No signs yet....

Nothing is showing up on my Scanner yet, so the advance continues.

My AI is making headway on the demolition, but there is quite a lot still to go. I've decided to advance the MT on the left hand side a little. Hopefully he wont expect to come face to face with anyone.

Post-Deployment

Marines it is. I've set-up 4 grenadiers, 2 snipers, 5 grunts, 2 medics and an HQ. They're set up into three teams going initially three ways: a sniper, a grunt, a grenadier and a medic (or a grenadier element and a sniper element with the grunt switch into a medic) are trying to deploy the sniper into the northwestern building. Two grunts and two grenadiers (or two grenadier elements) will attempt to take control of the central building. Finally, a sniper, a grenadier and two grunts (or a sniper element and a grenadier element) will set the sniper up at the garden next to my deployment zone. This leaves one medic standing near the HQ waiting for something to do. Since I most often lose marine games due to my medics buying it and my other troops being near dead, I wish to keep at least one of them safe.

My first objective, besides advancing and taking control of some of the buildings, is finding out which race my opponent has deployed. If he is spawn, my force would be far too spread out deployed according to my initial plan. Otherwise it should be a fairly solid deployment.

Pre-Deployment

The game drawn for my game against GregHolg was signs. This map had been grounds for my first ever league victory so I feel a bit optimistic about it. Last time I had deployed machina and might do it again since the center building seems like an ideal scanner position. I wouldn't take spawn on this map since there isn't much room to sneak around. The presence of low walls, trees and lots of destructable buildings would also suit marines well. Greys I won't even consider since I'm fed up deploying them right now.

There's also a fair bit of terrain between my deployment zone and the enemy's so I probably won't have to worry about missiles hitting me too soon. There are also fairly clear lanes of fire so I'm not terribly worried about being rushed by spawn. That said, my opponent could be any of four races, so I'll prepare for that.

Next up, deployment.
