Building a large number of tank-like units and charging them at your enemy in an RTS. Best done rather quickly near the beginning of a game. Brought into common usage by CommandAndConquer. Drives me barmy!

Also remarkably easy to do in AgeOfEmpires? (although that has several varieties), TotalAnnihilation (Staying alive longer than 20 minutes on Boneyards is never easy...), and indeed most other purely RTS games recently. I've never played Homeworld online, so don't know about that.

Certainly, though, deploy MCV, advanced power plant, refinery, weapons factory, refinery, refinery, WF, tanks is a 15-minute way to win a game of C&C (have to play as the GDI) or RA (probably best to play as the Soviets).

How does one "win a game of StuartFraser", then?? ^^;; --AC

Sorry, sorry... of course RA=RedAlert?. But it's not the normal expansion of that acronym on this wiki. My denseness... --AC

: The thought did occurr to me when entering the paragraph that there was PotentialForConfusion. I sort of decided it ought to be reasonably obvious from context that I wasn't referring to myself. Then again, I suspect that Sally could probably answer your question anyway. --RA?
