When the first battle commences...

First thing I'm doing is getting a fast vehicle, some grenades, and some friends then will start messing with the NC and TR local bases.
Every starcraft player (or tournament watcher) knows that if you mess with the enemies economy early enough they are in for a tough time.

When the first shot is fired... make sure it's from YOUR gun.

Positive fact, the fact that the popular saying is "no plan survives contact with the enemy" rather than "when the first shot is fired...all plans go out the window" shows that the actual saying is the more widely accepted, and therefore better in terms of general popularity and acceptance. Simples. The military use the saying as a lesson to officers, I'm pretty sure if there was a generally catchier version they would have worked it out and started using it by now.
