Heya Rude

If furballing is the most important thing to you then perhaps consider swapping to another country that does have a fight on, or use the CT which nearly always have good 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2 etc.

I'm a strat guy but when I do play I never fail to find a fight, apart from on Pizza map that is.  If a field is porked then we resup it, an entire squad resupping a field only takes about 10 minutes.  A few weeks back Swoop and I and a non-squaddie kept taking C47s into a furball area to resup a field.  We managed to get in and resup it a few times each although it was incredibly hairy! ;)

that is exactly the problem with infinity; you have to go somewhere else or skip a week due only to the map not having variety (as in festerama map). Not everyone enjoys ganging bases for captures sake, some enjoy the furball, some actual acm, some gv's etc. Infinity forces gang bang style flying due to the "natural" mountain barriers; it also forces long flights to get to any fight (save to a nearby cv) as well as time-wasting flights over huge mountains. The maps should allow for much more variety of conditions. If this map got tossed you'd never hear a pip of complaining from me.

The might Voss ... err ... Metatron spews forth an abundance of knowledge ...  :rolleyes:

Nits slit their own throats when we sliced thru the middle of the map and cut off the bish from the rooks. This always results in a massive ganging of the country that created the divide.

I forget which night it was, but once we had created the split, the numbers for both the bish and rooks went thru the roof and the bish started rolling the north and the rooks got a sneak foothold in the west. At this point the knits we screwed and started running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Ergo, your "lack of resistance".

Cooperation in knitland is no different than in any other country when the numbers gang start rollin'. I have seen rooks log in massive numbers and roll over like a beached whale when under the same conditions ... more so than the bish ... at least the bish know how to fight. Rooks can't do sqaut unless they have numbers.

Invinity for some reason is the map of the hordes. Pizza rarely has the "hordes".

Some little quirk in the map, I don't know what it is that brings out the hordes. It's not the map size. If it was than big isles and pizza would be carbon copies.

More than not the South East corner becomes the horde center on that map everytime it's up.

I think it's the funnel feature, everything squeezed into channels.

Of course that's just my opinion, opinion may vary.

Beet1e agrees with me in this.

Don't ya beet ??

If you think about it, that pretty much sums up the score-potato, spawn camper, no-risk idea of AH fun.

And posted by one of the spokespersons of that ideology, as well.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!
