:) Yes, Brennq, YOU can stop virtually all rushes because YOU are one of the best Emperor players ever. My point is that people like me, who don't get to play as often as some of you great players, or who aren't quite as talented at micro, hotkeys, etc., find Atreides the most difficult house for fending off a rush. Sure, turrets are great IF you can place them in the right place at the right time; otherwise, you better be damned efficient. The best players ARE, while the rest of us ARE NOT. Nav could never do it either, because despite all his bragging he never became good enough to stop top players' rushes, hence his constant harping on the 3-minute "rule."
