Gah.

Gaaaah.

Okay, calmer now. I threw this one away twice.

I was in good shape, easily expanding while holding the early pressure. Then I made my first mistake, putting down a second robo facility instead of a robo bay-- just didn't notice until it finished. Delayed my tech and added a production facility I couldn't support, but I tried to make the best of it.

He was turtling hard behind a wall of tanks, so I expanded, which was fine. He got out vikings, which worried me a bit because my composition was very colossus-heavy. I tried to push in but couldn't make progress against the tanks, so I just expanded again. All good.

Then I just positioned my army a little too close to his tank line, and tried to push through the engagement. He had a stupid, ridiculous, crazy number of tanks and nothing else, which I wasn't expecting. So I stood in range and died.

Lessons

Don't charge into an enormous tank line, doofus. Take the map.
