We do alot of light rushing because its the only way we can out tick a pug horde. If we farm or fight legit, 2-3 pug drops happen during our game and since IS pugs lose to clan pugs, our win counts for squat.

No one enjoys doing it but its the skill vs horde mechanics of CW as is.

I've seen a Myst Lynx rush before. No one expected it, especially from a CSJ team.

Did it work?

Yes, mostly because half our team jumped the wall expecting a different team comp.

Thread is old, but here is why Kurita sometimes light rush despite demonstrating time and again ability to win by farm to 48:

NA - 06:00UTC - 03/11/3050

Clan Jade Falcon takes Symington from Lyran Commonwealth!
Clan Wolf takes Sakhalin from Lyran Commonwealth!
Draconis Combine takes Zollikofen from Free Worlds League!
Draconis Combine takes Vanern from Clan Smoke Jaguar!
Free Rasalhague Republic takes Hermagor from Clan Wolf!
Lyran Commonwealth takes Dalkeith from Clan Wolf!
The Federated Suns takes Tsingtao from Capellan Confederation!

Clan Ghost Bear holds Draconis Combine to 1 on Sulafat.
Clan Jade Falcon holds Lyran Commonwealth to 2 on Summit.
Clan Wolf holds Draconis Combine to 1 on Orestes.
Clan Smoke Jaguar holds Clan Ghost Bear to 1 on Babuyan.
Draconis Combine holds Clan Smoke Jaguar to 4 on Algedi.
Draconis Combine holds Free Worlds League to 1 on Chara.
Draconis Combine holds The Federated Suns to 2 on Ronel.
Draconis Combine holds Clan Smoke Jaguar to 3 on Chatham.
Draconis Combine holds Clan Ghost Bear to 1 on Trolloc Prime.
Free Rasalhague Republic holds Clan Ghost Bear to 2 on Grumium.

9 of 17 planets seeing activity tonight have Kurita on one side of conflict. Kurita end night at +2 with no defense planets in real danger.

Seem to me like lot of clan want to be bodybuilder, but no clan want to lift this heavy ass weight.

Any players will use tactics that works.
Light rush is effective (HSR, hit-box problems, overpowered firestarters etc.), so it worth to be used.
When something will change ingame, there will be new tactic. So if anyone don't like light rush - just wait.

I'm not saying it isn't a valid tactic.

I'm not saying it should be nerfed.

What I am saying is that whenever I have encountered a Kurita 8 man + I know what is coming: Light Rush. Out of my last 12 games against Kurita units I have seen it 10 times.

I am curious as to why this strategy is so wide spread in the Draconis Combine.

Again, not flaming, just interested as to why it is so wide spread in the Draconis Combine in that I barely ever see it from FRR or Steiner.

STORMCROW.

No more words needed.

Not really applicable here seeing as his horde tactics are meant specifically to deal with enemy mechs by capitalizing on the comparative ease of fielding a larger quantity of the wasps and stingers, which doesn't really work in a straight up 12 vs 12 game mode. But yeah sarna has got a lot of nifty little-

The unit became known for its raid tactics, utilizing Light BattleMechs. However, due to the colonel's affection for his men, he would not use risky tactics which he believed couldn't work.

Huh, thought these guys reminded me of someone, wonder if there's a story behind that.

Quickly, to the batmechs!

Crap, Pwn. They figure out that all the DCMS is rubbing Clanner blood on our mechs?! Fuuuuuug!

Yeah seriously, like... the streak cleansing bloodbath ritual was extremely upsetting and very messy. If it doesn't actually end up doing what it was supposed to I'm going to be particularly angry.
