bases in the forest

[Will Lewin]

ok we have 2 basses in the woods but one is our reload point (bridge) the other is the tractor shacks. which has lots of defences

However these are not very useful for ctf and the like because they are too close together so last time we had to use the pheasant shack which is nowhere near as well defended as the bridge or tractor shack.

If more people come next time it may be a good idea to make another base to allow for 3 to 4 teams.

another good thing to do would be to build some cover on the bridge and some on the path leading to it. (this would be useful for attacking and defending the bridge scenarios)

so is it possible to do any of the following after will has cleared the forest:

*more defences around pheasant shack

*some defences on the bridge

*new base possibly at cross roads

also, will the forest be as cleared as the forest on the other side of the fence? we should leave the half near the back that we dont use (behind pheasant enclosures) alone to preserve wildlife

Well if you lot had taken our advice you might have realised that the very end of the woods (next to the rocket base) is actually very easy to defend, making it ideal as a base for team-based games or CTF.

When it comes to building extra stuff and clearing I'm not sure what the plans are but there isn't much point clearing stuff anytime soon as it will have grown back by the next fight.

Will Lewin, I don't think you fully understand what I mean by clearing the woods. The woods are very big, and any large scale clearing operation would take months even with professionals. I mean that I'll clear a few areas of dense undergrowth to make better playing areas, and potentially have clearings for constructions.

I was just about to create a thread which overlaps this slightly, so I'll do it anyway. But if you want some forts, we have to have materials (which we don't).

if we stop doing speedball then we will have tires and we have a little wood if anyone takes down a shed or fence or something then we could get wood from that
