EJOD Desert 10/10/07

Catraphact · 10-10-2007, 02:31 AM

First of all....BRILLIANT game. The best I have had. Absolutely brilliant.
I would like to share this with you all.

The previous map was Assault on Mestia, and the "Militia" side had been losing in previous maps. Thats when I joined. I became commander, and led the militia team to victory. I would like to commend my team mates on that team.

Next map, was EJOD. The militia team of last round became the USMC team of EJOD. I started commanding again. Did the normal things. Squad 3 USMC became Armour (TheSKilledOne, I believe was their leader) and others became infantry. Built my command post.

I believe that the EAST CITY is the flag for USMC on this map, and I assigned my squads respectively. Those who have seen me command (maybe some of you) know that I am very vocal both in VOIP and in-game chat. I will often repeat orders and will keep updating everyone by just saying "S 1,7,6 EAST. S 4,2 WEST" in chat for example. I think the best position to be in for the USMC is to control the city. Get the Gardens, I said, "and the map is ours."

Since EJOD is such a meat-grinder and every ticket counts in that map, I only build ONE bunker at the back city flag. Gardens for MEC, Ruins for USMC. I built my customary bunker at the Ruins for the USMC.

A short while after, there was a twist in the story. I pressed the "END" button on my keyboard by mistake. It ended the BF2.exe process, and I crashed to desktop. Needless to say, I was very dismayed and annoyed. After pressing refresh 98 times (I counted), I got back into the server. I got assigned to the MEC team. I am not one to teamswitch, so, I decided to stick it out. Then, I noticed the MEC had no commander.

I became the MEC commander.

The situation was as follows:
The USMC (Team I formerly commanded) controlled the city (Ironically as per my orders). They had the Gardens. They had armour pushing up to North Desert. My team was in tatters. I resolved to turn it around. I said, "I led you into this mess by commanding the USMC, now, I'll lead you out."

And so I started.

At first, our armour kept on getting killed and we had no organisation. We did however, possess a 24 ticket lead. I kept saying, "It's not over till I say its over" trying to motivate my team. At first, I assigned two infantry squads, S3/S5 MEC to attack Gardens. They were getting slaughtered walking across the open desert. I was really annoyed. Then, an idea hit me.

"WHOLE TEAM: Hold NORTH DESERT. Preserve TICKET ADVANTAGE."

My strategy became, "Let them come to us." I assigned an armour squad and squad 4 became the APC squad. I managed to get the whole team of 31, to the North Desert to make a final stand. I got my armour in a defensive line and prepared for a bloodbath.

We did it. We managed to HOLD THE LINE. We even managed to extend our ticket advantage. By the end of the round, I had dropped 13 Supply drops on the North Desert. All AT's kits were manned. We obliterated their armour. I built NOTHING, I deployed NOTHING, in fear of losing tickets. I kept giving the team pep talks over VOIP and Team chat.

I can't believe we did it. To the USMC team that I commanded earlier: Sorry! To the MEC team that I commanded later: Brilliant comeback. I ate my own words as I said to the USMC team earlier, "Hold Gardens, and this map is ours." Once again, I commend the MEC team of that round.

I have screenshots....but I need to have 15 posts to post links...

EDIT: Second and third screenshots on Sabre's post are mine. He kindly posted them for me

awesome man its great to see commanders like this who use strategies, and to all the squad leaders that actually followed his orders: Thank You! This is what PR is all about!! Teamwork, tactics and strategy combining together to win, especially with the odds against you! Congrats!

PM me the links and I'll post them on this thread

This dam map, nobody listens. You didnt get our tank, it was on fire for at least a minute right at the end but we were still mobile and still firing away

I didn't know that. I was in a little building inside the North Desert flag, hiding, and looking at my omnipotent command screen

Also, did the USMC get another commander after I left so unceremoniously?

No there wasnt any replacement. The team was generally good, some good spotting. Not much got past on the flanks unnoticed
