I've been improving with the Eldar. I think the Teleporting Hero is best for my style.
Yes, send me the replay. Do you know where it is located? Should be under: \\My Documents\My Games\Dawn of War II
My e-mail is in my profile and I believe the files are about 1 meg.

Nice to hear you are getting more comfortable with the Eldar. It will make a good balanced attack with you playing Eldar, Kinketsu playing Tyranid and me playing orks. I will send the replay to you Saturday as I am out of town currently. Please send any good games you have to me as they occur. I really enjoy watching replays. It's like movie night. All I need to do is make the popcorn. LOL

I'll probably get this game in the very near future (payday) I really suck at RTS but I been trying to get back in to the swing of it again by playing HW a bit. Are you guys using the BCO vent or what?

Don't worry about skill. I am a noob. Say when and we can get some team games in. Lots of fun.
Fossil, what is your windows live name so I can add you to my friends list? I am AngryGeezer. Petrified is Ressev and Kinketsu(plays with us) is FunctorArity. I messed up when I made my windows live account and got stuck with AngryGeezer. Ugh.

That is the way it should be. I didn't realize you couldn't change your gamer tag once you picked it without paying a fee. Strange, but I guess it is a piracy thing????? I need to get my tag changed.

Good to see you on playing Dawn of War yesterday Fossil. We are going out to dinner with friends tonight but if you are playing a little later tonight I should be back for some games. I am shooting somewhere between 8:00 and 8:30 PST. Kinketsu will be on earlier in the evening.

I played a bit after you two logged off, wow I played a rank 59 guy and got waxed! I played a few more public matches but I was clearly the weak link. I need to find some tips and tactics to employ so I can at least make a good show of it.

Gamereplays is one of the best sites for Dawn of War II info. Not to mention, you can download recorded games and watch them. Download replays into your play back folder.
Example: C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Games\Dawn of War 2\Playback
Next, start up the game and view it through Game History.

Here's something I'd like to try sometime...lifted from another board.
If you are rolling a 3v3 team, the best thing to do is roll an all Tyranid team. Make sure two of you roll Hive Tyrant Heroes, while the third rolls Tunneler. Kick the shit out of the early units together to level up quickly, then work on some upgrades on them down the line. Hive Tyrants work well when they have their increased melee power, as well as the skill that lets them use their energy instead of their health when being attacked.
Tech up as quick as possible, hold about 1/3 to 1/2 of the nodes, with a slightly bigger focus on requisition over power...as power is easy to stockpile in the game after you pop up a defensive structure and three generators. Turtle hard (Spore Mines are cheap friends that do hella damage for turtling teams), and once you've teched up, pump out Carnifax units. Supply them with Thornback, and it's game over for the other team. I came back in a VCP match from 81-500 with a 3v3 Tyranid team, and we won the match with those Carnifax units. They'll eat through any Hero, regardless of level, and you'll be able to keep defense on two VCPs with no problem.
The end.

I really enjoyed our games last night Fossil. Tyranid tunneling for troop deployment looks promising. There are an incredible amount of tactics to be explored in this game. I don't think the surface has been scratched. I need to talk to Bloody so we can get a Vent Channel instead of playing "other". LOL

Old Bugger? Are you talking about Dawn of War II or the original Dawn of War? Dawn of War II has only been out a short time and their is so much to learn and try in the multiplayer matches. We would love to have you join us. We play every night. I will send a friend request out.
