Game result 2 - 1 to Orange.
3 Spectacular games all well played.
Game 1 - Gromz Nids and Orange Orks - Green Tooth Jungle
Started off very close with Gromz sending those very annoying rippers around to all of the points but Orange held them off well. Gromz managed to quickly tech and soon found his commander in a mosh of sluggas and proxy mines, it was looking grim but spore mines to the rescue! Two squads plus his own commander down, totally worth it for the lols. A very frustrating combination of spore mines and ag warriors kept Orange at bay until the last 30 points where by Orange nearly stopped the bleed but Gromz suicided his warriors into the capping Mekboy losing everything but holding the point long enough to secure the victory.
Game 2 - Gromz Nids and Orange Nids - Green Tooth Gorge
It was a Ravener mirror match, something that I absolutely loathe.
It started off with Gromz capping points but Orange had other plans and started harrasing early, off rollout he had the hurt on Gromz's commander but he still secured most of the points he needed to hold. Two ripper squads from each player were having a field day capping any and every point they could on the map. Orange managed a quick squad of warriors which was promptly answered by spore mines however this time the commander was spared. Orange kept going with the ag warriors and Gromz built a single warrior squad and was starting to churn out zoanthropes, however he needed to play attention to these fragile pieces of a** and quickly lost them to the fury of ag warriors, Orange pressed this advantage and started to dominate all power on the map, from this point it was gg unless Gromz could produce a carnifex, then Orange walked one of his own into Gromz's base and it was all over.
Game 3 - Gromz Eldar and Orange Nids - Swivel Frontier
Fearing another frustrating Ravener mirror Gromz opted for the eldar warlock in the third game, it didn't pay off.
This game started off very close with Orange again quick to harras the power but it was well protected by Gromz who wanted a quick tech. There was lots of fighting going on in the early stages of this game, mainly guardians vs rippers in which rippers were superior but no clear dominance was established. Then the warriors entered the battlefield and all of a sudden Gromz was in Orange's turf, and he laid down the smack, all over Gromz's face, his only hope being effective use of a falcon, but even better use of zoanthropes quickly stopped any hope off this, it was gg from the beginning and overall three good games.
Again well played Orange and I hope to not play you again in the near future, or not until I get more that 10 head to head games in, and not counting games that have the number 13 in the world dominating me with Orks.
GG and Cheers, Gromzy.
