War of the Factions - Karez Offensive - 09-04-2016

When?: 9th of April 2016 at 20:00 PRT
What?: War of the Factions event
Sign ups?:

Team one: United Kingdom Commanded by Behr
Team two: The Netherlands Commanded by Fnixer​

BASED is very pleased to announce the hosting of BASED's first real event, an event that may sound familiar for a lot of players: War of the Factions.

This fierce battle between 2 completely different factions will take place on the 3rd of April 2016 and will be hosted on BASED EU and organised by 2 experienced commanders: @Fnixer and @Behr.

But first, a short introduction or dusting off to the concept of what War of the Factions is.

War of the Factions is what exactly?

War of the Factions was originally founded back in 2014 as a project made and thought of by Wicca (who you may vaguely remember ;) ). As a PR vet that had been playing for over a decade he thought of a concept where every battle can be fought completely differently with different assets and factions together on the same map every time.


How does it work?

Every team is assigned a commander who will chose his faction and then purchase his assets. These are then placed on the map by our scripters. Every team gets 1200 tickets to spend on assets. The price completely depends on what kind of vehicle it is.
The number of tickets that remain after the vehicles are purchased will be the ticket count that the team respective starts with. Only the commanders are selected by BASED, the squad leaders and grunts will be selected by sign ups, squad leaders and commanders. The teams will ultimately be structured and organised by the commanders.

The Battle: British Faction versus Dutch Faction

By reviving the great concept of War of the Factions, we are aiming to re-live the esprit de corps that this event has provided to its players in the past. However, BASED will be now be in charge of technical and administrative support in this event, allowing us to take this event to the next level!

The Commanders for this edition of War of the Factions will be Fnixer, who will be leading the Dutch forces, and Behr, in charge of the British forces, with access to ground and air assets of each of the respective ground forces.

Unlike normal AAS that you may be used to, the map Karez Offensive (created by Wicca) features no flags. Teams will fight instead for terrain rather than cap points, similar to how real world armies fight for strategically important locations. With no designated position to attack or defend, commanders will have to place their troops carefully to establish a frontline while trying to break through that of the opposition. It will be a fight for every hill and field as each team attempts to gain the upper hand!

I commanded one of the team once against Behr and I can recommend anyone who likes PR to join this event. It is great fun especially when both commanders make proper agreements so a good battle can follow.
We are staying up!

Behr here,

I second that Pronck, proper agreements are and have been made to put player experience as priority no.1! :)

Have to point something out and that is that assets will respawn. Still needs an update so the players know what to expect. :wink: Other than that, see you on our virtual battlefield! ;) Come and join me on the British side, groups are welcome aswell.

Due to complications with the PRT having moved its date to the same date as WOTF.. WOTF has been moved to the 9th of April.

Gathering your own squad with friends is possible. :-P

How close is this map to being main-build worthy? It seems like it would be a great map for Netherlands vs. Taliban (even if they're just place-holders for whoever).
