Will do my best to follow the Nomad into Nomads land

Ok, so... I see in the first post of this thread, we have a practice a 8:30pm now. I also see later in a later post is says the practice was half an hour ago and there were sign ups...

But clearly... only half our team is online... I'm confused. Whats going on. Can we please have ONE SPOT where dates and times are listed, and if they change, please make sure that spot is updated.

Guys, it's pretty simple:

We have a GRRR SQUAD full practice on Tuesdays.
We have CLAN MATCH practices on Wednesdays.

Since this is the first practice and we are already past Tuesday and Wednesday, we decided to do it on Thursday.

And, since we are playing the Nutz team, we are practicing alone.

--------------------

Seems everyone is delayed from work, but we'll start now: 9PM.
Lee couldn't make it, his internet was down.
Neither could Drag or Lep, travel and work commitments.

--------------------


Thanks for your time guys, I think it was successful. We got a decent amount of guys on the maps and we have a good base to work from in the season. In addition, we managed to sort out the server set ups and Phatso has briefed himself with the way of the server - thanks Phats!

Dry is trying to get the TAC map strategy illustration thing working and I think it will be a great help. If we don't manage to get it working for everyone at once, I'll make sure we record our strategies and post them for reference. Let's all have a sleep on it and let it all sink in, I'm sure we'll have much to discuss during the weekend and after the game.

For those players who's partner was not present, please make an effort to brief them (I will try as well). Otherwise, let's try play with our partners in the roles we have planned. Most of all, have fun with it.

Sorry for dropping while we were busy with Tehran highway but I think I got the basics of it.

6 players were there for most of the prac so we have a solid foundation but to Hubris's point, the partners, this actually only affected the "Armour and Security squad" we should log on early on Sunday to make sure everyone is on the same page.

It might even be useful for Murgs to drive the tank instead of Lep just for this game as he know the routes and preferred position for the maps, if those routes/position become irrelevant then Lep can resume as driver as we adapt to the game play.


Also it was decided to avoid confusion to use the following naming conventions

For Flags we use : Alpha, Bravo, Charlie etc

Alpha squad : Vanguard squad :Attacking/Frontline/Roaming
Bravo squad: Support Squad : Holding Positions/Supply etc
Charlie: Security squad : Tank squad with Security personnel to repair and help the armour take position

This is to avoid confusion when someone says "go to Alpha", does that mean the squad or the flag. It also reinforces the function of squad



Here are also the main points I got out of the prac at a very high level

Grand Bazaar
============
Armour to use the Highway side of the map, especially the high side when trying to get the back flag.
Basic strat is to get the closest flag at the begining of each round, then for Vanguard and Support to move up to Bravo flag, with support of Armour shooting down the passage.
Security Squad to move up a long the highway to get to the back flag, main objective is to take their armour out.


Sienne Crossing.
======================
AS Russia we get Delta Flag first, followed by Charlie Flag. We ignore Alpha as a sqaud can defend Charlie plus pin down enemy spawning at Alpha as there is a clear line of vision. Bravo is the last flag to get


As USA we go straight for Alpha and Charlie, setup postion to hold charlie while we also attempt to get Bravo, Delta flag is the flag we ignore.


Tehran Highway
==================
I missed some of this so if the plans changed then correct me. Vanguard and Support are to head for Bravo Flag. There is a Heavy Tank and BMP to the Security squad will need occupy both the armour.

The security squad it to use the elevated roads to provide cover for Bravo and stop the enemy from advancing.

Sorry I couldn’t be there guys - my line @ home has been completely down for 2 days now, I'm trying desperately to get it all sorted out as quickly as possible.

Strats read and understood, Bossman Hubris. I have played as Spanner Monkey for tanks for many years in clannies when required, so with a driver like Leppy, I'm sure I can contribute towards armour domination. Can I also suggest that if you need a ninja at any stage that you let me know - that has always been my number 1 role in clannies. In this regard, would it be better for someone other than Leppy to be SL in Charlie squad since spawns are restricted to SL only? This allows that person to make the ninja run whenever it's called. I'm not sure how this would affect being able to spawn on/near the tank if required though.

/1.5 cents

EDIT: Apologies, I see murgs is SL for Charlie - he should be ready to ninja as the command comes through then. If Lee's line is still down, I am happy to fill in for him with Nom or to take murgs' place so that he can move with Nom (murgs being a much better pwner than I).

[Hubris]

Cool we didn't end up testing a spawn beacon under the SL spawn only setting. Must have slipped mind. If anyone is around tonight I'll need some help from at least one guy to close that issue off. I'm spending my Friday night in tonight mapping out our strats on ATC - will post finished product late tonight.

I think if Lee doesn't play, Pmurgs will join Nom in the Support squad. I agree, we will need a dedicated spawn beacon ninja and I really would prefer Dry to focus on Engineer. So if Lee can't make it, J0nny please would you play all 3 maps and take that role in the Security squad as required. The gunner for the tank would then be rotated between the seniors.

I noticed there are really good routes on Grand Bazaar to conduct ninja runs from between base and pretty much anywhere on the map by skirting around the outside tunnels. Should provide more than enough cover and space to place that beacon. The other two maps are a bit tougher.

I'm taking an expensive Cisco Router with an ADSL card home tongiht to see if my DSL router is causing a problem . . . coss fingaz

[DryMan]

NOH!

Myself and Phats tested the spawn beacon. It works. We could spawn both on SL and the beacon.

K, Stef, as soon as I'm done today I'll be home and ready to do runs through the maps to check out ninja routes and help with anything else. Got tomorrow off, so can stay on for as long as needed.
