If you can't handle what the game has in front of you right now, you will fail. PA is terribly forgiving, requiring little attention or strategy to effectively use one's units. Seriously, you can just order units in PA to randomly patrol a given area, making normal, careful patrols useless.
Quite. Or you can - y'know - spend years dicking around with Skirmish and the Single Player Campaign and never really touch the Multiplayer. Also Experimental Units are hilarious.
Quick Edit - I can attest to this as someone who can usually be rather slow to deploy forces or mount any kind of offence.
Oh yes... Oooh yes~!
I had fun not too long ago with setting up on a small 8 player FFA with all the enemy AI set to be as powerful as possible, have ground based tactics and then ban the use of everything that isn't a either a ground unit, factory, point defense or ground experimental every started with all tech unlocked. And with randomized factions too.
Ooooh man... It was fun as hell to see 8 king kryptors duke it out against an assortment of other ground units all on a tiny little bridge.
