Thread: Save the Date: TG vs. TGW scrimmage (large)

For the tie break map, we want to be as fair to both sides as possible. Just what that means is the question.

Oh I see, for the deciding maps, yes these are possibilities I guess, since in terms of positioning of UCBs to flags etc, both sides are quite equal. I think Sidi's OK, only thing is Verdun has a few too many vehicles I think, and infantry is just going to get mauled like they're holding medium-rare sirloin steaks in an Alsatian dog pound (A walker at every contestable flag ):



Of course these are both pretty vehicle-heavy maps and I feel that selecting them will perhaps shift that balance to TGW, but again, if you think it'll play differently enough...

Also I'm guessing we're having like a coin toss or something random to decide which army will be for which side on the final map?

It's a possibility, but its usefulness is arguable, especially if they get the gunship. Besides, I think we'd need Lyra and Reaper on the ground or at least gunshipping if they're in the air (that's if they're playing). I don't know many others who are good enough to ROFL with only 2 people, which apparently is the best number to have without hindering your team (that is, taking people on the ROFLCOPTER who would be more useful on the ground). There is also the issue of course that you're ridding your team of an air transport for air transport purposes.

In the end that's a call for the CO of the scrim (speaking of which, should we perhaps get volunteers and decide that ASAP? If they like a particular map and know it well it could help our decision of maps since having a CO which knows the map well is most certainly helpful).


EDIT: Did some quick maths and 60 people can be in a vehicle seat from only the vehicles at Mansion and Western Farm on Verdun (not including Rorsches). I was actually going to count all of the seats from all vehicles from the map, but I thought why carry on .
