If the opponent hasn't attacked and I've then got sufficient other units & cash I tend to swop the terrorist drivers for a worker and Karmen Jell, you can keep your opponent occupied for ages with these two (Jell is stealthed) leaving you to prepare a decisive assault force while they hunt them down. The worker on the bike is an excellent rush unit for getting a tunnel in the enemies base (not a tactic I like but many do to good effect). I think the fact that these are use and lose units stops too many being built by most players. Doc
