You're right, but we were talking about your strategy against tank
rushes.

50% right.  Going after the rushers base if he rushes your partner is
an excelent strategy.  But here again, if he's rushing your base,
you're in trouble and I've already covered your lame base defense
strategies.  I don't even bother with a game that's less than 4
players anymore.

TANKS TANKS TANKS TANKS TANKS, and more tanks.  When you think you
have enough tanks, BUILD MORE TANKS!  Sorry to say that but it's true.
BTW, I HATE TANK RUSHERS!
