Well basically.  Then there is the old Q trick where I only need 3 tanks
to take out my opponents yard in the beginning.  Unstobbable unless you
know how to use engineers.

Speaking of engineers, build two barracks ON TOP OF YOUR YARD, and crank
out engineers as your yard is being repaired then do it again.  I build
3 barracks and put one on top of my refinery in case the tank rusher
goes for my refinery to starve me for cash.

Believe it or not, I got to 31 on Case's Ladder in a few weeks by
letting people attack me, and then counter attacking later on.  I won
almost 80% of my games (and very few were scrubs).  Don't play on the
ladder anymore, cause tank rushing got too boring and I am busy with
work and ultRA v2.0
