Thats funny!  Thats one of those things that someone who really
doesn't know what he's talking about might say.  It looks good on
paper but it's not practical and it wouldn't work.  When I see walls
in someones base, the first thing I think is NEWBIE!  If I put some
tanks right up against the wall and move in as soon as I shoot it
down, you can't replace it.  Then 1 tank will squish those guys.  And
I wouldn't even bother with those guys if I could get to the buildings
I wanted from an angle that your infantry could hit 'em.  It just
wouldn't work.  I've NEVER seen anyone do that and I play this game a
lot, a lot more than I would ever admit. :)

Bottom line again is while you're building walls and infantry
(hehehe), the tank rusher is building tanks.  If walls were effective,
people would use them.  Did ya ever notice that no one ever builds
walls?!?  Oh, I take that back, no one except you.
