How to fight GK

[DandyFrontline]

Here is the 2vs2 replay: tell me how to fight the GK? Termis BC and LRC just fu*k up everything, u really cant deal with it. Even with 2 LR's with executioner it's take forever to take BC or termis. Despite we had less energy i had pretty enough units as well as my m8 to deal with every faction in the game but not the freacking GK. I had the same situation with gk so many times that im just pissed off now. And in next patch GK termis gonna get that 'tactical retreat'... www.gamereplays.org/dawnofwar2/replays. ... &id=303483

So what I noticed is that you did everything right except waiting too long to buy your central power back and focusing too much on the central vp. Your central power was bashed in tier 1, leaving only 1 gen left and no node. You guys went to tier 2 and didn't buy your power back for a few minutes. When GK's were able to force its way to your central power all they had to do bash one gen, then retreat. The next time they forced their way to the central power you guys had only a node up. Again all they had to do was shoot the node and retreat. Now tyranids were right there in force protecting that center and GK's would of never been able to stay there long enough to bash anything more than one gen or one node before being forced off. If you guys had more gens up you would of at most lost only one gen and wouldn't of been stuck in Tier 2 for so long after the GK's had already gone to tier 3.

My seconded point is that you (Imperial Guard) focused too much on pushing the central VP were that LRC was and you were power starved for a long time. Instead of going full frontal assault on the Grey Knights' strongest position you should of held back protected your power and kept more tanks at their natural vp forcing the GK's to come to you and taking away the use of those guns on top of that LRC. Even power starved for so long I think you guys could of held out if you guys kept hold of those naturals by focusing on them a little bit more.
