Well, I used to think that RA Multiplayer had one strategy--tank
rushing... until I mastered the other aspects of the game that
counteract your basic tank rushing opponent. Now, I'm not saying that
I'm a RA "master",  I just mean that once you get a feel for all the
weaponry available, you can counteract the tank rush quite easily.
I've played lots of games lately where tank rushing is not a factor.
You, at first, may think that Chronospheres, nukes, cruisers, tesla
coils and rocket soldiers are basically useless against a vast armada
of tanks, but when placed and played well, they offer varied and
effective defense/offense.
The tank rush strategy is prevalent in ladder matches, mainly. When
people are only focusing on advancing up the ladder and winning vs.
having an enjoyable game, they tend to fall back on the tank rush,
which is, admittedly, a quick way to win. That's why I'm souring on
playing ladder matches lately and getting more enjoyment out of "for
fun" matches--what's the point if you don't have fun?

As for WarII... like my earlier post said, I'm sure some people find
that kind of game fun, but I'm not one of them.
