Very often each partner defends only his own base and doesn't support the partner's side with his units. On Mechanism in this situation you can't prevent being hit with teleported sniper even though your partner has a big army there

Brilliant opening as player 2.
I had been wondering: if green or red plays as player 1 they can hit the middle base with soldier on their second turn (turn 5).
Like on the second replay (you posted).
To make base hit cost more, player 4 can use runner to block base, but if player 1 wants to hit base immediately - there is no stopping.
Clearly it is loosing strategy to this opening demonstrated above, but is it a bad opening, since attacker ends up loosing soldier. Runners, if used, die from both teams. To me hitting base with a soldier is worth sacrificing a soldier (on other maps).
Haven't played mechanism that much yet. I was sure there was something this devastating to be discovered.

I was pretty happy when I found out we could do that, cuz I was at first like "we will lose" because burno told me he didn't have 8 wits to make a runner-snipe combo x)

It definitely takes the team to make it happen.
And I think the best defense is to get units of both colors down there to defend.
I want to watch a game where both teams try to do this attack.

Well it was against a random team, so I guess they just playe for themselves. I don't think it could really work against a good arranged team

Yep, this rush is easy to prevent, so I stop doing it since I told about it

It's soo weird we aren't promoted.. It's like our 20th consecutive win and no promotion!!

Youll probably get promoted once you lose a game xD
