In the iPro clan, we developed (well, Exzachtlee developed) a hyper-aggressive opening where we storm the Wit side before a fort can be built. The thing working in the aggressor's favor is that both of his spawns are in range to attack: each turn, you can spawn a Soldier from the side spawn and a Runner from the center spawn, and move them both into attack position.

We're sort of keeping it to ourselves, so I don't think this particular opening is common knowledge, yet. The attack usually begins during Turn 5-6, and can be launched either as P1 or P2, and often simultaneously in our matches. Would you be ready by then? Passive defenses to this rush haven't been working out for us.
