[QUOTE=Sun_Sheng;514782]It’s a bit difficult for me to plan in advance so I ended up turning up on the off chance and then going spec. As a result of that, I have to say, the first thing that I noticed was that there didn’t appear to be any tactics in place at all, or if there were, they didn’t work. When I got on at the end, we were given tactics, but they were made up on the spot.
My suggestion therefore, is that since these gathers are known in advance, would it be possible to put down names on a monday for instance, nominate a captain for each team on a wednesday, then have the gather on a saturday or sunday with the captain having had a chance to draw up some tactics. With the server being free (and I understand certainly personally that people may not be able to commit) you could then have a mini gather an hour before kick off to give everyone a chance to listen to the tactics and maybe have a walkthrough. Alternatively you could do it on another day of the week if people were available?[/QUOTE]
There are generic tactics most of the teams I play with use. It depends if you have a clear leader in the team. If you don’t it tends to fall apart.
