Okay -- now there's some good info!! Saying you need to "learn how to play"
doesn't help much.  It would be helpful if you provided some tactics like
Doc here.  That's the point of my posting -- I'm trying to learn how to play
duh!  So help me learn Margolis!

I've been trying to get better with the buggies, but it seems like there is
a lot to keep track of.  I have been able to get around him with the buggies
and had my sniper working him pretty good too (he spent a lot of energy
trying to get the sniper).  But still, once those Tomahawks are nasty with
the lock-on.

The tunnel idea is okay, but there will be no tunnel behind him because he
trashes everything - he doesn't pass anything bye.  Putting a tunnel to the
side sounds interesting.  I'll try that.

It's that wall of tanks that kicks me all the time.  There is no way to get
a shot off at him.  I'll just mass the buggies next time and do that nasty
bomb truck thing too.  That's a great idea using a drone as camo.  I'm sure
that will piss him off.  What side masses of buggies should I use?  Should I
keep them in packs of 5 or 10 or go nuts and have 15-20 of them in one mob?

Thanks again for the support!
