Junky,
I am as much about finding a good fight as any of you, and do get frustrated when the hangars get dropped etc, BUT, I have to disagree about the "flooding" of troops being "gamey". Overwhelming the enemy with troops is a tactic that has been used in war for ages. Same goes for "horde" tactics. Yes, it is dweeby and annoying, BUT, it is not "gamey". In fact, those of us that prefer the fight are more "gamey" than the horde dweebs are. Not saying I agree with horders and whatnot, since it does lessen the game experience IMO, just pointing out it is not gamey.
