How do I Beat Back Rush Tactics?

I'd say the scout rush tactic has a reasonable chance of working simply due to carelessness on the part of the other player, but since it can be stopped by only 1PD it certainly is a bit risky.

I say this because I often forget to build PD and often lose provinces to enemy scouts. Grr!

Maybe you should try it against monkey PD, even 100 monkey PD can't stop a lone scout

And yeah, I can definitely sympathize with carelessness :S

Can't you attack the rushing army head on with a scout set to retreat and have a chance of forcing him to stay in his province? I'm not sure what the odds are, but they're greater than 0 if it works, and if you do it every turn you're bound to stein the opponent at least once.
