So 1440MP and 120MN to counter a 440MP unit? Isn't that a bit much to dedicate your entire early game army to fight one squad?
Why is this so hard to comprehend?
You're not dedicating you're entire army to fight just ONE unit. You're gonna be fighting conscripts too and whatever else your opponent has. I'm just recommending a T1 build that can handle early shocks optimally.
If he gets more than 1 shocks (or if it's a team game) then your build becomes very cost effective.
