The new field and town layouts have made base captures more difficult and requires more teamwork to achive.

To capture an airfield, you must destroy all buildings and auto guns at the town just outside the base (shown as a yellow dot near the base on the clipboard map).  You must then get 10 troops into the maproom, which is located near the center of town.

To capture a vehicle base, you must destroy all auto-guns at the base and get 10 troops into the maproom (shown as a yellow dot on the base on the clipboard map).  It's also a good idea to destroy the manable guns too.

You must destroy all buildings in the town to capture.
If you dont destroy the guns then you will be killed :)
Drop from a C47 or drive and kick out 10 troops in center of town to capture.

2-  Is there such a thing as "triggering an attack" in AH? 

Not sure what you mean.

3-  I am Having a hard time locating map room on maps, any tips?

On your clipboard right click on the map scroll to town. You will see map room location by zooming in:)

4-  Is it possible to capture Field solo?

Very difficult due to timing. You would have to destroy the objects then get the troops in. By the time you destroyed all objects and drove/flew troops to the city the objects would be rebuilding

Epic triple-post Silat  :lol

Does anyone have a link to screenshots of what the maproom looks like for town and vbase?  I don't have any, but can make some at some point when I have time.

EDIT:
Made my own screenies.   :lol

Best way to figure out what the map room looks like is to up at a safe field, fly low, and look for the flat-looking building near center of town with a flag pole. Finding it in Town requires doing what men hate...looking for directions....check the street signs and follow them accordingly.  Again, you can up a vehicle in a safe location and take a tour.

Vehicle Base maproom - between radar and buildings near the middle of base



Town maproom - near center of town (follow road signs  :D)

Those are the new VB and Town maps??? The town is really spread out...but I don't see any AA.

have not played in a year and a lot has changed i would imagine. Would love to see and aerial photo of the town
