Rooks Rule!

    I beg to differ. Are you familiar with a movie called "Zulu" with Michael Caine? The story is true and they were outnumbered 10,000 to about 200 or 300 and held the numerically superior Zulu army. Granted the Zulu's only had spears and a few guns, but you can only load and shoot so fast.
    An unorganized and vastly superior unit can and will be defeated by a smaller and more organized one, so don't sing that tune. There are numerous battles in history were smaller numbers prevailed over greater numbers.

I suggest a "Zulu" scenario:

Land A: 20 players, full planeset
Land B: 500 players, flying C47 and 5 M3s
Rule: the land which shoots down more planes wins.

I can't help. I think you are an idiot or maybe you are too stoned.

by "tactical" advantage you mean having a "spy"?

No, that's strictly strategic!

When we first started getting Joint Ops going,  I figured after about two times trouncing the area,  the Bishops and Knights would follow suit and be clubbing us in return.   It still hasnt happened.    I really think our opponets are missing out on a fun experience.

{edit}
Oh yeah!  Quit peeing in the pool!!!        LOL!  
::Said with a very puffed up and pounded chest::

Ain't gonna happen. Go ahead and high five each other for beating the Knits 250 to 150, with the Bish gnashing at our ankles. Getting all those poepl together ain't easy. But to save time, just look at the roster at the beginning. If you have a numbers advantage, just declare yourselves winners and go watch TV.

The Knits had a great time. We used to have a bunch of players who complained when they were outnumbered, but most are gone now. They defected to the Bish and Rooks so they can win too.

But you should know something. Last night (sunday) the Knits won many times. You see, while you are playing the game of grab the arena, we are playing a different game. We just set our sights on a certain base and fight like hell to get it. If we get it against more players, we won. We will protect a base as best we can. When we run out of options and the base is lost, at least we tried. But if we can hold off against massive hordes until they give up, you bet we won.

You may as well be playing solitaire, because when you win a reset, we weren't playing your game. When you have such numbers, the reset is inevitable, so we don't even try. You were in affect playing with yourselves. >=o)

 Sounds really familiar.

 Sort of like those speeches us long-time Rooks used to give out to the young Rooks, who lay crushed and broken in their spirits under Knit-Bish ganging hoardes pounding them again and again day after day.

 Numbers advantage for 6 months now, eh? Well, then that means we still got 6 more months to enjoy, considering the 12 month grief we went through.

 You really should try laying the gripes out to the Bish instead of us Rooks, on the other hand. I pity the battered Knit whines seen everyday at channel 1 - we've been there before. But then again, when's the last time anyone's seen Bishies really suffer? Boy would I like to hear them moan and squeal.. that would really satisfy our sadistic Rook pleasure.. mmmm.  

 Besides, Bishies are still king of the hill in PAC time zones. 20 man advantage when the numbers are 60 : 40 : 40, is really big.

 ..

 Let's just wait the turn of the tide. Who knows? Next it may be the Knits crowned as the Queen of the Stinking Gangbang Hordes.

LOL.... joint opps... organization, strat.... what a friggin joke..  

The ONLY thing that matters from a strat point or for "winning" in AH is....  The team with the most numbers wins.

Justify that any way you like.

Your joking .. "Mr. rolleyes 2stony" ... right ? ... Please tell me you aren't seriously comparing that story to Aces High  !!!

 We're not justifying anything.

 We're just saying that to draw out every last ounce of squealing and whining from the pitiful broken chaps shedding tears over their unfortunate fate of being stuck in numberless countries - both in ch1 and the boards.

 And I must say, it's working wonderfully so far.

"Numbers advantage for 6 months now, eh? Well, then that means we still got 6 more months to enjoy, considering the 12 month grief we went through."

12 months now ... everytime the rooks try to remind everybody how long the were "in the barrel" the number gets larger and larger.

Again ... I am not complaining about the numbers ... I LIKE IT ... just don't go around spreading your feathers like a proud peacock on how your superior organization is what makes the difference. If you don't realize that its NUMBERS that wins the AH war .. you are dilusional.

Lets see this super organized RJO crack the back of the Bish on your next Subday tailgate party or is your war plan always to conquer the path of least resistance ... past history says so.

 Then you'll be glad to know I'm not dillusional. Besides, the whole purpose of this thread I presume, is to thump our chests as loudly as possible.

 Compared to the other shi* where people are blowing their heads off like how they like this terrain and how they do not, don't you think a healthy chest-thumping trolling is a lot more fun and healthier for the boards?

 Or does our shameless boasting irritate you guys? Then I think we can say that you ARE complaining indeed.. so I hope you're not irritated. Just look at the bitter and satyrical responses.. it fuels us.

 Bring it on, ol' chap. When things get worse for us, we'll come here and post some whines. Then you're welcome to come and gloat at us.

 But until that comes, I think we'll gloat some more. *huff*

Kweassa ... "don't you think a healthy chest-thumping trolling is a lot more fun and healthier for the boards? " ... you have a point there ... <>

Irritated ... me ? nah ... I don't give an S H EYE T who wins the war ... have a blast ... I am just making sure that you keep in touch with reality ...

[Honch]

I'm pretty sure the purpose of this threat was to draw out these RJO heros who think that Rooks are a superior breed - destined to dominate.

I was thinking that maybe there was something special I had to do to become part of this elite fighting force, but apparently all I have to do is go to the maproom and click a button.

Doesn't seem so elite to me after all.

Yes, I think I'll stay Knights. - Seems I'll just have to try to develop those "elite" skills on my own, and i suppose the best place to do that is when I am challenged on every sortie.

Thanks for all the comments!

     You know, that's all we needed was for someone to turn this into something personal. That statement about sums up your character and probably took an immense amount of thought on your part.

[Furious]

Honch,

As a past member of the Knights who say Ni, a squad that changed sides fairly often, you should know more than most that all the teams are full of the same crap.  All have the same groups of suicide squads, cherrypickers, timids, newbies, strat potatos, score potatos, furballers, gangers, vultchers, etc.  

Why give a crap about what any one team does or doesn't do?

I was just wondering what I have to do to become a rook.

Seems like they are having a load of fun every night in the MA and I know I'm not alone in thinking this.

Is there a form I need to fill out or some kind of skill test that I need to practice for?

You need to last a minimum of 30 seconds against fester (in your plane of choice) in the DA.
