Reading through these last few pages was depressing and entertaining at the same time. I found the match to be rather dull because of how defensively BOTH regiments played, but what people need to keep in mind is that the KK-A spawned on a hill and the first thing they did upon having spawned was to fire at us from their spawn. Naturally we moved to cover - 'tis what any sensible commander would do. Had we not been fired at from the very beginning of each round (I believe it happened in all the first rounds but I might be mistaken) we might have opted for a bolder and riskier course of action but with the KK-A desperately hanging on to each and every little advantage they could squeeze out of the map we decided to follow suit. Some of us, myself included, grew rather nervous after some of the earlier close combats and with the KK-A continuing to play as they so often do we decided not to expose ourselves unnecessarily when making our way toward their lovely hill.
Had the KK-A made ANY attempts to approach us we would have met them in the field but instead we had to endure a rather tedious game of who-stops-camping-first. Once we had taken the lead we grew quite determined to win the match and we saw no reason not to do what the KK-A had done to us once we got to spawn on the hill. It's been mentioned before but neither regiment had any success shooting from long range so most of the rounds were settled at point blank range where the superior shooting and positioning from the 91st obviously played a huge role. Some time after losing 2 rounds in melee the 91st melee improved considerably (We did get a few rather comfortable wins in melee) but what won the battle was the leadership, the positioning and the shooting of the 91st.
I personally would like to test the 91st melee against that of the KK-A but until we get to fight them on an open field with no shooting allowed I see no reason not to adopt their campy tactics. I'm fairly confident that the 91st melee would prevail against the KK-A but until we get the chance to prove that I am content with having won because of superior positioning and shooting. In my opinion shooting and leadership are just as important as melee. Even more so when the melee revolves around messed up glithconets that make about as little sense as the Warband-kick. All in all it was an interesting fight. I regret that it got to be so dull at times but when your opponent has been dealt a better hand and has decided to capitalise on it, you have to make the most of what you have.
