I'll add my standard defence for the flag in question, as an interesting counterweight to teh assault plans here. This is for 1 squad, but keep in mind that I believe a defense in PR should always have 2 full squads, or you will be overrun right at the moment your team caps a new flag, and the flaghopping starts. It is the logic of numbers really. Your attack works because the enemy is sending more forces to attack. It is so logical that your 1 squad defence will always fail right at that time. So usually I will set up defence like this, and then ask the CO to have another squad roaming around the hilltop estate to disrupt assaults and take out RP's.


It helps also to have the scout trow his hook on the west building so SL+medic can quickly retake their position without exposing themselves on the ladder.

After making this I realize the main weakness of my defence is Fuzzhead's strat. A spec ops can easily destroy a bunker that is placed in the normal spot. Perhaps the bunker should be put more to the center instead of next to a wall. The enemy can always sneak a spec ops over a wall before you can really react. Putting a bunker in the center more would give you a few valuable seconds.

Also this defence will always fail sooner or later against a good assaulting squad. You need someone to roam around outside the walls. Often in PR it seems the numbers of attack and defence seem opposite to real life. It seems that to defend succesfully, you need a nearly equal force compared to the attackers. In RL they say the attackin force must be about 3x the defending force. Not in PR though. I think this is because the assaulting force can use trial and error in consecutive attacks, whereas in RL you try only once and you don't get to relay intel after you die.

It would be interesting perhaps for a scrim or something to practice assault and defence on a specific flag like this.
