Note the plural use of the noun FORCES. You can't implement > strategy with one unit retard. Take one to know one Doug. And yes you can : because the strategy could be to retreat, attack, dig in, move left. move right, fire long range, fire short range, charge ones cells etc. You really are on a hiding to nothing here. While it is more frequently the case that an RTS involves multiple units of force, it is also perfectly feasible to only manipulate one - as is, of course, the case anyway when the other units are lost. Personally I think the use of the word "retard" shows a deep lack of moral fibre.
