I hope I have not been bickering, and I certainly do not take the opposing comments as bickering. Many valid points have been raised by both sides.

Certainly 'bickering' is a crass but perhaps not entirely inaccurate term to use. I have read multiple accounts of various albeit conflicting criterion used to classify victory or defeat. This discussion of such success requirements has dominated the forum and seems to have transposed itself over the typical, thorough and quite enjoyable detailed after action reports which community members have historically complied after a particularly vigorous bout of Armed Assault. This discourse has been quite a departure from what I'd expect from the community and I truly hope that the introduction of increased adversarial play will not infuse additional exchanges comparable to this one where victory supersedes tactical lessons. For instance, it has been stated on numerous occasions that BLUFOR's tanks were quickly destroyed (within 10 minutes of the commencing of the round). This is obviously an empirical fact and cannot be disputed. However, some individuals seem to flaunt this data as evidence of their commanding triumph. And of course it certainly is important in the general trend of the battle, but overall extremely unimportant in improving the community as a whole. What would be more educational would be for OPFOR to detail the personnel, equipment and tactics used to disable the BLUFOR tanks and offer strategic advice to community members to avoid suffering a similar fate. For instance, someone suggested deploying the tank to a hill north of the town. Would this have devoided OPFOR's anti-tank defenses, how could they have adapted. Conversely, it has been well established that BLUFOR succeeded in flanking their adversaries and controlling at least one control point. But, we don't know which direction they moved in from and how they prepared themselves for the inevitable counterattack. I hope that the high intensity variability of adversarial game play will lead to the development and teaching of more advanced tactics and not lead to significant emotional attachments to individual and informal rounds which in my opinion are excellent opportunities to teach and learn about military tactics not determine a definitive winner or loser. Because, when as a community we improve our leadership and tactical awareness we are all winners.
