You need to put everything into perspective. Firstly, not everyone cares about the real estate aspect of Aces High, some only care about it when they are in the mood to do so or while it remains fun. Secondly, we're currently playing on GIGANTIC maps where's there's literally a base or three for every player in-game. That's a lot of bases and there's no way to adequately cover them all. As a point in fact, I have seen many, many times a lil' Napoleon screech out for help at base X, players respond and in doing so abandon base Y, base X gets saved and we lose base Y which was previously securely defended. The huge maps we are currently on, incidentally or by design, are impossible to completely defend. They are a milkrunners paradise, there's always going to be some field getting bushwhacked by 5-50 guys that has no or inadequate defense for the forces arrayed against it.
