....and that's is the biggest problem with the game now, people just want to grab as many bases as quickly as they can. If you ran into an LTAR covered base you knew you were in for a fight. Today, the attackers would just leave and try to sneak in some place else. Taking a base the LTARs covered was a challenge. Even if it took you all night to win it, it was better than "wining the war" because you earned it.

I hope we see the LTARs come back some day, as well as that type of game play. <S> LTARs

There are no telling how many battles we had agains the LTAR's. I can remember a few nights where we spent the better part of 3 to 4 hours trying to grab that base, even with the help of other squads. They had other squads help, and it was a straight up slug fest. Nothing will be like it was back then, when real men battled it out instead of little girls running lemonade stands finding undefended bases......

Of all the Ground pounders the LTAR's were the best. The finest fights i ever had were against this group of tankers. AH is diminished now that they as a squad are gone. Fairwell <S>

Back in the day when LTAR were a Bish squad I don't ever remember them in anything other than Ostis and always on base defense.  That's why the name was LTAR (Lead To Air Ratio for the uninformed).  I remember many a day sitting with them in my own Osti. 

IIRC at some point in time they decided to switch countries and that was the beginning of the end.  It was too bad because they were and will remain legends in the game.

No offense Kilz but anything other than the Osti base defensive roll as a Bish squad wouldn't have properly upheld the legend that the original guys built.   :salute to LTAR.

none taking bro

only thing i would like to point out is i was an original LTAR. i was not there since day one but i was there when we were still knights before ever switching countries. Bish was the first move ever for LTAR

Wasn't the beginning of the end, I was determined to make sure LTAR wasn't considered to be a "Chess Piece".  ONLY a Bish Squad, ONLY a Knit squad........I wanted the squad to be known from ALL aspects, Nite, Rook, Bish.  Respect from all.

:cry one could have thought that with the GV changes the GV squads might be more popular
when a hedge stops a round or a tank or a twig tips one over there is no ground game.

I can only say it seemed that way from my perspective.  Once you guys moved I heard less and less about you.  In fact after a while I kept wondering what happened to the LTARs.

I can accept the chess piece argument but IMO all sides knew who you were and you already had the respect of everyone in the game.

Just in case should the LTAR's rise from the ranks of lost squadrons, we'll leave a light on.  :)

Careful... your so close to a motel 6 violation. :p
