(well, i was quoting slightly out of context, but still...)

I had an excellent 3v3 game vs the Storms yesterday, where they showed the art of defensive tactics, and very clearly illustrated the difference between strategical and tactical defense. They were on the attacking side, and all of us defenders had more or less purely defensive armies. The pav/archer war went on for a very long time (45 mins). I think the two armies on the right side didn't even engage during that time. One of my allies even started complaining "Aren't you gonna attack? If you dont attack you should be defending". But they were winning the missile war, there was no point for them to attack. Eventually all my ammo was exchausted, and gunpowder units coming close, I charged. And routed. Their tactics soon went into the so-called cleaning up phase. GG
