Well, the disaster hasn't been so bad.
When I've been online and played, we've been gangbanged severly, but managed to a)defend many bases (A6 was under attack by 15+ bischtuis, and was succesfully defended by 4 knights) and b) prevent reset.
What I have found is that there are periods when no or very few knights are around, and *then* we lose a great number of bases. it seems that knights have a strong presence around 24.00 CET, but poor around 10.00-15.00 CET.
I am sure this is true to some extent with regards to rookies and bischuits, but, as I logged on just minutes ago, and as I have done on many occasions, at this time of the day, being a European, I have consistently seen say 12 bischuits, 8 rookies and 2 (two) knights.
The territory that comes with A1 might be difficult to defend, but it ain't impossible. All comes down to not being A1 focused, *and* have a presence and *good* coordination.
As far as I can tell, there's been one or two resets when the knights have owned A1. Same goes for rookies and bischuits. I think it adds an extra element, the A1 idea, one that I rather like. I like being on either side of A1, even though I don't thibnk I would volunteer for a bomber strike on it
The upside to gangbanging(and I regard is as such) is that you have a good number of enemy targets to choose from. I'll probably not fight a 2v8 fight, but a 4v8 I am more than willing to go into, knowing that my Über 190G10 is FAR superior to the pesky P-38 and the puny Sissyfires, not to mention the dweeby F4U's and the hollow, weak 51's.
