.:iGi:.U.G.H. · Post by **.:iGi:.U.G.H.** » 2007-03-13 22:19

Yeah!

I remember we had a draw on CP Abadan last time.

Great game lads!

I missed most of Hills of Hamyong, as my screen went KIA about 5 minutes in, and I had to grab one off another computer.

See you all at the next one!

well.. good games everyone.. there was a bit too much fooling around in the last round and people leaving the server, but overall, it was fun

Must say that the first attack the chinese did on northbridge (OGT) was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.... Me and Mr.Whitlow had an OP set up in a crater and watched the east.... Mr Whitlow reported that he might have spotted something to the NE but he then said that he was wrong... five seconds later all hell broke lose.... arty hit us hard and as the first shells hit the ground 20 meters away both me and Whitlow were shot in the head, and as we watch our bodies on the ground we could see a full chinese squad advance onto the flag. Awesome!

Thanks everybody for a great game!

(delete my other thread... I should have replied here)

Incredible. I've played BF2 on pub servers and recently started playing PR on pub servers. But this was absolutely amazing. I hope you organize more of these. This is the best fun I have had in BF2 ever!

I witnessed some truly elite team work and enjoyed every minute

Yeah I think next time we either need shorter rounds or play less rounds. People seem to drift away after a couple of rounds.

Also, I want to know who decided it'd be a good idea to make me a squad leader! I specifically asked not to be a squad leader! And I was the first person to reply to the sign up!

Ah well, t'was a great deal of fun, and my squad fought hard and worked well, despite my inept leadership. Good work lads!

Now I just kinda wandered in guessing the password

See that's why you were a good leader. You didn't yell at my noob mistakes being on my second week of PR. Had lots of fun with you as SL and I'll vote for you next time

On a side note I joined a squad with a Hx. SL the last five minutes. That was some tight squad leading. She (I think) even told us to remember to reload before we stormed a flag. A lot of communication in that squad. Those few minutes impressed me a great deal... it seems the PR community is all about team work.

Good games all, enjoyed it all the way through.
Last round got a bit boring in the end, but overall was good. Shorter rounds though would be better.

was a awsome game! espicaly on OGT, i cant belive it was acutrly a full draw, all of us counting down the tickets on TS and it kept on switching but in the end i couldnt belive it said draw

was such a awsome game, although most of the fighting was done for the north and south bridge, the fighting still took place all over the map

also well done to my squad, and the team, very nice game!

Yeah I think 30min rounds would be better so we can hold more people. 1.5hours seems to be a better length of time to hold that number of people.

I think 2 maps / rounds would have been better than 3

I think the main problem was that with airport brits had no where to get h-AT to take out the tank...

Freshmeat · Post by **Freshmeat** » 2007-03-13 22:48

Ye make it once the Tank is destroyed thats it its not gonna spawn back...........other than That Great night, My wee heart was thumping non stop ON OGT, HoH Was Non stop Action And well i lost all hope on Airport UNtill the last 10 sec When the MEC lost 3 tickets GREAT

After Action Report - Tuesday March 13th iGi Teamwork Night#3 1730-1930h

Operation Ghost Train
By far I thought the best round in the series. The following is a little detail of the game. Our squad (Helix) made our way to the river and acquired a RIB. We embarked down the river, on the way encountering 2 enemy landrovers that apparently didnt see us. We made landfall near the tunnel, proceeded across the tracks and took out the british RP to north of tunnel. Our squad leader norhawk made an RP and we head towards north bridge. On the way we took out the enemies RP. We saw large troops movements near the North bridge bunker and causitously approached in extended line formation. Just barely visible we saw 2 troops taking up position in a crater watching their squads back. Norhawk called section headquarters to send a barrage down onto the enemies position. As soon as the first shell hit, our squad took out the sentury guarding the enemy squads back, and we moved in, using a bunker buster to mangle the troops in the hardened position who managed to survive the artillery. From there, we defended and fought around north bridge for most of the round (I wont bore you with the rest of the details) Overall, great round, well played!!!! It was incredibly annoying that the round ended with a timer. I recommend removing the timer from all future nights, as it does not help at all. I would rather play 1 map for 2 hours than 3 maps for 3 hours. Its alot more intense and if you get a good commander (more on this in a sec) than you could actually makes plans before the round begins.

Hills of Hamgyong
Well fought British! You really did a good job in the initial push, caught us off guard. Unfortunately our squad had technical difficulties as well as severe problems at platoon headquarters so our defense plan was less than optimal. Our squad was tasked with holding central defense, we held it as long as we could, but eventually the sheer numbers overwhelmed us. Then we were in a mixed defense at magasine and forest while some other squads choose to randomly fight wherever they felt like. We had a complete breakdown of upper command, this is when the PLA team began to crack. There was no order, it was just chaos. It turned into a fragfest, I saw some squads trying to hold things together but mostly it was just run and gunning. Our squad did our part, we made several pushes onto the forest area and at one point pushed the british right out. I think it was hard fought on both sides, and just goes to show you, superior organisation will win the day.

Airport
I stopped playing this map halfway through, in my opinion it turned into a deathmatch and it was not fun at all. I do not recommend putting this map on rotation in the future.

British CO
excellent work, espcially on hamgyong, alot of times your arty was bang on. I think I died by artillery in that map more than anything else.

China CO
This brings me to the last point of this AAR, which will become a rant. Now this is not directed only at you orangez, this is to all Commanders, in an organised game or otherwise. If your not feeling up to the task of commanding and would rather just play as a grunt, PLEASE do the following:
-inform your squad leaders that you are stepping down from CO, and that someone needs to fill the position.
-GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE POSITION and let someone who wants to play the role do it.

Im sorry orangez but I only felt frustration at your commanding throughout the whole event, and I wasnt even a SL! Perhaps your new to commanding, I hope you learned a few things and try again when you have some more experience. Micheal Denmark (a commander on these forums) would probably be more than happy to help you train. The problems I saw:
- gave alot of commands far too late, telling squads to attack points when we had already lost the previous ones
- did not drop enough artillery when the enemy was hammering us with theirs
- did not dropp enough supplies on vital maps like ghost train
- not enough shield and sword tactics (squads mutually supporting each other)
- FIGHTING in person for most of the round on the frontlines of hamgyong. this is a HUGE no-no, ESPECIALLY on this map where the commander is critical for success of china. A bad commander almost certainly dooms the chinese, becaues you must bleed the british tickets to at least even of your tickets, and that means holding the line at all cost!
- SNIPING ON HAMGYONG WHILE IN THE COMMANDER POSITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is just unacceptable and its why Im being so harsh on you. If you dont wnat to command anymore, thats fine. But taking up a sniper rifle, that to me is like a slap in the face to all those squad leaders who are fighting hard to keep you alive and keep our team assets operational. Only for you to completely ignore the team for some quick kills. If I had the ability I would have booted you from the server for that.

In the end, I was only a grunt and did not see the whole story, so I apologize if there was things beyond what I could see on the ground. But just an idea to all future commanders out there, get some practice in before attempting to command on a community night! This doesnt mean you should be scared away from the position, but you should know the basic fundamentals of commanding before stepping up to such a role.

Improvements for next event
- No time limit, it really cheapens the feel of the round when it just arbitrarily ends, especially if you feel your team was just about to make a big push.
- More notice and more organisation of squads pre-event. Would like to see commanders more active in making battle plans and tactics.
- Bigger maps so that more shield and sword tactics can be employed and less spammy shit.
- More iGi taking leadership roles. Lead by example. This also is a very good way to recruit members for your clan, its very impressive to see clans that do this.

Anyways, it was alot of fun and Ill be sure to attend the next iGi event. maybe next time I will step up for commander and you guys can have a shot at me lol
