Also a few recent replays can help with seeing common mistakes that can be ironed out

Yep, my GC username is rnarvin (r-n-a-r-v-i-n).

I'll be posting my replays soon

After a couple of random friendly's with necrocat it's obvious I need some practice as well lol

If you'd like to help me out too, that'd be fantastic. Start a game with me, my username is rnarvin, spelled out above.

EDIT: Here are some recent replays. I'm sure this will help you with what to teach me

Hi rnarvin,
I am much less qualified to help you with advice as Necrocat or Randy Dogz since I am a much weaker player myself (I am playing in Gifted league) but a few things came to mind watching the replays you posted (i recommend to put them in url tags for convenience. Did that for you in the quote above)

1) scouting. particularly,in the first two matches on foundry you didn't have enough overview since you didn't scout properly with runners.
2) ideally try to position your runners to kill an enemy runner (or another 1hp unit) - if that is the thing you are doing then dont forget to kill the other runner.
calculate your turns.
3) generally, If you move to attack a unit try to kill the unit in the same turn.
4) Be efficient. if a 3hp soldier is giving you troubles and a own heavy unit is nearby or a sniper who both can do 3hp damage on their own use one of them.
5) have a strategy. Ig is gives you troubles watch super titan replays (do this anyway). For example on foundry your sniper is important to control the center of the map. For him to do this you need to protect him from enemy runners (boost him and scout) and scouting is important. Have always in mind what your strategy is. Which is the most efficient way to the enemy base? Try to gain control and move this way.
6) think twice bevore you act. Fullstop. This is true for attacking, moving and unit building. If you have a threat nearby your base take particularly more time to think. It is crucial to build the most efficient unit to rach the enemy and to destroy the unit you attack.
7) in the last match there was one thing you did nicely. You atacked the northern wit point of the enemy with one boosted and one unboosted runner. Great plan. It took you several wits to build those units and to get them there. And then... You didn't put your danm runner on the wit point!!! All the moves before were wasted as you didn't do the one single move to finish this tactical task. It would have cost you one wit to make the final move (your runner stood there unused) and you would have had a 2 wit advantage versus your opponent from then on (until he would launch a counterattack) since you didn't do that he could continue to bug you where it hurt you most.

Your luck is that you understand the game and you know a lot already. Small improvemwnts in your gameplay will have dramatic efects from where you stand now and against the opponents you are playing now.
