The suggestion is a little more sophisticated than that. Minimal time
under certain circumstances: for example, one mechanism would be that
whenever you move into an enemy's ZOC, you cannot move that unit again 
for some period of time. This would give the enemy a change to respond 
to rush attacks.

I don't know if it's a good idea, but it seems an interesting one to
try out.
