I left this game for a couple of months over last christmas and new year - I’ve been playing 5 or 6 months again now, there’s nothing actually new, and WTF has all that got to do with not building spawns anyway?
Invading I’ll usually build a spawn as my first action 1/3 way to the 1st point (or some suitable place) before I fire a shot - if it doesn’t get used then no problem - but I don’t know that before hand.
Lots of my games go to 3 or 4 or even the last invasion point - sure there are some walkovers, but it’s not an excuse to not build spawns whenever possible.
Absolutely - sometimes I’ll lead with a new squad that doesn’t have an engineer, and I’ll often play hte majority of a game in an aircraft or tanks - just played a Moscow game using only 3 tank squads due to having a BP task to kill tanks - did that, now back to a “normal” lineup for the other 2 Moscow games for another task…
But any squad that can gets an engineer ASAP - and then building rallies and other structures with that engineer gives a good XP boost to the squad from then on - makes hte grind a lot faster IMO.
