It would seem to me that everone is looking at this wrong.......
The fundamental problem is nits lack organization and leadership.
Mr. Joker

About 90% of the time over the last year or so, organization & leadership are not the problem....knights trying to plug the gigantic holes on both fronts of the hemmorraging of bases by 3 and 4 full darbar attacks is the problem. If you fly on this side, you'd see it clearly.
It's kind of hard to put any kind of offensive operation together when your busy defending vs a 25-100+ number imbalance in primetime on both fronts.
History shows there are extremely few nations ever able to make much of a small, localized offensive--all the while--they are getting slaughtered by massive numbers everywhere else. It's a bandaid when your country really needs an ER, a blood transfusion, and 125 stitches.
It's not hard for any side to steamroll another with numbers. When numbers are relatively even (like last night---for the first time I can remember in almost a year) it CAN be said that if knights fail to organize
then, it CAN be their own fault.
Saturday & Sunday both sides had us by 25+ and we were still taking bases. Not by missions mind you, but by what one knight said as..."we're taking more bases --BY ACCIDENT---lately than by anything else."
However, on this and other threads, anyone, anywhere, on any side that bring leadership, organize, or do anything in the game
besides furball are considered "lame", "hoarders", "armchair generals", and to be looked down on as if they were vermin or insects. If you aren't a furballer---out for your own rank and score--then you are either supposed to quit the game--OR--prepare to get flamed and roasted where ever you go by those who do. But you probably know that already.
Bronk said it best---if you are sick of getting nailed by high ENY---move the squad. I can't remember us even having a SMALL ENY in the last year in LW, and perk rides are usually pretty cheap. C'mon over! Bring your guys over! We'd be honored to have you!

Good Luck, whatever you decide

PS....Since I am so "timid and lame as a hoarder"....as you put it...please ALSO explain to the unwashed as to the reason you LIVE IN FEAR of it and HATE it so much?
BTW: Since you hate it so much...I will rest, assured that, I will look to the roster and point every future mission I post/plan/execute directly down your throat. Hope you enjoy them.
