That is, using your comm to push forward in the early stages of a game to dig in and gain an advantage. I never do this because I'm just not willing to risk my comm that early on. Even if you manage to destroy the enemy defences the comm comes forward and dguns whatever forces you have.

That is not comm rushing....that is strategy. Comm rushing is when you actually attack the other players base(which Is totally unethical). Expanding with your comm is just a tactic(good or bad). The easiest way to combat this is to use gunships(in xta at least). A few samsons will also be able to take out the enemy comm with ease. Also, If your enemy is digging in with the comm, you can probably come around the back and cripple his resources.

I find that games are most fun when played on Comm ends. Then, there is some serious risk in exposing your comm.

Hmmm, whatever it's called, I hate it. It can easily ruin a game for me. It's extremely hard to to take a comm out with lvl1 units and it's even harder to knock out gunships in the early game.

Commanders, yes. But gunships? 2 MT take out one gunship before you can say Krogoth, and most of the time your gonna need atleast 4 fast to take out weasels...

I meant build them, in response to Daves answer of using gunships to take out a comm.

Comm-Bombers, especially when they fling their Comm at you with an Airtransport are terrorists!

Comm-Ends is the only way to play.
