Quick match turned out to be an ok game smile.gif
My best faction is definetly usa, but I could use some pointers still. I floated a bit of cash should I have gone dual WF once I got the money rolling?[attachmentid=128964]

I haven't watched the game but if you got alot of money as USA against a GLA, ofcourse the GLA player'll also have quite alot of money unless he's a newb. Its better if you build an airfield and fill it out with raptors.
Raptors re probably the best counter against a bb or buggies.

You tried to grab map control on the flanks with some forward tunnels but it didn't really work out for you. If you're going to be trying to get the flanks like that you basically have to build a forward rax and get the terror cars to deal with his dozers/fast vees. Otherwise any half decent USA player is going to decimate your map control pretty quickly. I didn't really ever feel that you were in a good position most of this game because you simply couldn't put any sustainable pressure on him because of your lack of map control. Without forward tunnels you're going to have to drive your units across the map to attack which just isn't the way GLA is supposed to be played. I was surprised you lasted as long as you did, with him even allowing you to tech up like that. Once you teched you didn't switch over to tech units quick enough. You built a 2nd AD and kept spamming little units like scorps and quads. As soon as USA gets S&D most pre-tech units like that are just going to be fodder for his vees because they just don't have the range and speed to compete. Your best bet with having no forward tunnels like that was to spam Gamma BBs and try to destroy as much of his base as possible. It's lame, I know, but when you're backed into a corner you sometimes have to lame yourself out. tongue.gif

You did a good job of stopping his flanking tunnels which is an important step in beating a Tox player. Clearing those tunnels freed you up to start to get aggressive against his base, but it seemed you were always a bit hesitant to attack him fully. With all his tunnels around your base destroyed and vees with S&D there really wasn't much stopping you from beginning to harass him in his own territory. The thing that happened later when you attacked is that he had worked himself up to a lvl 3 rebel ambush + rebuilt his CC which meant that you lost a lot of your vees every time you went in. You had decent unit mixtures though - I was glad to see some of USA's tanks being used along with avengers and tomahawks. Pure vee spam can be effective but it's not quite as entertaining to watch. tongue.gif Bit of cash floating later on - it really didn't make much of a difference though because you pretty much had him by that point. You played well but more aggression after you cleared his forward tunnels could have ended the game.

Summary: The Tox play in the game could use some work. Mostly a little more aggression form both players could have made for a more interesting game.
