Saturday afternoon PDT.
We setup on Haybes. Walking fur's in from the FB Striker and I split, he south, me north.
The goal was to setup on the North CP by the river, and then bum rush the AB from South while we pushed the other Cps and kept the timer hot.
I got in a great position where I could over see the entire town.
We knew that there was light ews in town, it turned out to be a lone Blue Tag who had been there some time mucking about. Light EWS is not that big a deal, especially since there was no AO yet.
I noticed another Blue Tag moving in towards the North of town.
I pmed him and warned him that he was about to go into EWS range and asked him to setup his fru outside the 500m circle.
He did not respond and setup his fru at about 400m, this of course set off the HIGH EWS.
And I watched from the hill as the Allies immediately began spawning infantry.
By the time we got set and the AO dropped they were thoroughly encamped along the Northern edge of town. (He told me he was HC and not to Patronize him, ROFL
).
I think the big lesson here is, make sure everyone on the target knows how to manage EWS.
The ideal is to setup your fru about 1km out and have everyone ready and waiting to rush in in force when the AO is about to come down. Timing is pretty important. Because once the AO drops you have to wait 10 minutes before you can capture any cp. Best practice is to already be in place guarding your first CP BEFORE the AO is placed. BUT, you need to do that together, all at once, otherwise the Allies will be able to spawn up enough defence to kill off the attack as it trickles in.
Any way, I saw the pattern repeated all day yesterday. It was not a good day for the most part. But hopefully there were some lessons learned that we can apply in the future.
