Knights and teamwork...

[Gremlin]

As a bish I couldnt care less who wins the war.  As long as I have one unvulched field to up from and some nits and rooks to kill Ill always be happy.  I will always help out bish in whatever is needed of course but at the end of the day who cares,  unless your badly in need of 20 lousy perk points.  I would also appreciate some more gangbangin by nitrook. Saves me havin to go lookin for yas.

Knits SUCK

Have a nice day

Zeroping, alot of new players on nowadays...I made a couple missions yesterday, out of 130 knits on, I could only muster up 14 for one major assault on a defended airfield (Mission successful) but I was disappointed by the mission planner turn out.  I then became one with the rest of the knits, mindlessly furballing! (Shrugs)

Hate to say it but....it's a sad day when Snort can only muster 14.  Kinda show's the current trend in AH.

Why worry, there's at least a billion people in China that don't give a damn.

O well i know this is a pay to play game but some people like to win sometimes... NO need to flame just post your ideas and why we do this (rooks and bish too if they do this) its just very confusing sometimes
peace

I can tell you what happened in a nutshell. Simply this; certain to lose the reset, collectively, the Bishops elected to fight the Knits and not seriously oppose the Rooks. Barely a half-dozen Bish fought at A-18, the pivotal field, during the last 30 minutes.

Because the Bishops fought the Knits to a standstill, and because the Knits never expected the Rooks to galvanize as they did (this was truly remarkable too), the Rooks captured 9 or 10 Knit fields in about 30 minutes.

Indeed, the Bishops could not prevent a reset, but they could and did choose, to some extent, who won it. Furthermore, the Knights were caught by the assumption that they could capture two fields faster than the Rooks could capture 12.  Their mistake was not realizing that two fields defended by 90 Bishops is harder to capture than 10 fields defended by no more than a dozen Knights.

Kudos must go to the Rooks for their patented "Rookskrieg" attack that involved about 90% of the players, who pitched in with great gusto. I flew on most of those attacks, and it was incredibly well organized. As many as 4 goons were standing by for each field. Understand that there was no centralized command structure. Everyone knew what they had to do, and did it without hesitation. Pilots didn't waste time landing, they simply augered and grabbed new planes. Yes sir, the Rooks seem to have a knack for organizing. Remember that monster B-17 raid back in tour 24? 40+ Buffs, and at least twice that many escorts!

Heh widewing.. I fly bish.. and last night we didnt need many people to defend the southernmost fields (18)..'cause them blokes only wanted to furball. I rarely saw a heavy craft or buff headed to 18 in a loooong time.

When we lost the N. most fields of home island we tried to pull an offensive.

Funniest of all was that knit/rooks didnt fight each other UNTIL A15 was lost and a reset became almost imminent. The whole night up until that point it was Bish Vs. Rook and Knit, huge bar dars all around the bish home island.. and tiny weenie bar dars in the rook/knit fronts

Bish Rule!

Those "blokes" were the ones who didn't join the "Rookskrieg". As for me, I spent much of the time before the big attack fighting Knits up at 28 and 45. When we switched to the Bish after capturing the Knit fields, about 70 rooks hit 18. I got there before the FHs went down (I killed one of them), and there were no more than 5 or 6 Bish flying there, and these were killed off in a few minutes. There wasn't much vulching as the rest of the FHs went down quickly.

My regards,
