Yeah I know what the main aim was, and nobody could ever beat me, and they really tried! I was just saying that if you got good at the combat tactics it could come in useful at times, but I see your point. Did you ever play the sort of game where you immediately send your starting force out to blow up their base before they've even got it properly started, it's risky but you can win in a couple of minutes. We banned these sort of games too as "unsporting".
