This is Deans here.
It's completely unfounded for any comment to portray the 91st as a regiment of continuous camping. The 91st has always deterred camping whenever we could, and actively sought other means to continue a linebattle.
However, there are circumstances in which any competent leader will take action to reserve their men for melee or otherwise, and that is exactly what we witnessed today, from both sides.
Let me be clear: if the K-KA - who by the way, won comfortably in melee during the first rounds - thought they were secure in their winnings they would have approached us as we approached them during the first 5 rounds.
Of course, like as previously mentioned, the 91st would not besiege a hill that the K-KA were using as cover just to confidently denounce our discouragement of camping, which is what some are suggesting by apparently "not meeting half-way".
The skill of either regiment, on the other hand, is of course going to be trickier to deduce as who was better in each category. In my personal opinion, I believe that the 91st obviously outshot the K-KA. But the shooting was never long-range, and was instead a medium used decisively when the regiments were close, and as a precursor to the melee.
The 91st - excluding the first rounds because of undoubted nerves and lack of focus - were still capable in melee throughout the event and fought the K-KA many times on equal numbers that saw us defeat the K-KA.
The match was definitely not the worst I've ever experienced in terms of camping, and whoever claims that it was so unenjoyable that it reduced them to trolling is exaggerating because they lost.
Nevertheless, the K-KA were a hard fight and exalted great skill.
