The sad thing is...about 15 of the 20 would be dead within 30 seconds because 3/4 of the hordes put together aren't taught ACM and are in 110s...the commander saying to them "Spray at the brown buildings with all your ammo"

Because there is no "win" there, there wouldn't be enough left from all the HOs and rams and lawndarts to capture the base, so nobody wins.

God forbid Rook/Knits actually defending?  Is that what you just said?  Or is it that leaders are only born Bishop?  And you're upset because you have nobody to lead you?


Figure thats all a "lemming" would get out of that post

I think you guys got a point.  AHII is supposed to be a simulation of WWII combat and, since there is no evidence at all that forces were ever massed together to overwhelm the enemy we should make this practice verboten  After all, we wouldn't want AH to be unrealistic.

this isn't war, it's a game. It's supposed to be fun, war isn't- neither is being horded.

The AH war goes on 24/7 you losing a base because you are outnumbered at that one Base (or even on the hole front) is nothing to worry about... go in do your killing and enjoy it.  if you cant kill people to your liking you need to change the way you kill people.

I don't tune 200 and why would it be announced when your taking back your own bases most of the time. Don't take the base , if you cant defend it, and don't knock a horde unless you have tried it, horde NOE missions Rule :rock.

Heck, bring on the Hordlings! I love to play defender, help turn the tables and sink the Bish CV, and send 'em running for their Mommies! Being continuously vulched on the runways by the horders is enough to make you cuss and throw things, but it does sweeten the victory once you've managed to climb out successfully and reduce 2 or 3 of the attackers to falling airplane bits!

Nothing is to come about talking about it. Hordes will never cease to end.

Who really cares anymore, just do what you do.  Expect to be shot down repeatedly and ridiculed though.  Then go try to find more people to hide with.  You'll still get shot down. 

Oh and Waystin, before spouting off in emoticons about something retarded, remember this is not war, a simulation of world war two or supposed to re-create WW2.  It's purely a game using WW2 vehicles and planes.  The only thing that can even remotely be compared to that are scenarios, never, ever the gameplay of the MA. 

But like I said, just do what you guys do.  You do it well... well, not really...
