What effect does it have to release your own troops on your own base or town?

When you release them in the town they get drunk, start fights, and wind up with the clap.

They usually get all the sheep pregnant too.

I have heard releasing your own troops into the maproom negates any enemy troops which have gotten in before. For example if 9 enemy troops have already gotten in the maproom, they would need one more to capture. You release 10 friendly troops and they go in the maproom. Now the enemy needs 10 more for a capture instead of one more. That is the way I have always understood it.

There's usually a bar fight or two when you drop them into a maproom where enemy troops are.

You mean it doesn't reset the troops?

I do not think so. I don't see any reason it should.
The whole thing started not that long ago, suddenly the word was out that it would work that way. Unfortunately everybody has just "heard" it.

Nobody that I know of has thoroughly tested & proven it. Oh, some guys claimed the "had seen" it to work in MA, but this is hardly a proof - every now and then players claim with same vigor that hangars stay down less than 15mins or can be resupplied

If anybody would like to test it, I'd be happy to help.

Yeah I've heard that one several times and the people who say it are throughly convinced resupplying will make them pop faster, which it doesn't.

Because they drop supplies and *POOF* - the hangars are up! It's like magic...

I am indeed interested in testing that. I'll have one of my kids log onto txdad's account sometime & switch sides & test it.

This question has been coming up in the AvA recently, since we are using a map that has small airfields without towns, and it is easy for someone to up a goon and release friendly troops. I can say with 100% certainty that this does not work. Anyone doing this is wasting their time. Now for airfields with towns I do not know, but I doubt it's any different...

How would you get your own troops to go into your own maproom?

Gunpoint?
