Firstly, let me just say that this build order is not ideal for many situations. What if he goes for air or navy? Especially if the latter, you're screwed. For larger maps where exact timing makes less difference, you want to go crusher crane and defense with soviets, with air supplement and an aggressive expansion game. and if that first wave fails, then he knows exactly what your BO is, because that tactic is so predictable (and yes, it has been around since the game came out, so don't think you're origional). The metagame you discussed maybe not so much, but all he needs is a good retaliatory hit on you and you're ****ed.
Also, imagine this scenario: You go your build order, another sov player goes crane first, and a defensive build to start. you go reactor, ref, wf (in a total of 50 seconds) and make 2 terror drones (thats 10 seconds in all there), then about 20-ish seconds for the drones to get there depending on the size of the map. That totals to about 1:30 (which is fast, i will agree, but bear with me)
Meanwhile, your opponent made a crane, 2 reactors, and 2 refs (total of 50 seconds), but while he was doing that, he also made a sentry gun (or two) to defend his miners, and he walled in his refineries on either side to defend. your TDs are screwed, meaning a loss of 1200 $ if they died, or a useless 1200 $ just sitting there. You have spent about 6000$, and are making 250 per miner dump (which is fine, you still have 4000 left for other stuff). Your enemy has spent about 8000$ (accounting for the sentry and the cost of walls). But he has several advantages over you. Firstly, he isnt far behind. In the same 20 seconds you use to make your refinery, he can make his war factory to counter your TDs and sickles. While you will have 2000 credits more than him, he has been spending the last 30 seconds makign twice the amount of money that you made, and not to mention that he is now free to expand while making a super reactor at the same time.

"Yup, she's pissed..."
**BOOM**
" Real pissed!"

if ur first wave fails, just keep on hammering them with small wave after wave. (ur teammate should not help u) he might die in the process.
Thank you.
