All Out Chinese Bash!

So what would a bunch of homeschoolers do if they all played the same game? The game in case was Generals: Zero Hour, a real time strategy game which brings the elements of the latest in warfare and puts it at the finigertips of us, hungry and grateful gamers. When I use the term gamers, I use it gracefuly considring we were so bad at the game that most of our time was spent wondering where our units were. I had arranged this specific outing to tend to my wounds after having lost to a rather lopsided and unfair match in which I was mercilessly bullied into submission by the combined forces of the Kongs(the brother and sister team which were against me). The defeat was indeed too great for me to bear. The images of my dear precious men taken out by the cowardly sniper Jarmen Kell and my beauiful overload tanks blown up by the annoying suicide bombers Joshua had recklessly thrown at me were far too troubling as I was haunted everytime i saw my conquerors faces in school.

I had arranged for another battle. This time no quarter would be shown. I had pledged not to rest till my tanks had rolled over the crushed pride of Joshua and his sister as they had shot mine to pieces. There would be two sides, I would team up with a friend of longstanding, and the Kongs would be together. However, I still had my doubts as Joshua was indeed a formidable opponent. No matter, I could smell victory.

The day apporoached, we took our sides, me and matt chose the Nuke general because complete annihilation was our goal. Josh chose the infantry general whose soldiers devoured armour like locusts devour wheat and Rach chose the tank general whose tanks were near invincible. Soon, the battle began. Me and matt created our bases at a demonized pace so as to not be overrun with the formidable amounts of destruction the other team, aka the Kongs could capably and well throw at us. I built two overload tanks at a lighning pace along with a nuclear cannon to aid in my hopefuly quick destruction of Rachels base. I feared her. My tanks charged; however, I was doubtful if I would be able to overun her so early in the game. As soon as I approached her base, my fears then materialized in the form of an Emporer Overlord Tank. Scream! I pulled tanks into an immediate retreat as I ordered my all important nuke cannon to commence a storm of death upon the Emporer. My gamble paid off as death took the once invincible Emporer. My Overlords then cut a hasty swath across her base, neutralizing her nuclear power stations first, smashing her defences, then destoying the dangerous war factory which built the substance of my fears( Emporer Overlord). I then proceeded with the task of wiping out the rest of her base. She would not surrender. In the sky eight Migs swarmed and dropped napalm bombs upon my already battered tanks! They were not hers, Joshua had struck back at me in retaliation defiance for having the audacity and daring-do to attack his ally and sibling. My heart filled with despair then sudden joy as my tanks pushed through the burning flames and forged on to finish the burtal process of destruction. Finally, half the victory and a tremendous tactical advantage was gained.

While me and Rachel engaged in mortal warfare, Matthias and Joshua were engaged in an equally brutal but different form of warfare. Tactics that were completely different were used. Joshua had taken control of a tacticaly important building that stood guard between he and matt. Matthias had built up a horde of tanks outnumbering my sad force by a one to five ratio. He, whithout hesitation sent his tanks to make supposed quick work of the rocket defenders guarding the building, but to our shock, missiles zoomed out of the pagoda and hit his tank force with such effecient brute force and lethality that his once formidable tank force were no more. As Matthias screamed in the frustration posed by Joshua, I sent my Migs in to shower tactical nukes upon that annoying building. All in complete vain I realised as they were all shot down in quick order. Joshua's defences were impregnable.

I suddenly realised at the defeat of rachel that my tanks were now opposite of Joshua's base and my force faced an undefended side his defences. A hole? The map was a square, me taking the upper right, matt taking the upper left, Rach taking the lower right and Josh taking the lower left. Upon the dawn of inspiration, I sent my now larger force of Overlord tanks right next to his nuclear launching base, staying in wait for Matt's forces to overwhelm the tower of defiance Joshua relied upon in order for an coordinated attack in two directions. Finally, I could take no longer and my armoured tanks swept into Josh's base much to his despair. With matt congratulating me and sending a token force of tanks (tank actually), I proceeded to exhibit merciless effeciency in the destruction of Joshua. In his final attempt to salvage what was his, the already elite squad of missile defenders were called back from the pagoda to deal the buisness of death to my sterling tanks. No big deal, after all, my tanks had gattling cannons as well. I was soon proven wrong as the missles destroyed my lead elite tank. Utter shock, and anger burst in me as I demanded my tanks fire in retaliation upon the objects of my hate. They were no match. Victory then came.

Note, we're complete noobs at the game(well, at least I am) and this is a tremendous exageration of what happened. Thankyou.
