Last weekend I played my second game of Starcraft. It took about seven hours, not counting pause for dinner. I tried a Zergling rush.
It didn’t work.

That looks…interesting. Why didn’t the Zergling Rush work? Zergs looove blitzes.

Sometimes it works; sometimes you don’t rush quite hard enough and they get away.

Hmmm. A siege-tank crawl might suit the measured pace of a board game better. But then I only ever used it in campaign games, not against human opponents. YMMV.

To be fair, it *did* also take out your primary opponent—-it just left your backfield open to be destroyed by the other four. Maybe a one or two-front Zergling rush would work better than a three+ front one?
