I just wanted to recap a CO round I played yesterday, also in the light of my "defense!" thread.

When I grabbed CO, we were losing north bridge and later we lost temple. All squads were very responsive. We were able to get temple back with a three squad assault to get off bleed.

Squad seven was defending the train all alone during this while under continues attack. In the end we won with about 10-20 tickets. I can tell you it was because of the cooperation we won, because the score list indicated that the opfor (with a seventh squad in them) had some huge kill ratios highly surpassing the best scoring brits.

I only have a screenshot of when we had fought back from bleed to north bridge. This position was held until the end of the game.
I had one squad (8) that was constantly wanting to attack. Therefore I used that inclination to attack and had them as the only squad attacking south bridge. They were unsuccessful in capping that cp, but it wasn't necessary to do that.



As you can see in the screen shot, you have 7 and two on the left at train & west of north bridge, then (left to right) you see 8 ready to attack south, 6 which had on flag duty, then 1 and then 9. As you can see, 6,1 and 9 were forming a line W-E.

I had given the defending squads the mission to support their neighbours, and prevent the enemy from being able to launch an assault from the north to attack north bridge from high ground.

I believe the round demonstrates the value of robust defense. The squads held this line for 20 to 30 minutes I estimate, which in BF is loooong time. All the squads saw action regularly.

9 and 6 were able to flank the enemy with deadly force at one time when the enemy took out squad 1 and was camping their rally points. 1&9 just closed the book and squashed the fly. In fact the screen shot seems to be taken right at this time. You can see that squad nine is sending over his whole squad to the west on my orders. They disengaged from the south with admirable speed. South of one there is a whole squad that is about to wipe out 1.

Thanks to all the players for a fun round. I will post this post in the defense! thread as well.
