Started with Incisor (90%), Blitz (7%), Rascal (3%).

Where those units first fight, in 30 games with kill data: in the middle 50%, on their own side 43%, in the enemy base 7%.

Those units destroy a typical 3,323 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Incisor raid by 6:48

  1. Open standard Bot Lab and geo as usual for Geo.
  2. Finish early Geothermal Powerplant on schedule.
  3. Add a Vehicle Plant for Incisor light tanks.
  4. Send Incisor to skirmish in middle or on your own side.
  5. Reclaim the Vehicle Plant and shift back to Sheldon/Arbiter for front.
