In [[video game]]s, '''rushing''' is a battle tactic similar to the [[blitzkrieg]] or the [[human wave attack]] tactics in real-world ground [[warfare]], in which speed and surprise are used to overwhelm and/or cripple an enemy's ability to wage war, usually before the enemy is able to achieve an effective buildup of sizable defensive and/or expansionist capabilities.

In the majority of cases, these units are fast and cheap to enable larger numbers and opportunistic attack strategies, but they may sometimes be chosen to exploit a particular weakness of the enemy. The player who rushes may sacrifice options such as long-term resource gathering, defense, or immediate research up the [[tech tree]] to opt instead for a quick strike, usually putting the rushing player at a severe disadvantage should the rush be unsuccessful. A successful rush usually attempts to disrupt the resource gathering of the defending player or annihilate that player entirely. The rush is a risky tactic. If the rush is successful, then the player may have won the game or significantly set his or her opponent back; if the rush fails, then the rushing player may have lost valuable time and resources that would have been better spent on research, building defenses, and building more powerful units. A rush can also be considered a mass attack with primarily only one type of unit used, and depends on overwhelming numbers and force to succeed. The rush is often a [[suicide charge|suicidal]] attack (for the units involved); rushing units are often expected to die, but to nevertheless benefit the player initiating the rush by disrupting the opponent's operations. ==Alpha Strike== An '''alpha strike''' denotes an all-out attack launched in hopes of achieving a decisive advantage.<ref>{{cite book|title=Playing to Win: Becoming the Champion|last=Sirlin|first=David|page=44|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=yTPvW4r3kQsC&pg=PA44&dq=%22alpha+strike%22&hl=en&ei=Vv65TdyrOuLu0gHc2vzgDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=%22alpha%20strike%22&f=false|isbn=978-1-4116-6679-5|publisher=lulu.com|year=2006}}</ref> This is usually considered a risky tactic, as if the attacker fails to gain a decisive advantage, it can leave the attacker's units overextended and vulnerable to [[counter-attack]].
