Thanks for your comments, Pod, that makes a lot more sense now. If activity was rather poor and contactability not an option, then it makes perfect sense why you wouldn't want to commit to a full on attack on rank 1.
I especially understand the point about the choice of resistance strike. Charades, fair play to them, organised a lot of the hits on TBA, some more successful than others. But unfortunately, the strikes were always at the same time of day, which was neither perfectly suited for EH or MD by the looks of things \o/
Best time to strike TBA would have been ~2pm server time IMO when certain high ranked gentlemen tucked themselves into bed at night ;D I was just happy for EH to get a token land steal off JJ for about 168 acres or something ridiculously small hahaha xD
Contactability wise we probably had about 15-16 with numbers, but I don't remember contacting people on for attacks (unless they explicitly asked me to beforehand).
Just a testament to the skill of Mo Dakka's veterans that they don't need contactability or activity to do well, nice work Podunk!
