I think the best strategy for going IC is to be Fedman.

And then losing and blaming your team for their incompetence!

Hey, First Rule of Commanding.

No but seriously, actually don't go Exp vs Giga unless you are willing to push an op and end it early with bombers. Otherwise IC Exp sucks big-time against Giga.

On that note, I once played a game as Giga where our Patties got chewed up against IC ints, all our miners died and we got int bombed. Very next game, I watched our ripping miners die to Patties/LtCarrier, our ints continually getting proxed and the enemy bomb us with Patty-pushed AB2 bombers.

^^Not related to anything but I thought it was an interesting vignette!

Which brings us to the biggest commanding tip of them all:

"Get yourself a stack."

When you start commanding IC don't try to push your first TP but build it at home unless you know what you are doing. Otherwise it will mess up your economy. :cool:

Wait a second. Why are you posting here? Are you telling me that all of a sudden you started to command something else but TF Exp? :D

People would be less stupid if their commanders were competent enough to know that they are being stupid, and then told them. Boot them too.

Either that or they would play less, and let the intelligent people play without them.
