What is the maddiest strategu you ever tough about?

My one is this one:

*From start, make some energy structures, then make one airfield, then make one transport and one fighter, then combomb the enemy making sure you kill everthing that can build things, now use the fighter to kill the rest.

Of course that only haves a remote chance of working on 1v1.

Better:
Rush to airfield, build transport, move com to their factory. Put com down, destroy (or capture) factory, build a couple llts.

Then chase down their com for mutual destruction. With luck, they won't have had time to build a second factory, or you'll get it when you get their com.

In the meantime, you should be doing your (slow) airstart, as if the game was normal.

I always dreamed of Airdrop of Minelayers and then Minelayered Metallspots & Geos in his Backyard ...

Or if no AA is up, flying in with some StunDrones and stunning the Solars.. in Addition take some Units along that help the LLt to fire the Storage empty..

The first one is not so fantastic... but I dont think you need air drop since minelayers are pretty fast... :P

Mainly in maps like altore divided were players dont think twice before seending their com and construction bots ahead to capture the most ground possible...

Ah, another day, another list of reasons why I don't think the L1 comm should be air-transportable.

(last game I got creamed because my neighbor was comnapped into my base 3 minutes in, which killed my comm and most of my infrastructure - can you tell?).

Sefidel has tried to comnapped me a few times. He failed miserably. What's so difficult about paying attention to your commander?

Enemies airdropping their commander into your base is far worse (especially when your allies fail to combomb him in which case I just rage quit. Really)

I once transported artillery ontop of the pillars on MH to bobard noize's solars. Worked pretty well, except thanks to the rounded edges he could shoot it down and kill it :(.

Also napped a gollie that time.. heh, that's what i like about strategy games... crazy strategys ;).

I challenged some people to ladder games on splintered tropics and i'd rush out 20 fighters right at the start and attack their com.

worked every time 8)

On ssb, I have fun with crawling bombs...whenever a player is slow to go sea (after I get a lvl2 klab), their unprotected commander meets two of my little surprises submerged in front of the shore.

I trained like nuts with bean bread, but then they had melon bread, and curry bread and bean bread and others, so I got confused and in the end I got fifth place :(
