Capping a field (movie)

[stevie]

Hi,

Me and zeph are both new players in AH2 but have some years experience from WB. Anyway, the other day we where trying to figure out on how to cap a field.

So, we destroyed a town and brought a C47. All buildings seemed down and i think all troops made it to the bunker, however the field was not capped.

What are we missing here?

See video here  (44mb).


Thanks,
stev

Are you sure you took out ALL buildings (Except that indestructible one with the lorry parked out front - its part of the supply road)? Theres two very small churches that can be tough to see if they are still up among a lot of craters.

Did you kill the town ack? (its not shooting at you directly, its the 88mm "puffy ack", but it will kill the troops)

Depending on how far from town the field is, you need to kill field ack, too.


Its always possible a bailed out pilot sits directly in his own map room... hes got a .45 colt to execute the troops as they come in . To be sure, strafe the map room before dropping troops.




Edit: I just watched the film. The thre large hangars close to the lake were still up. They look a lot like the indestructible building on the edge of town, but the are destroyable and need to be down.

all you need to do it knock out all the guns on feild and town and level town... Airfeild does not need to be leveled...

all guns have to be taken out. was on the Free Islands server last night and took two or three bases like that...

also make sure to drop your troops very close to the map room.

not as far to run and they are not as likely to be straffed.

find map room by zooming in on the map (insert and delete are default zoom keys) and find the yellow dot and drop troops near that.
