I don't remember the game very well either(school swumpt). Though I don't remember dying at all during the strat. How I know this? I took SS's However, it was you who died once by your scav(perhaps getting both matches confused.
I hope these SS's can show up some light for you...

Battle of the Stratkings!
This was another pacman game with Jens. It was 4 player sync off game on PacMan, but I was the only one who joined the game. About half-way through the game I decided to record the battle.
Map: Citadels Rules: 3 Lives, Barracks and Com Towers on
I was bored, so I just started a random strat on citadels. I was just sitting and looking at my rec and watching my scavs going around, when all of a sudden, it says a guy named Megatron joined. At first I thought it was Hyper, then I realized what time it was, and decided otherwise. So I said hello, and he said hi, and we exchanged some small talk for about 5 minutes. Then I got to work. I had my constructor follow me to the pits on the ends and build silos whilst I pumped out 4 more scavs to add to my 2 already in action. I then had my rec build an armory and MUF as scrap allowed, and moved to the second pit in the middle. I had my rig build another silo, and sent it home. At home base, I built 4 towers at each entrance, and then got my offensive troops, which I had been building the whole time (at this point, 3 scouts, 3 tanks) and went hunting.
I ran into a lone fighter in the middle of the map, and totalled it. Since a pilot ejected, I figured: "Eh, another noob stratter..." and headed towards his base. I went east, and headed towards the main pass, only to find a minefield blocking there. A few seconds later, howie mortars started dropping. This startled me, and I pulled back. Back in the middle, I brought 4 more offensive units over to me, and tried again, going for the other pass. I found 3 GT's there, and big surprise, they had blasts. I rushed em, and lost 4 units before they dropped. I headed into the base, and found myself looking down the barrels of 5 turrets and 3 golems. At this point I decided to pull back, but my exit was cut off by a squad of tanks and fighters. My troops were mauled, and I got ejected. Megatron then said "Thanks for all the scrap."
I landed and got steam-rolled by one of my scavs >.<... I respawned and started building up again. I had my MUF build 5 tanks again, and rec build 5 razors. But this time, I waited, and had 6 howies come along. Meanwhile, I had my rig building barracks. I headed to the middle, and used the last of my scrap to build a small reload/repair zone, then headed over to his base. To my surprise, there was no greeting committee. I set up my howies, and bombarded the gt's and turrets to nothing, then destroyed the walkers. Still no response. I headed farther in, and got all the way to the main area of his base before getting ambushed by a team of light tanks and tanks. I pulled back and called my fighting units over. They destroyed the enemies quickly and I had them hit the rec, whilst my howies destroyed the MUF. I then trashed his armory and all the scavs running around. At this point, I expected him to leave and say gg, but he didn't. All he said during this was "Oh darn, I lost my base." It was only then that I noticed there were multiple red signals behind MY base up on the plateau.
A few seconds later, my rec came under attack, and based on the way it was taking damage (medium amounts at regular intervals) I knew it was howies. I sprinted back to base, with my offensive units following. But I got there too late. He destroyed my rec, and my MUF barely got away. My armory was totalled as was most of my base. My rig survived (thank god). I sent my units up the cliff (using the ramps outside of my base) and they found 3 tanks and 7 howies. They exterminated the intruders and returned. I set up my MUF and rebuilt my lost troops. I then spent the next 20 minutes chasing down a team of 3 tanks, one of which had sps (probably megatron himself). After I finally blew the tanks, I followed the Player pilot, and killed him. Luckily it was near his respawn point, so I killed him again, and one more time.
That was one hell of a game, I had no idea he would pull it. Btw, does anyone know who megatron is???

Well, someone by the name of Megatron joined the forums recently. If he is a noob to online playing, he's a noob with creative understanding of multiplayer.
Seriously hyper, I thought he was you, cause he flew a lot like you did, and had reaction time that was even faster than yours. Makes me wonder if Jenns finally grew balls and got a good name... Well, keep an eye out for him, he seems to be pretty decent (or his first match with me was one hell of a fluke)
Hehehehe... Looks like poor little Cerberus didn't like the treatment I gave him... Don't worry, Megatron will ease your pain of passing with a few SPs up your tailpipe and a blast cannon down your barrel... As for the rest of you, don't listen to little Cerb, he is just stinging from the feeling of no longer being anywhere near the top of the heap...
ALL HAIL MEGATRON, NEW LEADER OF THE DESCEPTICONS!!!

Hate to burst your bubble Mega, but Cerby is nowhere near the top of the barrel. I admit, for you to be here for not long and already be a challenge to him is interesting, but there are players here that are 10x stronger. I'll be sure to pay you a visit
With a couple of Mortars up your exhaust pipe
WTF?! You say his reaction time is faster?! I no I'm not the best but come on!
Hyper, if I am nowhere near the top, then why are you the only one who can beat me on a regular basis? And as for little descepticon over there, he just knows how to be tactical.
But yeah, he does react faster than you, and when I told him that in game, he said two words: "Fury Ambush".
Try not to get offended hyper, cause I doubt that anyone is 10x better. Maybe 2, 3 max, but I am not pathetic enough to be 10x weaker than anyone. I have never lost with a 10-1 margin.
To clarify Mr Hyperoverconfident, I said cerby is near the top because under a number of aliases, I watched around 15 strtats with a number of different players, and recorded IP's to make sure that they were different players. I then analyzed their tactical abilities, and decided that out of almost all of them, Cerberus was the only one who really used tactics, since the rest of them flew so much solo, and he/she/it was one of the few that used support units. I also watched your fights, and have found a few weaknesses as well. Nothing I can exploit yet (since you were so kind as to point out I am new), but one day, you will fall oh Stratprince (you guys have really weird names). And you are welcome to try and put a mortar up my tailpipe. I will return the favor by farting out a prox mine in your face.
As for you cerberus, less talk, more kill. I am waiting for you, same time as when we last fought, every day. Unless you are too chicken for a rematch, cut the crap and put some shells where your mouth is.

You've been watching me?! On YouTube?! Ok, perhaps I was acting a tad overconfident, but you gotta realize my reason(you being new). How do you know that alias?(StratPrince).
Hehe... yeah, me being new throws a lot of guys off (I am new btw), but as for sir stratprince, you have that alias up on a number of previous posts, most of them against this jenns loser (who was my first victim btw). That fool is sad, he uses such pathetic tactics, I bet even that weakling lindsaysdad could defeat him (my second victim). As for youtube, how do you think I found this place to start with? Blame mr spock and his website.
He may be smarter than the average noob, but he still needs to work on his fighting skills.
Cerberus vs Megatron
Map: Canyon Madness Lives: 4 Barracks and Com Sat: On Sniper: On
The Rematch!
I won't lie. This one got real ugly real fast. I started in the south end of the map, and immediately headed north-east after gathering the little scrap near my start point. I deployed in the south-eastern corner of the map, and started to build up. I had my rig set up GT's at the 4 entrances (3 at the biggies and 2 at each of the smaller ones) and then built a supply and a hangar. While this was going on, I had my rec and MUF building offensive units like there was no tomorrow. Once I had 6 or 7 attack units with me, I got my rig and headed towards the center.
Somewhere along this time, I started seeing Mega's scavs. I ignored them, and built a pair of silos down in the center valley. I had my radar on map-view, and saw that there was some movement near my base. I had a scout-tank pair set on guard duty near each of those silos, and then grabbed my last pair of scouts and headed back to base. I ran into an unguarded constructor and totalled it. This got some profanity from Mega, but I ignored it and returned home. There I re-armed with dual sps, and built the last 3 offensive units. By now I had a com tower, so I went into satellite mode, and found his base. I headed there asap.
Upon reaching the middle, I ran into mega and an army of tanks and fighters. I huge dog-fight ensued, in which both mega and I were blown. No one won that one. When I landed, there was a heavily damaged fighter flying away, and all I had left was a tank at red. I hopped in it, and limped home. My scavs (by now I had 10 of them) were out in force gathering, which was fine by me, and my scrap reserve was getting pretty big. So I built up my offense again, and had them mostly on guard duty whilst I repaired and reloaded my ride.
For the next phase, I decided to use a different tactic. I had my MUF build a half dozen howies (after building 2 barracks) and set out on a different route to his base. I changed into a scout for scouting purposes (lame pun, you can shoot me later) and upon arrival, found a few barracks, and a solar power plant, but no base. I was going WTF!?!?!?!?!?! and turned my howies back home. I started running around the map, and found that the little turd had changed base locations on me (smart little sucker). I had my offense and howies move towards his base, but upon satellite recon, found it devoid of attackers, and much of anything other than GT's, a few turrets, and his base units. There were no tanks, fighters, nothing...
I was totally confused, but oh well. My howies arrived literally a few minutes later (so... accursedly... slow...). The base bombardment began, and with 6 howies, well, it was fast. The rec and MUF started to run, as did the armory, so I sent my offensive units after them. Still no sign of Mega... I was starting to get annoyed by it. I left my howies behind, set on destroy everything, and started running around. At this point, I noticed that signals were near my base, so I figured, hey that must be mega. Since we traded bases before, I was sure he was going to try it again. I ran towards the signals, since I knew I was a better dogfighter, figured I could take him out, and then trash his attackers, and have enough ammo left over to blow a few howies. Boy was I in for a surprise.
I forgot the one thing that the CCA had over the NSDF. Blasts. I ran after him, and on route, ran into 4 turrets, deployed, facing the direction of his base (essentially where I was coming from), ALL ARMED WITH DUAL BLASTS!!! They blew my tank in about 2 seconds flat, and I went flying. I landed near my base, and built a new tank, and re-armed it. At this point, I got the message that my tanks and scouts had done their jobs, and that his rec, MUF and armory were no more. I also heard my howies finish up their job, so his base was gone. I had my offensive troops come back, but I still had signals. They were slow moving, so my alarm should have gone off then and there, but it didn't. I went out to meet em, and my tank exploded in less than a second. I had no idea what had just happened, but when my GTs started getting demolished, I knew. That SOB had a team of 10 golems... (>.<). My defenses were exterminated in about 4 seconds, and I barely had time to order my rec, MUF and armory to run. But it was too late. My rec was destroyed by the combined blasts of 4 golems, and my armory was also destroyed. My MUF got away, as did my rig (which was on the other end of the map), but I forgot about my offensive units. They arrived about 30 seconds later, and hit the back end of the golem column. They destroyed 4 of his golems, but the other 6 annihilated my poor scouts and tanks. My howies were already running away (managed to save them), but it was already over.
I landed a few seconds later, and started to hop-skip out of there. My remaining gts, power plants, and supply and hanger were destroyed, as were the 3 scavs in my base. My MUF got to my rig, and my howies all got back to his old base, and then the cat and mouse started, because what I didn't know was that I missed his constructor and a few scavs. He set up shop in my old base (I only knew this cause of a nav I had in a geyser), and he reloaded and repaired all of his golems, using the scrap that had been my base and my units (ARGH!!!). I had my MUF deploy, and started mining his base and his rec and MUF scrap. I then had my 7 remaining scavs hide in a corner, and started pumping out bombers. Once I had 6 of them, I got into one, and had the other 5 follow me back to my old base. Upon reaching it, I ordered them to guard my posterior, and started attacking his walkers from 350m out. He came out to kill me, and got 10 rocket bombs shoved up his v-thrusters. He ejected, and his walkers all started moving towards us. I sent my bombers on sui runs, and to credit them, they blew all but 2 walkers. I destroyed the survivors, and then blew his rig. I ran the SOB over when he landed, and then destroyed as many scavs as I had ammo for. I sniped the remaining ones, and then flew back to base to reload and get a tank.
I flew to his spawn point, and he wasn't there, so I started building light tanks, and had them on hunt, to flush him out. I stayed in the middle of the map, waiting. And my patience was rewarded when I lost one. I flew over to where it was, just as he was landing near it. I hit him with 3 stabber rounds, and he died. I had mined his spawn point, so soon after that, I had 6 mines disappear, and he lost another life. I got there just in time to run him over and waste his last life.
He then left.
Was a hell of a match... I must give him credit for using the golem march to annihilate my base, and those 4 turrets with blasts (which I destroyed with my howies while I was waiting for him to appear) facing his base was ingenious. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and all my malice towards that bugga are gone.
