They cannot be stopped unless you rush them early on. Not possible to win otherwise.

Can anyone give me a way around this?

No possible way.

As GLA.

Sneak a construction worker into their base and build a Bunker. Then stream endless units in past their defenses :)

I use cruise missles.



I tried with cruise missles, just couldnt keep them around long enough those damn long range artty kept taking them out when I focused on the infantry and when I focused on the arrty
the infantry took them out.


with the GLA I used the Tractors(aka sarsmobile) too spew out the toxic cloud and had the workers build those bombs all over the place.

Yeah, make sure you have the tow missile upgrade, don't waste time or money on tanks, just mass with these, however if china has 6 of their overlords 3 with the chain gun and 3 with the propaganda tower, you will not be winning unless you are friggin napoleon or something...

you have to attack both at the same time.

If you think that's bad, take a look at China's win percentage in the tournament level ladders.

While overall their win percentage is only around 36% on Generals online, this includes newbies, people who don't know any better and people who just like to use the USA.

But when you look at what sides the champions use in the ranked tournaments, it is overwhelmingly China, by a factor of more than 2:1.

It is obvious that China has an inherent advantage.

Oh hell ya they have the Tow upgrades, for the overlord since they move very slow just move 30 to 50 gunships and do a A-10 run over them to take care of them, granted none of the gunships are comeing back but they will take out 3 to 4 of the overlords and leave whats left beat up!


I tend to build 6 to 8 airfields if there is space enough, if not I will tend to get my arse handed to me without heavy airsupport

Kinda off topic, but as china I like to mass migs, it isn't the best strategy, but it is fun, and face it, if I have my 6 overlords you aren't going to win anyways.

the gla has that sniper fellow who can pop out the driver doesn't it? I think his range is high enough to keep him alive to pop the lead tank. Couple that with ambush and 6 overlords should become a problem the other player has to counter then neh?
Or buggies and mobs. properly microed, you could prolly chew them up pretty well with that range. I also know that if the overlord is not moving,a suicide bomber in a car can hit it if the turret is facing the other way.

on the US side, wouldn't 6 comanches bombardment attack be able to do it? Also rocket troopers loaded into humvees shoot out the windows iirc and do a very respectable(read: obscene) amount of damage with TOW missiles.

my sc is showing tho...my gut reaction was to say...psi storm them...they're so slow, they won't be able to move out of the way. :D
