Now I am not saying I know more about war tactics than the average joe. But being in two wars defending the Pines/Pinos fort all I can say is Absichtspfeil Absichtspfeil Absichtspfeil!!! This is a tactical term generally meaning intended direction of movement of a unit in combat. During the first re occupation attempt today I finally managed to get about six people to go around the back of the fort in order to split the enemy forces. Guess what, it worked. The second battle of today I gave up in frustration. It seems the time honed tradition of attacking full force from one direction a.k.a. throwing bodies at the problem was all anyone wished to do. I literally walked around the fort and stood behind the opposing Sytris forces and killed two before they figured out I was even there. I gave up and logged off after that since I had no wish to partake in the full frontal assault.
Here is a crude digram showing my idea for trying to recapture the fort.
