Ive been having the AH addiction for about 5 years now. Although our squad usually flies Rook, we have no problem switching if we find fun elsewhere.
I cannot count how many times Ive seen whines of " Team XXX never fights Team YYY". All of which I can promise you came from these possesed map watchers that insist they are loosing just because they have no or little real estate on the map. In short, if one star becomes slightly out of alignment, the universe comes crashing down on them.
You guys that are new or somewhat new to this game, I say this because folks that have been at this for years and years have been here enough to know better that these situations allthough sucky, always go full circle. I can bet a year paid subscription to AH to point out that all these guys pointing to conspiracy would have absolutely no problems with the fact if was THEM doing the ganging.
Just looking at that map, even though you had limited resources I see tons of potential to have fun. (A18 is not even touched is the first thing that comes to mind). If real estate is on your mind heres some good advice:
Pork: You would be amazed how killing ords at a base reduces the rush. Furthermore killing barracks. It is much easier and takes less guys to disable their resources than it is for them to ressuply and get them back. Doing so buys you plenty of time to mount an offensive.
Stir it up elsewhere: Again A18 would be a good resource to open up another front of attack deeper in the other guys territory. Spread the enemy out. Though it does take a team effort, it can be very effective.
