When attacking an enemy field this is the correct procedure:

DO

1. Establish air cover.
2. Knock out the VH.
3. Destroy all AAA, don't forget those manned acks!
4. Knock down the town.
5. Call in the troops.

DO NOT

1. Destroy the FH or BH.
2. Pork the fuel.
3. Pork the ord.
4. Pork the troops.

The Do's are pretty self-explanitory. The Do Not's are apparently not so obvious.

1. Destroying the FH and BH should only be a pre-emptive measure against bases that are not currently under attack, to prevent re-inforcements from arriving at the MAIN battle. Given that you must have a successfull CAP ongoing at a field to capture it in the first place, downing the FH and BH is of dubious value. FURTHERMORE: You remove one of the funnest aspects of the game to many people, vulching! Most friendly pilots will NOT stick around an enemy airbase with the FH and BH down, the VH and town up, waiting and praying for bombers and goons to come. They want something to shoot at. They will leave. Also you handicap the field if/when it is successfully taken. To re-iterate, knocking down the FH is one of the most detrimental things you can do trying to capture a base. Both tactically and from a pure fun gameplay aspect.

2. Porking the fuel does nothing to stop a country from upping defensive fighters. Nothing. Only usefull as a pre-emptive measure against bases that are not currently under attack, to prevent re-inforcements from arriving at the MAIN battle.

3. Porking ord is a bit more optional, but once again, if you have local air superiority keeping buffs from upping is easy and fun. Don't hit the ord unless you can't stop the buffs from upping and killing friendly GV's.

4. Don't hit the troops. You handicap your own country from launching successfull blitzkrieg style rolling fronts. Only disable troops if you're on the defensive.

Anyone have any thoughts or comments?

Maybe....

let people play for fun the way they like to????

(Radical, i know -- but taking an electronci base on an electronic gameboard so it changes electronic color is fairly meaningless, wouldn't you say? Real people are more important than the AH war, and if they'r e having fun , who really cares?)

Of course people can play any way they want. I don't really care that much. This really was just for those who are unaware.

However...

If one agrees that the object of the game is to win the war, and that is what they are trying to accomplish, the above is good advice.

what, this thread again?

oh well....

WHAT ABOUT THE BEAVERS?

Wotan · « **Reply #4 on:** January 25, 2005, 08:01:19 PM »

Do people really spend time contemplating the proper etiquette of killing inanimate objects?

Is there a proper method to destroying static objects at undefended bases?

Isn't the objective really just to avoid human v human competition by denying other members the ability to even have fun?

Do folks really need a list of 'dos and don'ts' in this regard?

Here's a 'don't' for you.

Don't waste your time on the stupid stuff, grab your favorite plane, head to the nearest gaggle of enemy and have fun. Maybe you will be less worried about who or who didn't suicide that tool shed.

Well said, Wotan

Black Sheep · « **Reply #6 on:** January 25, 2005, 08:19:42 PM »

Gee Wotan, if you were to ask yourself, "Why would I redundantly use an inanimate object such as my computer to have to add my $.02...concerning this thread......."

But then again, so would I. But I'd be more objective, and yes Goob is stating for certain gamers and gameplay what he likes to see (although that hardly happens)

LYNX · « **Reply #7 on:** January 25, 2005, 08:29:32 PM »

Goob Ignore the vulchers or so called "furballers" comments. They make their living of us land grabber types and comtribute NOTHING constructive to anything we like to do.

I agree mostly with your idea of things. The barrack killer being our own worse enemy...on an offensive (attacking) strike.

I'll add 2 other ways.

1) With about 8 to 10 guys go noe and ignore the field all together. Blow the town to crap in 2 to 3 pass then cap meanwhile your goon that set off with you arrives and bingo 1 brand new undamaged field.

2) Have 3 sets of b 24's or 2 sets of Lancs high alt bomb the town only. With the timing right have 2 jabos + goon standing by after "Bombs away". Jabos clear up 5 to 10 remaining builds and goon drops as the jabos finish off. bingo another undamaged brand new field:aok

Thanks for adding absolutely nothing to this thread. You all are apparently against any form of organization or strategy. Sucks to be on your team. I'd guess you down FH's for no good reason except to be contrary and piss your teamies off. More power to you.

Black Sheep · « **Reply #10 on:** January 25, 2005, 08:40:48 PM »

But thats just ONE WAY TO PLAY the game. So I aint gonna pat you in the back for anything original, and for not reading my post earlier, i might just give a bif when i see you in Rook land

And if one doesn't agree?

Isnt the purpose of this game to take bases and win the war. some of the comments in this thread are pretty silly , maybe we should have air starts and all converge on furball island ....Now thats structure, a pointless mind numbing quake with WWII aircraft ........game?
