Well, I think that SD is not a race for beginners. They need a lot of Micromanagement, and there are some really effective tactics, but you need some experience to make use of them...In my opinion, SD is (besides CA) one of the strongest PRTs at all.



Definitely. OTOH, SD can also be a nasty crutch to beginners. Other beginners won't know how to deal with those minefields. So, the SD player thinks he is much better than he actually is.

Case in point, my last game. I mentioned that 1 of the SD's in the game was an excellent player, but the other SD was not. It was very apparent that player did not belong in the game. He had no idea how to use minelayers in sort of effective offensive fashion. While it was very difficult for me to kill SD#1's SML's, killing SD#2's SML's was trivial.
