For the first two years I played, Rooks were always outnumbered and those who were playing will recall it was an issue. For those years I played only on the Rooks and I tried do my part to help.
I recall how well rook squads like the 81st would give hours of their playing time just to kill barracks, fuel, and ord in order to keep us from being rolled back by the overwhelming numbers.
Whenever enough people were willing to work together and disable nme resources, the lines would generally hold. And whenever people didn't care and just milled around, we hopefully had fun while we were rolled over and reset.
The welfare of my old home team depends on the welfare of the game, so I play on the side of the out-numbered these days. I play for the green side and it may turn out to be Rooks, Knights, or Bishop.
More often than not, too few people on the out-numbered side care enough to fly the simple missions to disable nme resources, and so the side gets over-run. Sunday night, enough Bishops flew those simple missions and disabled troops and the Rook attack could not get rolling.
A half dozen players giving a few minutes of their game time to strafe down barracks can prevent the horde from rolling over the outnumbered side. It is that simple.
When a country gets over-run, the fault lies with that country, because it is easily preventable. Barracks are easier to kill in AH2 than they were in AH1.
