 Put a worker on a motorbike, drive into enemy base,dismount and build a
tunnel. Pump out tanks and stuff through the tunnel while contuinuing to
strengthen the position by building more tunnels / stinger sites etc.

 Not what you would call a "clean" tactic but then the USA rush in Generals
with a construction dozer in a Chinook straight into your base at the start
to build patriots was the same thing.

 Not a cheat either way but damn annoying and spoil the flow of the game in
my opinion.
