Alterac Valley Primer

If the mill is so painfully, obviously superior to the mines in every conceivably possible way, why aren't you taking it instead of going for mines?

I've always argued for this, just to keep the mill out of horde hands. Nobody else seems to ever agree with me. Though the stables-smith-mill defense is harder to run as there is no common crossroads. The other thing that makes this difficult to pull off on the opening rush is if they see the larger crowd going to mill vs bs, it's very easy for them to shift forces from BS to mill, or vice-versa

In any PuG game though, 9/10 I'll be heading to the mill.
