Brilliant base take! Bad use of captured base?
« on: March 18, 2008, 06:09:50 PM »
A couple of days ago The Knights captured base 66 deep in the heart of Bishop territory. They snuck a cv all the way there. Must have taken hours and no one gave it away. That's incredible! I'm not sure how long they had it before I noticed. I had just come on. Gave the Bishops a shout that the base had been capture and headed that way in B24s. What I noticed next through me for a loop. Did they use the base to capture the large base a66, nope, did they use it to capture another very close base, nope. They used it to do milk runs to the closest factory.  :rofl I know there had to be some frustrated Knights on who thought that their brilliant capture would lead to more base captures. But the only ones that showed up were the milk runners. Personally I don't care if a player milk runs. However you enjoy the game is my motto. Still though, I would have loved being a fly on the wall over that.

<S> to those disciplined Knights that captured that base.

As a Knight since starting here I can say with certainty that  when it comes to base captures the Knights often show moments of
sheer brilliance often followed by complete stupidity.

One of the most common I see is in taking a base. then not sticking around long enough for the town to start popping thus enabling the base to be recaptured in a matter of minutes by the opposing side.

Trust me, that applies to Rooks and I am sure bish as well.

after each base capture near enemy Strat Targets I like to see how many up lancs/stuka/110 to head straight for them. I fly bish so it's expected.
