I have been wondering for a while why more squad leaders don't seem to use this tactic. Case in point, a description of a battle tonight, maybe 9:30 EDT.

Hidus was the squad leader, with me, reaperassault, soulex, Globalwarming, and Doublehelix i believe were the squad members. We were laying the regular (32) player Tunis Harbor, as the team starting off with Junkyard area. We were winning the battle, and had both Junkyard and Power Station in our control, but at this point the battle was still fairly close.

We went on to attack Eastern docks, going to the eastern side in order to flank. What ensued was a long stand off and running around avoiding getting fragged by a squad on the roof above (just south of) the base. we continued to try and cap the flag, and it seemed pretty much a lost cause, as we were being killed quickly, and their entire team was there. But we kept on attacking, and were winning the fight after a while of fighting and respawning many times.

It would have been more beneficial to us, who were being attacked from the front, and also from the side and rear where we had been flanked, to retreat some and regroup. While often i see a SL backing off from the main fight, putting down a beacon or waiting for a fuller squad to be spawned, i find it disturbingly rare to have a SL actually just drop an assault of a base.

Many SLs, whether occasionally or habitually, often charge into a very overmatched area, and then rely on SMs to keep them revived, instead of turning around and looking for a better angle.

A possible solution to our struggle in Tunis; more attacking from the Junkyard side. That side tends to be weaker in my experience, and also has the advantage of having a catwalk with a safe entry point across the water. It can get you right into the action, and a possibly rocket point on the building just south of Eastern docks, where a squad can hold for a long time, and slaughter enemies on the lower ground.

Just wondering if anyone has seen this happen, or has any ideas to discuss.
