent a sqaudron* of Carriers against Goliath.
Goliath wasn't
ready, so Judicator
had to back down and wait until he had 3 squads* of Carriers. Unbeknownst
to him, Goliath was
building an expansion in
the northeast corner of the map. Judicator
stumbled upon this base with an observer, taunting Goliath
by giving advise. After another 20 minutes of building, they both were
ready. Goliath
was faced with 2 squads* of Carriers attacking his expansion, guarded by
BattleCruisers, Vultures, Firebats, and Goliaths, and another attacking
his primary base, now defunct due to lack of minerals/gas, and defence.
Judicator quickly
seized the upper base, but took his time with the expansion, which was
equipped with 2 nuclear silos, but no missile turrets. Goliath
didn't know how to launch nukes and was quickly destroyed after his defences
were totaled.
*[5 carriers, an Arbiter, and an Observer]
Advise for the public:
Judicator: "Use
one of my squads [noted above]. With cloaked carriers and 40 interceptors,
nothing can kill your arbiter."
Goliath: None
