Key timing: Vehicle Plant by 0:47
- Open 3 mex then Bot Lab and Vehicle Plant almost together.
- Layer wind while both labs start producing.
- Send early units to coast first to stop leaks, not middle.
- Add Construction Turrets as "Blitz", "Rocketeer", "Janus" mix builds up.
- Transition into Advanced Metal Extractor once T2 con is out.

Standard Front play wins more often than suicide front and produces more metal by 15:00, reflecting its safer positioning.
- + Metal produced reaches 22219 by 15:00, above suicide front's 19882
- + Own losses of 8949 stay under enemy metal destroyed's near-equal 8347
- − First unit lost by 1:44 shows exposure even from the safer side
- − Wider gap to defend demands disciplined coast-then-mid unit movement
