This is just f un deck I always enjoy using with the Brits, you might already know this way of rushing, might just be something completely ordinary or whatever.

The British deck used for this deck is just like any but if the deck only needed one card, its the card that makes manors cheaper.

Start by sending 4 settlers to cut wood, send 1 to hunt, leave 1 settler for crates, starting with food and then send him to hunt, Produce as many settlers as the food crates allow you to, most of the time is 3, produce 3 settlers for XP and send them to wood (no need for a Trade Post). Build a Market for some more XP and improve hunting. By then you will probably get your first shipment, get the card for cheap manors, when arrived, you shuld have about enough for like 7 or 8 manors. Build as many as you can, then send some of the settlers to hunt, you should have about 10 settlers hunting, after building all your manors you will get anoter shipment, use it for the 3 Settler card and send them to wood, age with the "1 Outpost, 200 gold" and while you do produce 400 wood, when you do leave 1 settler cuting wood, send some to mines and to hunt. When you reach age 2, it should be about 8 minutes after you`ve started, send 1 settler to build a barrack close to your opponent then bring him back to build another one at your plac. By then you shoudl`ve gotten your 3rd shipment, use it for the card that will produce your infantry faster, start making your infantry as soon as you get it, make longbows and pikemen besides muskets if you have wood left. then attack.

 New ideas are welcome!

rofl, 8 minutes...is that like the time privates rush at?

i have a force of 50 muskets at 9 mins with brits lol

i attack with 25 at 6, defend with lbs if enemy uber rushes 

learn to defend and boom, u will probably be killed in a high ranked game at 5 rofl...

8 minutes? A decent german player can rush with about 7 uhlans and 12 crossbowmen in 7 minutes!

Sometimes even more. Usually more infantry - a lot more infantry can be made without the Uhlans too.

No offence but - FAIL. Also look around and post some more rather than your 1 post. Seriously, get some good brit ideas man. You say fast but it really is slow. Come and vs me with a brit mirror match and I'll show you how much faster british can be and I'm not even an expert with them. No offence....

way more than that

I am a decent German player, and I have 14 x-bow, 5-10 pike and 7 uhlan at just past 7 minutes, and people will be aggresive early on against brits to take their amazing eco down a notch

dont laugh everyone though, I saw a second lieutenant do something similar, and it worked all right

build lots of manors early on and you can wall off your TC and you are less likely to be succesfully raided, and it you build some outposts, you can fend off really fast rushes, and then use your eco to strike back

this is not an amazing strat, but if you do it right, it can be decent, but at least try to age by like 6:30

I think the strat is kind of weak, but if done right, its better than you think

yeah, 50 muskt is all? the rec's for the Fast-Industrial is 7:23.

And thats with crap shipments(HC lvl 0 allowed only). no 700 gold or 1000 food

by 8 minutes? hmmm, id get 9 organ guns, those ronin(20 pop), and probly the fort.

what can beat that at 8 minutes?
