Having watched the replay, the style seems odd. Sniper "spam" was just 2 snipers, and the RE spam didn't really accomplish much. The style that Aimstrong used seems similar and better in terms of timings:

- you don't require an unnecessarily early AT gun
- skipping AEC gives you faster Centaur
- Aimstrong would rush T2 for sniper, and follow up with 2 RE's anyway (same idea you were going for)
- I think and earlier airborne officer gives much more use than extra REs (especially if you lose them all like in this replay)
- Earlier croc instead of 4 Centaurs would have finished the game... not sure why you held out so long, but I figure the goal with Brits anyway is to get the croc and instawin.

Just my thoughts.

Guess I should have said this is primary a 2vs2 strat for randoms. A 2vs2 player (Barantah) was interested in RE spam/non IS build so I posted this as I did not have good 2vs2 replay since last patch.
Not the best showcase of RE spam but I got into the top10 random brits using primary RE spam so it works if played well enough.

With 6 x RE call-in (4xRE call in I show in the replay) brits save 300 manpower and with raid operation you can cap the map really fast if werh go sniper/support heavy.

With this 2vs2 strat, the Airborne officer is situational because it cost over 500 manpower, thats over 3 RE squads (3 x 160 mp with call ins). Mid-late game I would still get the officier but only after I have solid map control.

Centaurs will get a nerf and maybe also Commandos, RE spam wont.

RE spam scale well with churchills + AT guns. Fast repair, cheap 13 MP reinforce with vet3 and up to 3 lmgs on each RE.

Yes right now Centaurs and Commandos/officier are popular (if not OP) but dont underestimate RE spam.
