I pulled off something cool against a friend the other day. I was GLA, he was China.

I sent in suicide trucks and busted a hole in his defenses. It was quickly covered by defense units, but the point was knocking out everything that could see cloaking.

I sent in the special character (can never remember his name). Cloaked, he quickly ran through enemy lines. I reached the overlord staging area. There were five currenly. I sniped the driver out of three of them before he could kill my guy with his migs. Then I used the ambush general ability to make 8 guys appear around the overlords. I captured the 3 without drivers, and used them to destory the other two. Then I went on a rampage. I destroyed quite a bit of his innner base before he managed to kill them.

He was too far gone after that. It was game over :)
Sounds like a n00b :p At most, you would have sniped one OL... if you were lucky :p Then I'd just pop in another driver :p

He has the basics down, but is still a little slow on some things.

And he tried to pop drivers back in but didn't have any infantry real close by. And I sniped one that was trying to get in to be a driver.

Really big noob, can't overlords detect invisible units?

With the gatling cannon upgrade, yes.

***CONFIRMED*** the guy's a frickin übArn00b. Who builds five Overlords and doesn't stick a Gatling on even one of them? :p
