I'm glad I'm not a nit or a bish, they don't stand a chance against these odds!

Yeah, I saw that too, and couldn't believe it! I wonder why we Rooks always are the numerical underdogs?

Looks like the Rooks are a satanic cult to me.

not that that's a surprise or anything.

Looks to me like the Rooks are getting tired of playing defense most of the time on the large map.

The strategy of having resets by capturing bases is no longer viable with this situation, or Rooks are going to lose interest in playing the game, imo.


The whole reset parameters shoud be looked at closely, perhaps adjust the base capture concept to one which relies more heavily on strategic losses, including, but not limited to a set # of planes shot down.  I like the idea of having statistical presets, beyond which a "country" wins or loses the "war."    

Well, better stop now, 'cause I don't know much about computers, or how hard it might be to make a change like this, or even if anyone wants it.  Just my opinion, FWIW.  Sure hate to see the Rooks thinning out so much.

Big salute to the Bishop and Knight players who came over to help the Rooks.

FYI, been a Knight since the days when the Knights were the "Red-headed step child" of AH.  I began building the Knights numbers when I started recruiting squadmates from the ranks of Bish and Rooks. :D  Of course, we're speaking of peak online numbers of 70-80 players then...
