Description:
Inspired by 'Elite' and 'Giga Speed', RUSH features faster game play with a shorter turn time:

4 worms per team / 15 second turns / 6 minute sudden death
∞ Mole Bomb / ★★☆☆☆ Shotgun / Rope knocking allowed


History:  I was introduced to the scheme 'Giga WA Speed v3.0' in the summer of 2005 for a German league called Giga Liga.  Among the schemes being played in this league's WA division were TTRR, Elite, Roper, Bng, RopeRace, Team17, and Shopper, but I was most intrigued by the last one, a new scheme called Speed.

Speed              vs  Elite
3 Shotgun              ∞ Shotgun
∞ Mole Bomb         0 Mole Bomb
1 Super Sheep        Super Weapon Enabled

I really liked the ∞ Mole Bomb for maneuverability and the 3 Shotgun for addressing its overpowered nature.

Googling 'Giga Liga' actually links to a TV Broadcast youtube video of the GIGA Liga Grand Slam4 - 04.06.2005 - Worms Armageddon - Tradacee vs. Nakra.  Check it out

What is RUSH?  I wanted to bring back ∞ Mole Bomb and instead of 3 Shotgun, I lowered its power to ★★☆☆☆ to allow for infinite Shotgun and its nice 2 shot utility.  I also wanted to lower the turn time just a little bit for different gameplay and in turn reduced the SD timer to 6 minutes to closely match the turn ratio in Elite.  I also wanted to try allowing Rope Knocking to go with the theme of RUSH and its slightly more hectic style.
