Mauser artillery

Armada Geo build order · Supreme Isthmus

Geo rushes an Advanced Vehicle Plant and brings Mauser artillery to the middle from around 5:32, well ahead of the normal T2 unit timing, shelling the front before shifting into Starlights and Jaguars.

THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • MauserT2 vehicle artillery from 5:30 · 3% of role by thenFrom the Advanced Vehicle Plant. Only 3% of Geo games have it by then; others who build it get it around 8:15
  • Advanced Vehicle PlantAdvanced Vehicle Plant in 83%6% of all Geo games by then
  • Vehicle PlantVehicle Plant in 83%15% of all Geo games by then
  • UmbraJammer in 49%2% of all Geo games by then

Where those units first fight, in 47 games with kill data: in the middle 83%, on their own side 17%.

Those units destroy a typical 3,963 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into Jaguar (23% of army), Starlight (23% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Mauser out by 5:58

  1. Open mex and geo like normal, but rush Vehicle Plant by 3:58.
  2. Push straight into Advanced Vehicle Plant well ahead of the norm.
  3. Field Mauser mobile arty from the T2 plant to shell middle early.
  4. Add jammer support to protect the arty push.
  5. Ease into Advanced Geothermal and the usual Starlight/Jaguar transition.
