Being alone isn't that bad tho. First, the other teams think you are not a treat to them as you are alone, so they fight each other. Second, you have 2 armies. Especially a gla with power and/or having s&d really makes you having the OP army here. I played quite a few 2v2 no rush games. Made quite some great comebacks when my mate left me (nuke cannons with search and destroy wreck everything ).
