Heh, I was just killing time on GL, looking for a good game. Took up Zhou Yu on his open challenge and had a great game that must have taken about an hour or more. I find it really hard to get games that last that long nowadays. Either I get p*wned or I do the p*wning...(sadly it's more of the former nowadays :( )
It was a good game purely because for so much of the opening moves, you had the impression that one wrong move would cost you the game.
Started off with same side turts - He had a gold turt with 1 knight, wisp, muddie, 2 scouts, frosty, furgie and LW. I was in a pretty standard grey turt.
The first 10 moves or so, it was apparent he was just going to sit there and wait for me to come piecemeal into that turt and grind up my units into little chunks. So I took the opportunity to blast his LW with my DMW...very slowly :). Without a BW, he couldn't stop it, then it would just be matter of time before my dmw would have a clear shot at his cleric.
He got impatient by then and rushed my form with a knight and muddie but let his scouts too far back. 2 Knights and my LW made short work of his knight, while my chanty froze the muddie. He then moved up the wisp which ,well, died a quick death. Then he moved up his frosty to freeze my LW. Unfortunately a knight rush into his territory with my scout backup soon resulted with a pretty beat up frosty.
At which point, it was pretty much a clean up game though he did ask me for a draw. :rolleyes:

Sorry, Zhou, but if you had asked nicely, I might have considered it. Then again, considering the account I was playing on was a clan account, maybe not.
Anyway, a good game and if you want a rematch, just let me know.
