Better to get vision then attack than attack blind and hope to be right

How could I have handled this better? It seems like I lost around my second or third turn and I can't really see how I could have handled it differently to come out ahead

You could consider a non-Bramble on your second turn.

Second turn things I like to do following the opening you used on this map:

1. Spawn a runner, boost if you want to keep it around, don't if you want to them to kill it with their runner, and move it to the hex below your heavy.

2. Spawn a soldier, boost it, move it to the hex between the wood posts.


If you chose to spawn a runner you would have seen their boosted runner center field and probably wouldn't move it to your heavy, but did something else to react to your new knowledge.

Either way you were probably going to lose your sniper. No biggy, doesn't mean you lose the game.

I recently played Harti! in the winter World Cup and probably played my best game ever and lost (well it was my first competitive ST match)

Any thoughts on what I could have done different

Don't give away snipers or let heavies get scrambled. You did fine most of the game, even with the early sniper mistake. You seemed to move your medics around a lot, you might be able to cut down on some movement to bank wits.

Could I have converted on my initial attack, or should I just not have attacked so soon?

I don't think you attacked too soon so much as you gave up too many units at once.

on a single spawn map like this, if they can kill 2 of your units and spawn 1 of their own, reliably, they'll eventually win just by sheer numbers. In that sense you either should have held off your attack until you could reinforce it, or regrouped when it was apparent that it was going to fail instead of pressing on and sacrificing two soldiers just to get the base to 1 HP with no backup.

in turn 3 you could have killed the runner before spawning your sniper. (blocks ttheir vision, he would not have seen you spawn the sniper)
or seeing as you decided to attack his 2hp runner and medic, you could have spawned a runner instead cause you had a soldier in range of his spawn which would tempt him to spawn a sniper which you could kill with a runner cause his medic is already dead.

overall, i dont think you did pretty bad. its just that the little choices you made had a very big impact.
i think a longer game would be better if you want to get more tips in improving your game.

hope this helped.
