Goo-ed Grief!

Oh dear, it looks like he had exactly the same plan. My Queen is gooed up, meaning I cant move for 3 turns or so.... However, my own Goo Spitter is sending more shots it to hopefully stop him getting to too many corpses.

The problem is that there are going to be a few more corpses around in a moment. My advanced Spikers have been overrun with Drones, and most of my troops are injured.

The current score is 8-9 and I dont think its going to end up in my favour....

Getting stuck in

My plan to trap the incoming Splatters worked ok. The first one got stuck in the goo, and my spikers took a few shots at it. Unfortunately the Drone took a bit also and has finished it off. Test orders show that the blast destroys the corpse of the Drone I had just killed for recycling. How annoying!

There is another incoming splatter, but the surviving Drone and spikers should sort it.

The middle area is getting a bit messy. I'm moving the queen on in that direction as next turn the floor is free for me to eat the corpses. I'm also gooing the other side of the middle area to prevent his queen from getting that way. Thats where a lot of the corpses are, so I want to deny him access. His Queen is in the same room that mine was waiting in, so its going to be a race to the corpses.

Spawn Vs Greys!

I didnt fare too well in my other Spawn Vs Greys match... Lets see how I get on against Dominatus

This one has pulled up Blast Radius with me deploying in the Green area.

There is a lot of cover for Spawn to flit through, so I think this is going to be another tough match.

With only 20 points to use I'm going to be vastly outnumbered.

I've decided to go for 2 Psychers, 2 Warpers, 6 Sentries and 2 Regens.

I've positioned one regen in the middle of the main building, with all my troops around it. The other regen is at the back of the map.

I'm hoping to warp any potential incoming waves then get the hell out of there before I get overrun. The Psychers and warpers are in the central room along with the psychers, while the snetries are all in the next room along (closer to the enemy) hopefully able to oput their guns to use.

I dont really hold much hope as a few splatters will just wipe me out..... I dont think guardians are all that useful agaisnt spawn since its mainly a hand-to-hand style of combat . I'm hoping that the extra firepower I can bring to bear instead of the Guardian will help more.

Fainting Goats

There isnt really much to say about this video clip......

How these animals ever survived any predator attacks I'll never know.

Incoming!!!!

My buzzer has spotted two Splatters coming my way round the outside of the building, towards my Queen and all the Spikers!

Time to move them clear! I've left a drone behind the destroyable doors, and am moving a drone to stand near the new hole the Queen has chewwed. I'm hoping that if they come in through the door in the Queens room then they will persue her, towards my waiting drone and the Goo ball thats about to explode there. The buzzer that spotted them did such a good job that I'm sending it out on a longer recon trip towards the other side of the map.

Advancing my drones out certainly seemed to help, as I have eaten one enemy drone, and have practically killed another, while only having one of mine slightly injured. The areas is covered with goo though, so it'll be a few turns until I can get my Queen anywhere nearby.

Im retreating my injured Drone back for recycling. I plan to lay an egg next turn, and then start chewing away the walls around the centre to give myselv a better view at any incoming troops. When the goo has cleared I want to get to the corpses to bolster my forces.

Where did he go?

Not much happened that turn.....

A few goo balls came towards me, so maybe he is hoping to attack this turn. I doubt it though.....

I'm going to make a few escape route with my Queen, and whizz a few buzzers around to get some intel on what is coming my way.

I'm advancing my Drones a little to see if there is anything to bite. They are getting hungry.
