Remember that we are talking M2TW and not StarCraft (No peasant rush... ) and that the level of complexity is much higher...
I would also hope that this would not be the case, but if it wasn't then it would be a first MP game I've played where it wasn't. Usually, playing style declines to the lowest common denominator. The only real hope I would hold is that provided the game was PBEM and therefore allowed time for player interaction between turns then there might be a chance for the Turtles to ally themselves against a Blitzer and thus keep him in check.

As for the issue of the 'Zergling Rush' not being an option outside Starcraft, I have less hope. I have never played MTW2 battlegrounds, but certainly in the STW battleground game the 'Zergling Rush' was perfectly feasible, either as a 'Monk Rush', a 'High Honour Peasant Rush' or 'Massed Heavy Cavalry'. I see no reason to assume that something similar is not possible in MTW2, where Blitzers could easily form imba armies based upon their preferred unit type. I would certainly imagine a heavy preferance for 100% Horse Archer Armies amongst some players. but others are claiming massed peasants can be equally useful for seige assaults.
