Attacker always has more tickets. Having line battles with one side having more tickets without neutralizing that somehow is unfair for the defender.
    2. No one leaves spawn in groups less than 10? or some number bigger than 3-5.
    3. No charging(unless its a bayonet charge) all movement must be in quick time or double quick and in some sort of line, see above #2
    4. Also some sort of time in the beginning for both sides to set up. The defender should not run up to as close to ememy spawn as possible and unload, as they do start in the middle of the map as defender.

    Thoughts?

    Cover is nice to have, but it's easier for defenders to shoot down the attackers behind some cover. Either both sides get to use it or neither side. Also ticket disadvantage isn't as big of an issue as people make it seem to be. I mean in the time given I don't think there was a time in these line battles were a side lost due to losing all their tickets, and it the killing only stopped due to the timer. I'd say just start from the beginning, and keep how we deployment the same. If a side can properly maneuver, and lay down fire then the point you bring up aren't needed.

    the problem with the line battles is only about 1/2 the team follow the rules, they are hiding behind fences, trying to shoot into spawn, standing behind bushes so in the end it isnt a line battle at all but a gloried skirmish is all it is
    these double ranks and march in formation last about 5min then everyone just says f it and does their own thing

    if u want line battles then stand out in the open and shoot each other stop hiding moving and so forth isnt that want you want isnt it other wise it is just a glorified skirmish with maybe 3 lines of people moving around just dont get it myself but what ever have at it trying to organize it but with all the randoms and companies that want to do what they want it wont work

    just my 3 cents worth

    been trying to do line battles for over a yr and it all ends the same way

    While we realize this is a public server and nobody is obligated to follow our "rules" during our events, we do want to provide some guidelines, agreed upon by the organizing companies, for the benefit of other companies that would also like to participate but maybe aren't clear about the expectations,

    Encouraged,
    Double-rank formation
    Multiple 'In Formation' lines working cooperatively
    Maneuvering is highly encouraged (because line battles where one side never moves are intensely boring)
    Kneeling in 'Skirmishing' formation to conceal location, ambush the enemy, disguise screening movements, etc.
    Bayonet charges

    Discouraged,
    Establishing a defensive position which is out of bounds to the enemy (again, this is really, really boring)
    Volleys from artificial cover (namely, standing in houses or behind railings and fences)
    Fighters 'Out Of Formation' (snipers, bushwhackers, lonewolves, or whatever they want to call themselves only eat up tickets for their own team)
    Breech-loading rifles (exceptions allowed once muzzle-loading roster is full)
    ^ Tonights line battle rules. Good luck to both sides!

    Better come early since the rebs always bring more than 75 so they spill into the US.
