Guys, lets try to stay civil here, no need for the name calling.
This was a fun weekend in Orange, the TT map was up starting Friday evening as was a stalemate this morning as I hurried off to work.
Over this weekend I organized a number of missions all over the map. We did take the TT airfield from the bish twice, and once from the knits. (and once at the same time)
When the TT airfields were captured, I stopped short of running missions to take the TT V-bases. I directed (as if) the Rooks NOT to organize a take of the V-bases, and they were left alone. I wanted to try JUST KILLING TROOPS on the v-base, but leaving them up for the GV crowd.
Well, we did exactly that, killed the troops at the corresponding v-base. Came back to find a couple of M3's trying to make their way over and blasted them. Typed on 200 we would leave TT v-base alone and not to try and take back the a-field with M3's, (for the most part I got the 'in your ear' and 'there is no gentlemans agreement'.)
Anyway, each morning I would wake up to find the airbases taken back by their respective country. I have no doubt that when troops came back up at the v-base, they just ran an M3 (DOWNHILL) backed by tanks at the crest to shoot down the town.
So it doesn't work, there is no gentlemans agreement inferred or otherwise. In order to have the TT airfield, YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE CORRESPONDING VBASE....or u just loose the capture back.
I still favor my idea for TT which is this:
1. make v-bases uncapturable and make one of the periphery (currently uncapturable) capturable.....trade one for the other.
2. remove the spawns between the vbases and airbases on TT island.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE CENTER ON THIS MAP TO WIN THE TT MAP. People can say 'griefer' or, been playing for 5 years and never was before, whatever. That was before the uncapturable bases on the periphery were added, that was before this new 'win' situation was established. The two styles of play are incompatible. (and because the win the war guys are inherently more organized, the TT gv'ers will loose out)
