The second REAL strat post the importance of moving
Keeping your guys moving can be the difference between life and death,
especially in a small battle between ballistic cannon units. You move, they
don’t hit you, you hit them. And it allows you to get around to their weak, long
range units. It doesn’t just have to be against ballistics though. Even emgs can
miss, and the more your enemy misses the better

Yeah, Nothing is easier then a stationary object when bombarding with big guns
or making bombing runs.
I’d also take a fast moving unit like a flea or zapper over a goliath in a one
on one fight.

-I’m losing faith that any of us will ever amount to anything more than
reluctant human subsidies, the moving parts in a death-machine, protesting their
complicity, but waiting for somebody else to throw their body on the churning
gears.

Hey, neat trick to avoid bombing runs. (this may only work with UH’s upgraded
“teleporting” hover trans) Grab the unit with the trans, and put it back on the
other side of the trans. wallaha! Prob solved

Hm… the flea and zippers have such short ranges, though, that occasionally the
goliath will score a hit. Or, if the player is smart, he will aim at the ground
were your flea is going, and your poor little flea will run right through his
fire. In a 1v1 fight, I’d take a Fido. Nice range, nice armor, speedy, and their
shells don’t arc.

well in a 1 on 1 fight i will pick a sumo or krogoth against your flea or zipper
then again you would have like 300 zippers to one krogoth probably, that would
be a neat site, 300 zippers dancing around a krogoth…hmmm

Well, obviously a kroggy can whip anything because of it’s laser and missiles.
But other than that, my fido will waste your sumo. It’ll take a while, but don’t
think I’m ever coming in range of that laser. And don’t even dream of catching
me.

Spooman and if the Sumo just retreats…?
The beauty of the world has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting
the heart asunder.

That will make my life easier. Once you tell a unit to attack something, it will
keep it in range if possible and shoot it even if it’s out of sight. There is no
escape!
