I think this event was as good as the last there were too many UK and all the did was camp at spawn and make forts so i think no sappers are allowed should be a rule

No sappers would be ridiculous and completely against the spirit of british tactics at the time. Just give a small amount of build points and make sure brits use formations.
But it makes it fair because what happened at this event when they just camped and didnt use formations at all really made a lot of people annoyed and i would rather have it fair than historicaly  accurate



Not using formations has nothing to do with sappers.
It did this time because no formations were used because they made a camp and stayed there, unlike the first event I didn't see any lines moving about all I saw was the cav running about and the Inf staying a fort, I don't mind the Sapper that much but they should only be able to make a wall for the line to crouch behind instead of a fort for them to camp in at there spawn

You're not being clear. Which event are you complaining about? You write as if it's the first event you're complaining about but common sense would suggest that you really mean this event.

Sorry, I mean that the first Tuesday event was good, people did not make camps and just made sandbag walls.

I'm complaining about the event that happened on the 15th (yesterday) because uk made forts and camped and I did not see any UK moving about in Line formation for a period of time and  I don't think gameplay would be any different without sappers.

I'd personally blame the small maps, both just had a hill in the middle so the British didn't have enough time to establish a firing line, the only chance they had was to build barricades etc.

but the British agreed to the small maps, so they obv didn't want to do proper lines plus the maps were not so small that they couldn't move, the map was medium sized and they had time to position themselves throughout  the map but they decided to stay at there spawn and make a fort. The cav was the only unit moving throughout the map

I've got an Idea for the event, Instead of Linebattles how about we do a Zulu assault ( Siege basicly without flag) when the British defends a camp and the Zulu can do surprise attacks on it

Idea of a map we can use
[close]
camp UK have to defend
[close]

On this map Zulu spawn at 2 points and the british spawn in the Camp without the British knowing the Zulu will spawn at 2 points on the map and assault the camp

Excellent idea, probably difficult to do but a randomised spawn would be great so the British don't know where they'll come from.

Perhaps a modification of conquest.

Well What I can do is put the Zulu spawn somewhere on the map so I only know where they spawn and its up to the British to put up a good enough defence to prepare for an attack on all sides, and its up for the Zulus to come up with a good surprise attack,

I plan for this to be more fun and more fair so people don't rage quit like last time :(

With the possibility of Zulus being able to move while crouching and lying down soon ( hopefully in v 0.04  ;) ) this should be an awesome and exciting map to play on,

We've got a custom map in the works that is based on conquest. But unfortunately it takes time because it's a big map that isn't going to be rushed - we're aiming for next week but can't guarantee it'll be ready.
