Cool thanks for your answer. I guess it is not a very popular strategy then since I haven't really come across this in the forums so far. I might give this strategy an experiment to see how it works. Thanks again!
Even before it was almost only ever used as an endgame strategy, because the endgame is really bad for techers, and kinda good for reseller or a full-acre MBR switch and jump. Even that is very uncommon now.
Nowadays the main users of MBs are oil destockers. Who drop to like 1-200 acres to build only 1 turn of MBs to jump with units from burnt oil.
