I've never tried it, but it doesn't seem good.

usually before trying out a new and radical strategy, I do it against the comp, I might try it sometime.

but I feel it would slow down your eco so much that it'd be worse for you than to the enemy.

Is completely useless. I tried it in an unrated game and it was so weak it wasn't funny. I feel embarrassed to have even attempted it.

snot thát bad, since it doesn't slow you down thát much...

but yeah vs a capable opponent it's pretty useless, just going the usual colonial strat is always better.

it can only work against nubs that don't pay attention.

whats the boxer rebellion rush??

I assume its spaming 1 unit and sending a rebellion card to have a cost effective army, but what exactly is the boxer  rebellion rush??

China has a unique card called "Boxer Rebellion" that makes their Irregulars and Sentries no longer lose hitpoints over time. So, you send that in as your first card and call out the Irregulars and Sentries, and attack your enemy.

The problem is, Irregulars and Sentries have this penalty vs villies that makes it impossible to score a single villie kill before it can retreat to the TC. I never realised that until I tried it, which was retarded of me.

GHMatt has it on his site.

it's a strat that you(as China) send the card that allow you to send minuteman(irregulars and sentries) from villages and the card that make minuteman not to lose HP, so you atk on very early colonial

The costs for calling out the Irregulars and Sentries from the villages are appalling. I dunno if you've tried it, Marlonsm, but it's 80 food+80 coin for 2 Sentries (from the villages) and 50 food+50 coin for 2 Irregulars from there.

Overall not worth it, definitely not in a real match, I would only ever use it when messing about on a FFA.

if your opponent is a noob, you could keep pulling back and going in again to get settlers, i have done this in early colonial and killed most settlers, but realistically, these rushes = epic fail

If my opponent was retarded, me thinks. Even Corporals might be able to deal with this silly rush.  ^_^

they would, When I was a corp not too long ago, people would do minuteman rushes, and they lost badly, I always seem to lose to a good turtler, cuz I hate pulling back my main army
