Well, that's it then...you beat your friend.  I guess tank rushing
isn't a problem.  Hey everyone, Yam beat his friend, so that proves
it...tank rushing isn't a problem!

Frankly, sweet potato, you weren't tank rushed.  Face it, you're
friend doesn't play very well.  If you build 6 $600 airstrips and 6
$1200 Migs EARLY in the game and I build nothing but tanks, you're I'm
going to beat you like a red headed step child.  I could have around
12 tanks for the cost of those airstrips and migs.  If you're building
planes against a guy that's going to rush you early with tanks, you
might as well flush your ore down the toilet.   And while your friend
was getting a cup of coffee or eating pizza, (I know this because he
wasn't building up his air defenses),  I would have been littering my
base with bazooka boys...there goes your planes and here come my
tanks.
