* This is a desperation tactic sometimes deployed in ''DwarfFortress'', if whatever it is that's attacking a player's fort has wiped out the professional military (or turns up before there even ''is'' a professional military..) Dwarves have also been known to mass-stampede onto a battlefield on their own, not to attack, but to [[TooDumbToLive recover the clothing and armor]] of their dead compatriots.

** The classic Zerg rush refers to using the zerg's advantage in the early game of being able to quickly churn out weak units (e.g zerglings) to sack the enemy's base before they can set up their slower-to-build but more powerful defenses. This tactic is somewhat less cheesy than what the term has come to mean: Acting quickly with whatever troops you can muster to take advantage of a small window of opportunity, as opposed to meeting a strong opponent with a copious amount weak troops.
*** A modernised version of the classic rush [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhH2gPMR170&feature=PlayList&p=1A830D241124A3ED was witnessed in a recent Korean tournament]], where one of the players went "4-pool" (use only the initial 4 Drones, then plant a Spawning Pool) and threw a very early batch of zerglings at his opponent, who was was playing a slower standard build.
** Old fashioned Zerg Rush tactics have pretty much died in the TournamentPlay metagame. It's now all about the mutalisks, lurkers, and defilers.
*** Taken to the extreme by the Sauron Zerg endgame tactic.

** In Terran mission 9, the Zerg pull the other kind of ZergRush. Your base is placed in front of a Zerg base with orders to protect it while destroying the Protoss bases spread over the map. Except the Zerg aren't on your side and will send units over to your base to destroy it (you're allowed to kill Zerg units, but you fail the mission if you take out one of their buildings). When you've wiped out the Protoss, the Zerg un-burrow 100+ Zerglings and overrun your base.
*** Actually, any half-competent player, who [[TrialAndErrorGamePlay knows]] the attack will come, can just build half a dozen bunkers and survive the (supposedly) [[HopelessBossFight hopeless fight]] without any losses. But the taking of your base (or rather, a particular character in it) is a major plot point, so even if you do this the game will just pretend you were overrun.

** Bigger irony: while the casualties were terrible, the losses would almost certainly have been much if not for leaders trying hard *not* to get people killed or at least eager to avoid battle. McClellan essentially threw away the single most promising position of the war, with his troops in huge numbers and his guns available to pound Richmond and Johnson (later Lee). During Grant's campaign against Lee, he faced time and time again great advantages being ignored or lost by poor leadership at the Junior officer and even General officer level. The result was that the war was prolonged, eventually resulting in a shattered South and massive manpower losses - but also the complete destruction of slavery.

(The name of this trope originated in the popular real-time strategy game ''{{StarCraft}}''. However, note that "Zerg rush" in the context of strategy games has a somewhat different meaning; it refers to an attempt to produce a small handful of attacking units faster than the opponent would expect (the "rush" part of it), in hopes of crippling the opponent's economy. In early versions of ''{{StarCraft}}'', the Zerg could actually build attacking units and get them into an opponent's base before an opponent could have ''possibly'' built units to defend, hence the name.)
