Red Planet Drop

The Hot Dust is a tabletop house, but strategy is strategy. StarCraft is the game I play when the miniatures are drying and I have forty-five minutes before pickup. This one got away from me.

I greed-expanded. The Zerg ling-bane flood arrived while my third was still a command center in the air. I held with tanks on the high ground, which felt clever for ninety seconds, then the creep spread under the tanks and the game was over.

Notes for next time, same as painting notes: stop adding. Two bases, react, then take the third. The ladder does not care that you “usually” have more time. Neither does a 40K round timer. Same muscle.
