Sequence valid

Every step is affordable at its stated timing and its prerequisites are met.

Execution notes

An aggressive Tier 2 timing that trades economy for a single decisive window. If the push does not take a point or kill a support squad, you are behind and playing catch-up.

Adaptations

If: Kataphrons already in position
Jump directly onto them — do not approach through the Vanguard screen.
If: Push repelled
Retreat everything, take the second generator immediately and play for Tier 3.

Known weaknesses

  • One generator behind if the push fails
  • Nothing to answer vehicles if the game goes long

Unproven build

This build was written before Dawn of War IV was released. Its timings come from provisional statistics and it has never been played.
