Subject: Re: Counterstrategy for Missile Launchers

Yeah, I totally agree gurudon. If you've managed to allow your enemy to obtain maximum range on their missile crawlers then you've already caused massive problems for yourself and probably not played well up to that point.

I'm not entirely sure that land maps are the way forward because you can often go a long way to countering the missile crawler threat with naval units (through stealth, speed and pure numbers) - particularly with missile cruisers which can follow the same upgrade path but take a more unorthodox line of attack.

You can also preempt a ranged missile attack with a mine laying strategy, but you have to guess where the attack will come from as you'll spend the whole game laying mines which is not a good idea!

One of the guys I play against regularly uses the missile crawler strategy, so I'll keep trying to work out the best counter for it!
