Help with Arco

[Unwise]

Following the example of my hated foe, 100_yard_stare (otherwise known as the Most Honorable He Who Will Soon Buy Me Beer), I would like to thank you guys for your advice.

This afternoon while pretending to watch the kids while my wife was in class, I played a quick game against an easy AI Version of my impending opponents. Implementing your hints I was able grind them beneath my elephantine feet while hardly ever routing... much.

Truly your collective wisdom is stupendous, and as I move out of the newbie stage, take my place in the board-sponsored MP games and begin to smite you in a most egregious fashion, I hope you will be able to look back on the service you did me now and not feel too much despair.
