CNC Generals: GLA - Defense Tactics

   The GLA is only vulnerable to rushes before your arms dealer is up because in order to stop almost all the rushes you need vehicles. Get your arms dealer up as soon as possible.

The Chinook Rush

All you really need is technical for this. How many depends on how many missile defenders he brings. Most likely you will need only 3 at the most.

The Humvee Rush

Scorpions w/rockets are your best defense here. The rockets track the humvee and all you need is two to kill it. Split up if it tries to avoid your tanks and if he deploys the men run them over.

The Comanche Rush

Hopefully you will notice he is making commences before it becomes a big problem. If he attacks with only one you should have enough rpg guys to take it out. Make a couple quads as soon as possible and get another arms dealer when you can to keep your tanks coming.

The Gattling/Flame Tank Rush

This is stopped the exact same way as the humvee rush. Rockets for your tanks help but are not as critical.

The Gattling Tank/Tank Hunter Rush

Not that big of a problem for the GLA. Tunnels will keep his rocket guys away and you cant take out both units with rocket upgrade scorpions.

The Bunker Rush

Take out the dozer as soon as possible. If he already has a bunker up suicide some scorpions to take his dozer out. Use rpg guys to keep his dozer from making bunkers in your base. You need 6-8 upgraded scorpion tanks to take out a bunker with 5 rocket guys and you will have heavy casualties. You can try using rpg guys to but you will need about 10 unless you mix rpg guys with tanks and attack. The best thing to do is take out the dozer though.

The Technical/Terrorist rush

Scorpions with rockets and a technical to take this out. Even if his terrorists reach their target the technical will still be a threat to your workers. It takes 4 terrorists to take your arms dealer down to a hole. If you lose your arms dealer to another GLA player early in the game he will be able to get very far ahead of you in tank production so sacrifice a tank or two on his terrorists as a last resort to save your arms dealer.

The Tunnel Rush

All you need is scorpions. If he does get the tunnel up just attack it with 3 or more upgraded scorpions.

The Double Arms Dealer Scorpion Rush

Use a technical terrorist rush to take out one of his arms dealers and then use your technical to run over his workers. Then simply out tank produce him. You can also try and send a few tanks around the side of his base early on although he will probably be able to stop that.
