hi,
as i see it, the main problem in the beginning was that you simply teched up too early and while sinking 500 manpower in a truck and healing you were simply outnumbert on the field.
Someone else pointed this out too. The reason I teched for the ISG immediately is because I faced this guy enough times to know his tactic, so I knew I needed an ISG asap before his Maxims would overwhelm me. I didn't see the value of going for the 3rd Volk at the start because they would just be cannon fodder for his Maxims.
