RUSE was Elo, but it was a bit buggy. Similar to W:EE in that if you were at the upper end you gained too many Elo points for defeating somebody far below you.

EDIT [DAY] Topspin: So why don't you bring up your ideas for that in the marshal thread I am pretty interested in more ideas to stop spams in every kind It's the only thing i don't like in Wargame too.

(Sorry Tigga, i was to fast and edit your post instead of quote it. I hope it is no problem for you^^) Maybe you post it again with your correct quote ...

Starcraft 2 will have its expansion "Heart of the Swarm" coming out soon. In it there will be new units and a campaign. It is however fundamentally the exact same game and the multiplayer could have been handed out without a need to purchase the expansion.

It's sort of how the RTS market goes. They make a successful game it sells, they make an expansion to it. Company of Heroes had two, Starcraft had two, Red Alert had 900000000, Warcraft had 10-12, Total War has had around 50.

It's not like NOTHING will be added, they'll be adding tones of great stuff. What? I don't know, still waiting on my beta keyzors.

Wargame: AirLand Battle Tactics and Strategies

Every cloud has a silver lining and, while every sympathy is offered to Sotek, his exit from the cup has been a fantastic tonic for restoring the crushed self esteem of every average level player who has ever been wiped by a “heli-rush” in the first minute – if it can happen to the top level players then the rest of us don’t fell half so bad any more.

Fear of the heli-rush means players have to invest a relatively high proportion of their starting capital in AA, to do anything else is a real gamble while investing “AA heavy” limits other tactical options.

We hear an oft repeated response to the “heli-rush” problem along the lines of "wait for WALB and everything will be alright" but in WALB air units will be even more prominent so if they can’t find a solution to the air rush in WEE then what confidence can we have that “WALB” will not turn out to be just “WAB”.

Not really... You just have to keep points in reserve until you know the enemy battleplan, and use effective AA to start out. Pragas, for example, are not effective AA. Neither are afghanskis.. vulcans... etc etc.
Pretty much anything that is outranged by rockets is not going to be effective against a determined rush.
The two best anti-helo rush units in the game, imo, is the marder roland 2 and the pact igla infantry.

The marder has excellent accuracy and armor, so it's going to be difficult for enemy helos to kill, thus forcing your opponent to spend an inordinate amount of rockets on killing one. It also takes just as much time as the chap to enemy helos (HE 5 vs HE 7, so either unit is going to need 2 hits to down a 10pt health helo), is cheaper than a fullvet chap, and can continue firing without being resupplied.

the igla is hard to spot, being infantry, and easily spammable. It also cannot be targeted by ATGMs equipped helos.

And now?

Credit where it is due - those videos you posted on dealing with the rush were the most informative I've seen relating to this game, they should be made mantadory viewing for anyone before they are allowed to play 1v1 ranked.

I guess the only down-side that is left is that certain units are virtually obligatory for your deck regardless of your play style, but that is really a seperate topic.
