alright, thats all my bros at the table with melvyn's gf in the center.
yeah, we were preparing for a few rounds of StarCraft.
shot this while martin was installing the neccessary stuff on my com.
the other pictures above. well. that chess set is, hmm, let me see.
marcus's birthday present, he was in sec school back then.
its more than 10 years old already. dad bought it for him.
he and melvyn were in the school chess team, bought it so they could practice too.
ok, so we had a few matches.
martin & i teamed up against the both of them for the first round.
sadly, he was flanked by them, their starting bases were beside and below him.
so yeah, he died less than 10 mins into the game.
so it was left with me, managed to hold off for 30 mins.
they eventually broke through the front defense with air power, zerg + protoss, mad.
2nd round it was free for all, melvyn, marcus and i.
marcus dropped out after a while, lappy went low on batt.
defeated melvyn shortly after. 3rd round, same, free for all, 3 of us.
marcus died first, melvyn kept sending troops to "disturb" him.
died after a while. than martin came home.
so we restarted. me & mel vs them, martin nearly died at the start.
in the end, he single handedly kill me and mel.
5th and last round, me and martin vs them.
martin was well, bombarded like mad. he played air, while i did ground.
so range attack from him, and for me, it was melee.
had to help him as they kept throwing what they had at him.
he started "disturbing" them, one by one.
melvyn had observers planted around the map, all over.
so he was like, watch your south, coming in fast, looks like birds.
short while later, marcus' drone's were attacked. then he flew away.
all this while i was relaxing, building and gathering resources.
so martin did his sorties, pranked them, kept them busy while we grew stronger.
then melvyn decided to attack full force with marcus on martin.
what they didn't count on, was the troops i had in martin's base haha.
stealth ground units plus martin's super long ranged birds.
that plus the extra troops i threw in from my main base. flanked them.
counter attacked, we managed to kill melvyn. destroyed all his production buildings.
so he was left with the food supplies and a few carriers.
marcus got it shortly after. he was on defensive already. lost 90% of my army.
had to rebuild, so we took time. i guess the game was about 40 mins.
quite fun. we spent nearly 3 hrs gaming earlier on.
anyway, hope he comes back again. 4 people, quite fun to play 2 on 2.
