Total Recall

Submitted by E_tardation

This is a pretty fun strategy to use in no rush allied team games. It is particularly useful in shared bases maps. It involves the ever popular Arbiter/Carrier/Observer combo, but w/a slight twist & requires a bit of smart micro management. I'll dispense w/the usual build orders since most people outta know how to get to air as quickly as possible without forgetting to first build a decent defense for your base. (many of the other strategies posted have the build orders specified anyways...) OK, here we go...after amassing a good amount of fully upgraded carriers, arbiters & observers (about 7-12 carriers, 7-12 arbiters & as many observers as u can pump out), asign each arbiter a specific hotkey ID, amass ur carriers in a tight formation (& upgraded reavers underneath them if u have the resources to make them - *note if u do use reavers remember to assign them all to a single hotkey ID so that u can easily select them & make scarabs for them to attack with), & then asign a few observers (3-as many as u can) to follow each arbiter unit. MAKE SURE THE ARBITERS EACH HAVE AT LEAST 150 ENERGY POINTS or the RECALL will not be ready to use! (duh) After u've done all that begin sending each Arbiter over to the enemies' bases from several different points, trying as best as possible to avoid very high concentrations of cannon/turret/spore defenses. The observers that were assigned to follow each Arbiter will draw some enemy fire away from ur Arbiter just enuff so as to allow them to infiltrate the enemies' bases. Once the Arbiters r through & placed over the enemies' main buildings or min resources, use the first assigned Arbiter Hotkey (1-0) & Recall ur carriers/reavers over to the other side & begin to wreak havok, BUT DON'T WANDER OFF & SCATTER UR FORCES or this strategy will not work to its full potential! Try to coordinate ur attack w/ur ally so that ur enemies r confused w/multiple points that they have to defend. The enemy will obviously send their units over to take on ur carriers (they'll have to send alot of them too which will leave other areas of their base vulnerable to attack, but by then u would have done some major damage to their min/gas gathering capabilities & taken out some main buildings as well w/ur reavers (*REMEMBER TO CONTINUE TO MAKING SCARABS FOR YOUR REAVERS TO ATTACK by using the hotkey+R combo). Once the enemy forces r coming in like crazy, all u have to do is RECALL ur attack force to another area of the enemies' bases & begin to wreak havok over there! & so on & so on...By the time the enemy even knows what hit 'em u will have crippled them so badly that u & ur ally can now take ur sweet ass time & enjoy polishing the enemy units off one by one...remember tho, u have to rub it in at least a little while u'r doing it just to piss them off! This is not the quickest way to a win but it's one of the most fun...after all, what good is winning if u can't laugh at ur enemies while u'r doing it??? >=P

CreepColony's Opinion: This can or cannot work, and is kinda risky.
