Well, if anything is to be said about the final score, it's that the coalition certainly did far better than expected. We felt overwhelmed, guys, and I'm sure many alliance pilots didn't know that. Many continuous days and nights were hard fought just to maintain what we had in hopes that we could improve our numbers, and that actually eventually came!
Example: Thanksgiving day:
blue!Overview:
Most of the campaign has been fought defensively by the coalition, after the initial opening weekend where the 'bridge' was established. The losses of 0,4 , 2,5 , 4,7 , 5,8 were only mitigated through the placement of bases and battlestations in the hopes to slow down the advanced. 3,8(FireSoul) was placed first
*right at the front* and it semi-miraculously created the wanted and needed trench warfare necessary to slow down the advance of the alliance multitude.
BS 0,9(Pardek) and the BATS of 4,10(Doomstone) were later on placed as further protective locations, covering the valuable Klingon inner planets and starbases. Thanks to these additional bases, we held. Just look at the link above for proof. Placing the BATS actually had the side effect of increasing the max DV of the hex to 20, unlike placing a BS which had no effect!. That worked out for us.
0,6?(Pardek) and 1,7(Warsears) were placed later during the great charge to 0,4, as resupply and reinforcement jumppoints for both Romulan and Klingon pilots. It worked out extremely well as 0,4 was retaken as Klingon, and it was close to the last evening's 2,2 arena. It also served as a resupply point in the retaking of 2,5 overnight.
While 2,5 was being contested during that same night, the alliance proceeded down the 27 and 29 column relatively unchallenged, taking 2 Romulan bases as well as retaking what was previously theirs at 28,6.. BS 27,11 (MadElf) was placed at around 8am EST on the last day, before retiring to bed, as a simple insurance that "it'll slow them down if they continue". By the time that I, myself, came back on at around 1pm, the coalition numbers were actually good and that territory was being retaken starting with the 27,9 base as Klingon. Another Romulan base was placed in 28,7 (FireSoul) column right at that front to ease in mission times and prevent possible numbers turn around. The end result was that front was retaken too and that base didn't do all that much.. but it was a thought.
Analysis:
This campaign was very hard and well fought.. and to be honest the coalition is calling this final result a resounding success considering how the campaign went. Kudos to all!!
it was hell.It's my personal opinion that the bases actually performed as desired, and allowed the final recovery of the coalition. Those bases didn't win the server, but they sure prevented the loss.
*7* coalition bases were placed at the cost of 75K PP for BSs and 135K PP for BATSes. I mean, wow. Really.
EDIT: Please let me know if I missed ANY of the bases placed.
