Commanding tip/trick...

Commanding tip

Hey I am no supercommander or anything but I was just playing Fall of Berlin, and was commanding it, and things were pretty much stalemated. We were playing PAC, and couldn’t seem to break out and take anything. It seemed that everyone was satisfied to hunker down in safe places, and no one would move forward when they should. After several minutes of play, I started micromanaging things, and telling squads to relocate to certain places just forward of where they were. I kept encouraging them on with supply drops near the places they were taking up positions, and sure enough they would begin to mass forces near those areas and push, and low and behold the stalemate was no more. Just moving supply boxes more and more forward seemed to help them move forward. Perhaps a supply drop like a little troop security blanket…

Nice - maybe I should be the cmmdr and try that out - but I think I'll work on being a decent squad leader first

Yeah, Hunter. Being a Commander is far more than just throwing a UAV out or dropping orbital strikes. You're in charge of the entire team. Yeah, some squads won't listen, but if you use your voice comm and you get your point across, everyone will be far more likely to follow instructions. It should be a rule that Commanders have to use voice comm.

Anyway, dishing out orders to squads is the best way to get what you want done. This is why a commander can make or break the team. We could go 10 rounds losing every single one, and then I'll hop on commander and suddenly we'll win every match that I command.

Use your Sat Track, look for weak spots, send a squad there. If they need help, tell another squad to back them up. It's all about taking the information you see and manipulating it to your advantage.
