Last person to give me problems with supply trucks was rans but hes died a few months ago and i wasnt able to use this strat against him. But here it is against an above average china. I didnt send the terrorist to their exact positon because i knew what he was going to do |

I remember me not having any workers when I played vs ub3r LaMe because of the trucks...so I used a little different bo and was more cautious without losing workers and it was much easier

np man. Some more will probably come soon about micro n just general tips but i gota get around 2 writing it 
these are sure to help My GLA 
This is by no means a full guide to GvC. It is not going to feature all feasible build orders or all adaptions or anything like that. Nor will it be prettily arranged because i am incapable of using the coding of this site. This is going to be split into two parts, my favoured build orders and some general tips. The tips will be posted at some point in the near future as a seperate topic.
Build Orders.
GvC build orders need to be designed taking into account the following things.
- They need to provide a basis for expansion, at least one expansive tunnel is advantageous.
- They need to be stable against a fast gat/th combo
- They need to provide sufficent income to compete with the china
- You need to be able to adapt them to put sufficent pressure on your opponent
- It is preferable that you can use your build order to defeat a flank wf strat.
- Suseptability to supply truck rush
The truth is no build order, at least that i have found has ticked all the boxes here. So here are some of my favoured build orders, they are not neccesarily the best as other players have excelled based on other stratergies but i have found these succesful.
3 Base Tunnel Dual Supply
I will start with the most stable of all the build orders i use. I like to use this vs opponents that are very unpredictable but tend to be agressive, or those which i expect to play a fast gat th or flank wf build order. The advantages of this build order are that you have 3 base tunnels to defend against a gat th and can get your tunnels up in time to stop a supply truck rush.
Build order
1st worker - Barracks - que 2 or 3 terrorists which you send to middle and or flanks.
2nd worker - Main supply (after completion makes Arms Dealer)
Following this you need to make the central tunnel asap infront of your supply. Then you build your second supply, and the two half flank tunnels as shown in replay (i hope). Build your arms dealer with worker from main supply.
This build order is very solid however it doesnt allow you to put a great amount of pressure upon your opponents. I like to send a worker (as soon as available) from my base to my oil and one rpg (from nearest tunnel) to garison the bunker there. I build the tunnel as soon as i have sufficent spare money. I also send an rpg to the bunker on the other flank from the nearest tunnel. I make a tech as my first unit and fill it with the remaining 4 rpgs and one worker. I will then try to harras my opponent with this and build an expansion tunnel. From here on its up to you. I have attached a replay.
Dual Oil Grab Single Supply
This has become my favourite GvC stratergy and is probably the best overall (imo). Your success in grabbing at least one oil however is crucial. The build order is relatively stable however your lack of cash flow at the very start can leave you vulnerable to a large/fast gat th. It is very effective against a middle supply b0 as you can pressure them heavily early on vastly reducing their cash flow.
Im not going to go thru the build order instead plz just watch one (or several) of the replays. I appologise if any of these are not of the correct build order.
Dual Middle Tunnel One base tunnel, Dual Supply
A very effective stratergy that relies on you maintaining a presence in the middle of the map. It is particuarly effective (if you can get ur tunnels up) against a middle supply stratergy. You need to stop the china from spamming straight through the middle and use this time to build tunnels in your base. The stratergy gives you plenty of scope to be agressive if that is required. This build order is however weak against a flank wf and can be troublesome vs a wf/af combo. The main points for this build order is to be as agressive as possible and try to hold your position in the middle. If you loose one flank tunnel you need to ensure you defend against any gats/flamers that may come that way with a scorpian.
Dual Supply Dual Oil Grab.
This can be done either as shown below or by tweaking the placement of your tunnels to mirror that of the stratergy shown above. The advantage of that is that you can pressure your opponent more easily however you may find you loose one oil doing so (and are more likely to loose both in a disaster situation). This build order is very risky and leaves your workers quite vulnerable. I only normally use it from the top spot as i can protect my workers better there by placing my supply as shown in the replay. You may be under the kosh early on using this stratergy however once you reach mid game with the cash boost of the oils and 2 supplys you will be in a very strong position.
I realise that the build order is only the start of the struggle and when i get the time i will produce a set of tips that can be used in certain situations to your advantage. Hope you found this useful. I will give some general tips on adaption in the next article however you will need to remember that you need to adapt in different ways with different build orders. Practice and experience is the key.
