Radios

[BTAutoMag]

so I'm in talks with the horde commanders about how to communicate on the field and we are working on a system.

Basicly the horde command will have a command channel open that will include the legion commanders and a few choice team leaders. Theyve already thrown talk my way about the sheer number of people we are going to have there and how to coordinate it. Idealy they want 2-3 of us linked into the command channel and then those 2-3 people to have a seperate walkie for team communication to keep command channel clutter down.

this has yet to be said but I'm assuming they want us to provide our own walkies

So I do plan on investing in 2 radios that have the ability to be incrypted as the command channel will be incrypted. if we choose to not incypt our team channel then I'll just loan the other radio to someone else for the game and borrow someones spare for the team channel.

thoughts and disscussion

Having 2 walkies to carry around is a pain for someone. And yes, they expect you to have your own walkie talkies. The best method may be for us to have our own for the AO army, and whenever someone goes back to base after being shot, they check in with the command bunker. Once doing that, the dead but soon to be reinserted person can relay plans to the group. Chances are every 5-10 minutes one of us is going to be shot out, so their should be a steady flow of dead able to check in personally with command at the reinsertion. Is my suggestion....

Or we can 'wing it' and devolve into random, mostly individual acts. Which is what seems to happen 95% of the time...

yea it happens alot. I just want us to be a concentrated force more often then not.

Zac - let's figure out if we can get 2 or three experienced people to lead us. Any ideas? (don't say me I will be too drunk and paying attention the naked HK chicks)

Can we make this a poll? I've had little success using radios.

[BTAutoMag]

i'm pretty set on at least 6-10 of us with radios

[BTAutoMag]

You know, even more of a simple Idea. I'll just leave one of our radios at command labeled AO Army. I mean, who do you call when the going's strange? who ever is with BigEvil

[skipdogg]

Most of my guys usually have radios. However, I say mostly inappropriate things into it, so not sure how well that will go over...

[BTAutoMag]

I'll put a caution sticker on the radio

I'm going to try to get my radios working this year. I didn't have any luck with them last year, though.

You think you have that problem...

In the past our small team of 4-5 leaves a radio at the command base on our channel and the general or xo coordinates us where needed on missions. It has been very succesful.

The thing to remember here is not everyone has the same interests/expectations out of the game, for example some want to run missions while others want to mow faces.

In my poor uneducated division we divide our army into whatever the army divisions are called, platoons or regiments whatever, and it makes it easier to figure out who to send where. If the mission is to hold a spot down for x time we send a team to run the mission/guard the location and another team to mow the surrounding faces.

Just my thought, maybe something to consider, maybe I'm way off

Most important thing is to be on the field at the skirmish when it is on. If you blow everything off all day taking photos, checking vendors, or just shooting the breeze...be on the field when your skirmish is on. We were the only squad that won both skirmishes last year on the Horde side. You wanna make an impact...take the skirmish in force and tear it up.

The skirmishes will be held on the badlands field this time around
