base capture

[jtdragon]

Now that I've tried the new system for base captures I will make a few comments about it. I think it mite work out .

BUT, Everyone on a side will have to work togather more than every before.
Bish. have always had a problem with defending and now it's just as important to defend as capture. We will have to look at other bases that need to be hit (take out trps/ord) to help protect a base that can be captured. the capture order will change sometimes because another side takes a base and then we have to change the direction of out attack.

PROBLEM, Someone will have to be in charge and tell people where to go (defend this field, take out ord here, attack there}.

ANSWER, Mega Squads like we haven't seen before. Bn. size with companies and Plts. with a set chain of command.

OH, SORRY.  big Sqds are surpose to be a thing of the past.

i disagree about the big sqds issue.  with the new system, i don't see any reason why people shouldn't coordinate.....because there is high likely hood that there will be a fight on their hands.  the big squad issue was brought up because many where saying, "i have a huge squad that can't get into the arena all at once."  the reply was, that they chose to form all these extra wings, outside of the limit HT set.  so the point was, why should we cater to the huge squads when they are the ones going out of the soft rulesets. ....which oddly enough where probably set so that 1 group could not define gameplay for a larger group.  with all the new changes, everything seems to be changing a bit.  i don't think you can take an argument made under certain circumstances and apply it to different circumstance, unless you just trying to get under someone's skin.

I have never been a member of a Squad but I see a need for squad play with the new system. just got off agin and there was a complete lack of coordinate just when it was need most.
