Hekko 说:Some questions about the rules that I noticed in tonights linebattle:
1) Are guard infantry allowed to crouch and spread out with 1-2 man gaps? Because I saw this happen on multiple occasions.
Hekko 说:2) Are normal line infantry allowed to deliberately spread out in a line with 1-2 man gaps? Because I saw this happen at multiple occasions.
Hekko 说:3) Are artillery guards allowed to fire&reload and generally engage in behaviour similar to the battle server? Because I saw this happen on multiple occasions.
Hekko 说:4) Why is officertargeting allowed? Since charging is hamstrung by the no firing on the charge rule, tactical manouvering and shooting should be promoted, but if everyone who has experience leading gets shot at the first instant there is no one left to call the tactical manouvres.



Hekko 说:Alright, so to specify what we mean by poor administration:
The rules are made up on the go. The rules apply differently to different people. The rules change dynamically depending on whom they are being applied too.
Hekko 说:People are told to close the gaps in their line, while the line of the regiment of the admin issuing the instruction are employing deliberate mansized gaps, and not closing gaps left by casulties.
Hekko 说:Alot of people from all regiments were firing out of formation at times, yet still only two of the regiments were told-off and punished for it.
Hekko 说:The rule about people being able to fire out of formation if they were "THE last one alive" was made up on the go (no reference to this in the actual rules). However, only a couple of rounds later it was changed into that if there is no formation left they are allowed to fire out formation... which would not only imply that if everyone on a team breaks formation they are free to skirmish as much as they want but also is a long step away from "THE last one alive".
Hekko 说:I am apalled about the way this event is admined and suffice to say, we will NOT be attending these linebattles again.

Rocknok2 说:I've told you in the linebattle, and I'll mention it again. If there is no formation, The Firing out of line rule CANNOT exist in that circumstance, because there IS NO LINE.
Rocknok2 说:It is not that hard to understand at all.
3-If you are the last person alive (Or a small group) You must hold ground, or charge.
4- If you have less than 3 people left in your regiment, you must join a friendly line.
Rocknok2 说:It is the job of the admins, to clarify, and decide on grey areas.
I'm sorry that these extra rules were not written up, That is exactly what we are going to do.
Rocknok2 说:Not to mention, ever since the beginning of the linebattle, Your regiment was constantly being reminded of the rules.
Rocknok2 说:And it was in your regiment that there were numerous people who fired out of formation.
Rocknok2 说:The administration team can only act on what we see. We addressed, and punished offenders based on what we have witnessed.
Rocknok2 说:I'm sorry Hekko, But that's plain not true. I tried to explain to you that if there was no formation, and no line, the rule cannot possibly apply.
You kept on arguing that this wasn't mentioned in the rules.
The best way I could explain it to you, was to put it in a few words as possible "If it's the last one alive, It's fine"
For some reason, you forgot the explanation to why that was. My intention was to explain it after the linebattle, Right here on the thread, And that's what I'm doing right now.


The 3tes is pro as Skimiher but not as FranceRocknok2 说:I've added the video to explain the basics of skirmishing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzDSx_YJg9c&feature=plcp
After the explanation is over (NO voice over for the rest of the sections)
A fire & retreat will be demonstrated. And about 3:00 we demonstrate how NOT to skirmish.

The following line certainly didn't hold true:
"We will have a professional set of admins to ensure that no regiments breach the rules, and that all players enjoy their time, without being harassed by pesky admins."
I am apalled about the way this event is admined and suffice to say, we will NOT be attending these linebattles again.

P.S: Some of the times we are not able to get 10, but we always like to participate even with a small number as line. I was wondering if that is a problem? Our last linebattle was apparently cancelled (and we used to be accepted there as line even with a small number) and we really like this one set up here by you guys![]()
