Hey, I recently played a game on Release vs Chieftain. I decided on an honour guard rush, and i began to start mixing in Jackals. As I reached his base with several honour guards and a blessed Prophet, he reaches mine with Chieftain and a roughly equal amount of Brute Squads. I lost out on base damage eventually.
My question is: how do I counter this on Release? I went Temple W, W, W, Hall. The W were blessed also. The Chieftain arrived at my base after my hall went up. I am doomed to lose on base damage, so what am I doing wrong? Should I have gone Shield Gen instead of Hall? Or should I just sit back and counter the initial rush ( with my force of honour guards and Prophet)?
