Only 2 encounters with horde teams playing the Rath Strat. The first encounter was with, The Zerg, with 25 members, and Alliance won, a big surprise. I was smiling to myself when I engaged battle with Ualaa, Cloverine, Kakuzu, and Tiny.

The second encounter was, hmm..... educational. I am no AV BG expert but this was what happened. The horde team was very organized, whereas the alliance team consists of 50% 'no brain' toons. Those alliance with at least half the brain decided to regroup at the bridge near stormspike graveyard and used it to our full advantage. It actually works. We drove back few waves of horde attacks, and see the horde reinforcement count reduces faster. Needless to say we lost eventually, thanks to the impatient alliance toons. It will be fun if both teams are premade.

Regardless, it was a fun weekend for me.

Your encounter with <The Zerg> was five boxers, but unfortunately we had 15 pugs, so wasn't really a RathStrat game.
We wanted to do RathStrat, but the pugs were not onboard.

We decided to stay in the base, and use that as a choke... but again the pugs were not cooperating.
Still was a fun game.



The Preform AV Enabler wasn't working terribly well, during AV weekend.
But Tiny's addon Oqueue, is really neat.
Similar idea, but instead of each player queuing as a solo, the group leaders each queue at once.
If you use real-id, so each of the leaders is on the same realm... that overcomes the one server that queues faster than the others, which is very common in PreForm games.
