This may never get answered. It's sort of like how many licks does it take to get to the juicy tootsieroll center of a tootsie pop.

The answer is 42. Then again, that's the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. According to Deep Thought.  :devil

if town ack can be resupplied, why dont we see m3 races (enemy troop vs. friendly field supplies -- from competing spawns) to resupply the town ack?

Oh, we don't...

Just because you see a lot of players doing, or not doing, something, you can't really be sure it does or does not work.

Remember the "drop troops to friendly maproom to 'reset' it" craze? Suddenly everybody was doing it and you could see it all the time. And it took almost a year until people did finally start to believe it doesn't work at all  :lol

Field ack, dar, ammo and barracks can all be brought up faster by dropping supplies. If the zone base is yours it may only take 1 or 2 drops to bring them up.... if not, it could be up to 7 depending on damage.


Town ack can never be brought up by supplies, it's a timing issue.

Friendly troops sent to the map room to reset it does not work. The map room is reset after 10 min I think although I have heard 15 before. It definitively resets once a building or ack pops up. Quite a few times I have lost a map room capture to this.
