Failed attempt at quick win by France player against good Russian counter. Seems russian player saw forward barracks coming and quickly countered with mass conscripts and back houses for healing. See who's micro wins out in the intense matchup!
I wonder what tipped off russia to the frax strat? Perhaps the red man walking through his base at 2 min?
This was a horrible attempt by the france player. The only reason it wasn't over in 5 min is he was able to send his wounded poliu to attack the gold mine which created a slight lull in the russian steamroller (no use of actual spell of course.)
Why, why would you try this on russia?
Russia did well except his houses could have been built earlier and in better spots. Good job keeping the citz going back for gold while microing.
I got a little excited when I saw that cit coming up to the barracks, I thought it was going to turn into a revolutionary and blow it up. That would have been funny, but unnecessary.
Another problem with the strat is France banked everything on it. Once started he could not afford to lose that barracks. So there was no way to cut his losses and switch strat. He must have known by 3-4 min he was dead. He was hardly on equal terms after this failed, he had no backup (fault of this strat, not the gameplay.)
Additional Comments:
Very desperate attempt by bad player. BTW RTE, how do you get other people to give you their recorded games?

m1st1k shouldnt have put his citizen in the middle of russia's base. that let russia kno somthing was up. good micro, m1st1k's micro wasnt as good, as he microed his units just barley before they died. smart idea to rape a goldmine with m1st1k's microed units. i enjoyed watching this game. it was very fun to watch much micro !
since it was a frak, apolon's eco was dead, so i would start to belive apolon is dead after having his rax destroyed. he put up a v good fight.

Russia actually had a barracks up before France, which I found funny. France's villy accidentally stumbling onto Russia's base and Russia immediately realizing what was up saved him. The battle was intense for a bit, but once those houses were up France was done. France did well to counter the armored cars with AT, but he was down and he knew it. He was outnumbered.
Additional Comments:
I found it funny that France always managed to slip a villy out and try to rebuild when attacked. The second time, however, the settlement didn't finish building before Russia had totaled his secondary base.
