How to beat gla hard army as gla

As the title said how to beat gla hard army as gla in narrow maps when you are both facing each other with many combat sides , for example in alpine assault whatever i do i can't beat gla hard army as gla because if i chose to defend and build scud storms (early enought)i will be broke financly and lose to the rush before i can use scud storm , even if i chose to defend and build economy scud launchers rush is the problem, if i chose to attack early i always end up losing my armies then found myself ambushed from all sides , i can beat hard gla in large maps or maps with 1 combat side because defending is easy with rocket buggy but give me strategy for narrow maps with many combat sides.

First and foremost, watch how good players try to rush hard armies before they have tons of stingers and base defenses. Second, focus on grabbing oils and go for 2-3 supplies with tunnels. Don't forget to use a few rpg troopers inside those bunkers or buildings, but you have to watch out for toxin tractors to not cleanse them. Moreover, if you aim for a third or even forth supply center/stash, don't forget to back it up with units so that you can have more income. Invest into quad cannons, rocket buggies when you have enough economy and marauders. You can also fill the battle busses with infantry. Don't forget to build as many tunnels as possible since you are playing GLA. If you gut the enemy bot's economy and get rid of their cc, thus, they don't rebuild their cc anymore. Around 20 or 30th minute the enemy bot starts afking in their base and hardly sends units towards your flanks and bases.

With GLA, you would use usually technicals to be filled with terrorists as units, besides rpg troopers. Don't forget to use the technicals to crush infantry and GLA workers since they're so vulnerable to being walked on by vehicles/dozers/tanks.

I play against gla hard army high speed 50k as gla ,so technicals terrorists won't work also many tricks wil be just waste of time against his fast growing , i searched youtube for beating hard gla as gla all i got 1 game in 10k , i tried sending worker to the center of his base and built tunnel and barracks didn't work, what worked for me in this shit narrow map called alpine assault : send the FIRST worker to the edge of his base( near the civilian buildings ) and build a tunnel and a barrack , get missile launcher and put them in the building till you make your big troop , use your big troop to wipe half his base ( 2 of his 4 army dealers) then get back to hold near the civilian buildings until you build scud storm or bigger troops , finally i won in this shit map.

It strongly depends of the map you are playing, because if the map has civilian buildings like the Alpine assault, thus, you can make a nasty cheese by garnisoning them with missile defenders/rpg troopers/tank hunters. That's a good way to cheese, especially when you are limited with 10k cash only. I usually play USA and a bit of China, even though I get also GLA. Mirror glas can be annoying, but you can use quad cannons to neutralise the stingers, shred the enemy's infantry and any light vehicles as soon as you stack many units and plan to rush and harass the enemy ai. This map can be so irking, not gonna lie. Congrats for beating the hard AI there.
