Syrtis Major middle mass=fail

[Flynn]

I think the middle mass in Syrtis major is overrated. In the replay below, I was unable to secure the flanks because I used my com to push for the middle. I think the middle mass should only be pushed for once you have secured your flanks. You will notice that after I have reclaimed the mass I am ahead in score yet it is immaterial because the flanks have already been overrun by hordes of Manti.

true you should decide for one side and sent your commander and all your spam there

Thanks Shep

[ColonelSheppard]

i hope you notice the irony

[Flynn]

And there was me thinking you were actually being reasonable for a change

Syrtis as a great map supports a lot of viable strategys. Usually com to mid is standard - and its very fine. Just watch good syrtis replays and do the same !

[Flynn]

Thanks for your input BC_Blackheart but that is what I tried to do in this video and failed hard. I just didn't have the resources to dedicate to the flanks and the middle at the same time.

i am afraid of middle mass on syrtis, because my opponent may have more spam in mid then me, and i will just loose mass or get mass and die...
But you can get this mass with like 5 t1 artys, and reclaim it even without acu, middle mass is huge bonus and it is hard to win if you fight for it and lost
