I,being the CO of Rolling Thunder will say that yes,we do go for undefended(QUIET) bases,just as many of the squads on AH do(ROOK,KNIGHT,BISHOP)..We cannot be held responsible if someone does not UP to knock it back,or if you do,you cant accomplish that goal..HUGE missions are used by every side every day.
Have I ordered my squad to leave when it turned into a 30 min furball,YES I have..Did I tell A8 that we take undefended(quiet) bases? yes I did..A8 says himself that their squad will go deep into territory to take bases,as MOST squads on AH do..
Sometimes it is a strategy to get the enemy to move from one area of contention into another,to spread out their forces,to keep them on the defensive..
There was a time,not so much now,that TAKING ANY BASE was my goal.Not so much anymore.Although I have no qualms about running missions into any base..Especially quiet ones which will help BISH to gain a foot-hold into a territory..
I do not see what the big deal is with taking bases with missions either in the middle of a fight or not..We have also taken bases(RT) by themselves and (BISH) while an area is HOT.
SO?? Does your opinion of me change if a base is taken while being defended or not?I could really care less.
I have learned watching this board for awhile now,that it does not matter how one gets anything they want to do accomplished,weather bombing a strat,bombing a field,a CV,porking,etc..etc..,as the "OTHER GUY" will always say."YOU DID NOT DO IT MY WAY SO YOU ARE SUB-PAR"...
This is a game to play as one wants to play within the parameters of the game...
To have fun as one feels is fun to them..Do not try and impress anyone,do what YOU feel is worth $15 a month and HAVE FUN DOING IT...
