Hi!
Thats the nature of the beast. Sometimes everything goes you're way and
you're opponent just goes down the tubes.
Its interesting that making a new army brings a two-fold point. One being
how the slann player will learn how to use his army, usualyy you suffer a
lot of losses in this process becuase you dont know exactly how to play
them. Once you get the hang of them, then its you're opponents turn (point
two) to learn how to adapt his tactics against you. Its a learning process
for both sides and very fun!
