Utter noob seeking opponent

[Minuteman]

Before I joined this ladder I got pickup games online from a chat room and got two pieces of decent advice:

Until you can play the AI at +3 and consistently win - expect real people to hand it to you pretty regularly.

Also, if you want to get a feel for how different units, guns, tanks etc. impact the battlefield make a test scenario and run as a hot seat. If you are interested, it helped me choose a little better ME mix, I'd like to think.

Kuenstler is a terrific opponent - and wicked good - Guard your flanks!
