I'm not new to C&C games.  I've been playing them for years.  Every
now and then I log in at Westwood to play some online games and am
reminded that speed kills.  Does anyone know what's up with players
being able to amass troops faster than me?  I get my basic buildings
up, 2 ore trucks and WAMM I'm nailed by multiple units requiring
battle labs.  There's no way they can build that fast.  Is this a
cheat?  My clue that it is a cheat is that my opponents seem to always
be adjusting the game speed, but I don't see any increase/decrease in
how long it takes my units to build/move.

Where's the fun?  They get to clobber me in 5 minutes.  Isn't that
like watching the same tv show over and over?  You always know the
outcome.  I just don't get it.
