The other three could have gone off to help with Comm or Monorail.

With respect to bleeding, it's a hard call to make even in hindsight. Should I have sat tight, or go for it? Should I have just kept up revives and won by sheer killing of the other team? Those are hard questions to answer. As for the reason you couldn't hold Comm or Monorail, I can't give any insight because I really didn't spend much time away from statue.

One thing i'd like to point out that you said is the fact that the attack on Mono allowed PAC to take Comm. This tactic to draw the other team onto a larger area of defense usually works well.

I wasn't in this round, but don't underestimate the advantage of holding Statue. It's worth dedicating a squad to it's capture and defense. From Statue you can easily attack any flag except Monorail and Pond. It's a highly defensible position. It spawns the only walker on the map, an APC up there with a Supply Crate can rain mortor hell on just about any flag. Now if the enemy never attacks you, your job is easy, granted. But if it comes to that I'd try to find some way to support your troops on the the nearby flags, and pull your squad back to the flag if needed.
