Battle For Southblade!! - Foxhole War 115

[@CannibalCory]

FYI: You can have infinite people repairing. You can have infinite people digging. However, when building a blueprint it is maximum 3 people at a time.

[@RobertLovesGames]

Gotcha! I knew about the digging! I always try to recruit more people to dig lol. Thanks for letting me know!

[@ashothegod]

I thought repairing had a limit

[@BlockyO]

Repairing is three per piece, and digging is like 12

[@davidty2006]

Very weird mechanics...

[@Turntapp]

Infinite repairing only applies to vehicles, not structures. Structure repairing is limited to 3, a bunker with many connections is limited to 3 per bunker piece. A 6 piece bunker can have 18 repairers max. If all 18 people are on the same piece, it will only repair at the pace of 3.

King's Cage is where I played for the first time, and learned how to be a medic. It has a special place in my heart

[@RobertLovesGames]

That's awesome to hear! My very first battle was in Umbral Wildwood. Will never forget that one either :D Thanks for sharing that!

[@morrischen5777]

King's cage is an extremely defensive hex. The center peninsula is extremely advantageous, with high ground in the center usually come with factory and garage, while connected with two bridges at each side. That means constant bridge battles when both side are contesting for the chance of trying to invade the center. The outcome of center peninsula is either come to the duel of the artilleries of each faction, or by the side who control the Farranac Coast and invade from the neighboring hex. This often result in heavy fortresses and artillery/storm cannon base being build on either side if the fight in King's cage didn't end in the earlier time.

[@RobertLovesGames]

I figured it must come down to the overall layout. Thanks for sharing your insight on this! This is very well said.

[@Fir3Soul]

I just love how people say "Heiii it's Rober LuvsGamess , I watch your videos " that's super cool.

[@RobertLovesGames]

I love it as well! Some people think that I would get sick of it or that it bugs me but quite the opposite! Love when anyone comes and says some kind words about watching my vids. So say hi to me any time you see me in game!

[@hoanglinhle4468]

- The weather in KingCage has been so bad the whole week. If it's not rain, it's snow. - We have the rocket factory nearby but our rockets are useless in that kinda weather. - Another thing about the Hex is that we don't have any proper way to defend the town after capturing it. The road facing south means our truck has to run into enemy territory to reach the Base. . - So, it is the same situation as the last war, where we concrete our defense in the West and let the enemy waste their resource pushing us. While the Eastern Front pushed into their logi Hex. - Also our Arty waits for the enemy to build their concrete and then kill the wet concrete. Seeing those concretes blow up really hurt their morale and economy.

[@RobertLovesGames]

Kings Cage is getting snow? I need to head back over there! Was rain when I was there. Seems like it's just a hex where both factions face off against one another with storm cannons lol. Thanks for sharing your insights on this!

[@hoanglinhle4468]

@@RobertLovesGames - Ya, the last few days in KingCage are just small groups of partisans here and there trying to cross the river. - The Snow is just bad for big attack operations. Both side.

[@StephenBadger]

Was nice to see this recorded! A few of us 709th were here, firing the lone gun at 9:15 and then firing the gun extracted at 10:15 by the town hall until we were out of ammunition. Good fight!

[@RobertLovesGames]

Nice! Thanks for bringing the arty up! Wish we would have had that online a bit sooner but still good to have it! GGs!

[@userasdf1546]

I fought in King Cage last war. I defended bailey and worked in the coal field

[@RobertLovesGames]

Nice! Seems like a nice place to do logi and chill. Thanks for sharing that!

[@TheVeryRealShorra]

The main reason for me not to play in King's Cage is simply Bridge Battle, if a push happens it's fine but outside of that bridge battle are tedious, for this war and many wars prior, it's also horrible to play with manacles being a frontline and having factories and garage and so the first day of the war is the decider as to which faction gets it. From then on it's an uphill battle even attempting to push pass the bridge until 150mm or Storm Cannons come out. As for hex's that I haven't thought in , probably Nevish line and the islands to the right minus The Fingers. Congratz on the 10k

[@RobertLovesGames]

Yea I think that is why I have avoided it as well. Always looks like it's a bridge battle that's going on. Or I look at the hex the next day and the whole thing is taken over lol. I'm hoping Kings has a major snow storm that freezes over those rivers. And that makes sense about Manacle. And thank you! Thanks for your insight on this as well!

[@hoopyfrood7887]

82DK's been pushing in KC this war as well, the general feeling on the hex in the clan seems to be negative, it's most often referred to as Cope Cage. I personally just hate the bridge fights, you win one bridge fight and your prize is fighting another one for a week.

[@RobertLovesGames]

I wonder if the devs need to look at redoing the hex? And yea bridge fights are the worse and that hex has a lot of them lol. Thanks for sharing your insights on this!

[@Maverick-Havoc]

Aye I was there for that fight! Mav Marauder, leading my ATR squad where will killed multiple AC's/HT/Tankettes!

[@RobertLovesGames]

Love it! You all did some great work and big damage! Nicely done! And once again I LOVE the ATR! Keep it up!

[@64bitrobot]

I ended up picking up the game and it looks like I'm against you this war because I decided to start off as a collie. This battle looked like a lot of fun. Arty can be devastating, whoever built that fort on the hill is a beast, what a hellish position to assault. Also I'm at 76 hours and have spent the majority of my time in allods bight so far xD

[@waterfossett4751]

New player here with 50ish hours, my first battle was the dreaded bridge grind at Mercy’s Wish and since I’ve frontlined in The Deadlands and King’s Cage. The fight in Scarlethold is really fun at the moment!

[@RobertLovesGames]

Oh no! I always try and tell new players to stay away from Mercy's Wish. That battle can be quite demoralizing. Thanks for sharing that!

[@RobertLovesGames]

lol! I'm elusive on the battlefield! Never know what front I will be on :D If you do see me make sure to say hi!

[@dman_n1]

The main reason for the lack of activity within this hex is due to the bridges but the river getting iced over completely changes that with inf and ACs rushing across. Eastknife will finally see some activity.

[@RobertLovesGames]

I want those rivers to get iced over so bad! Hope it happens soon. I heard Loch Mor has its water iced over. I kind of want to go check it out.

[@dman_n1]

​@@RobertLovesGames In case you haven't been informed yet, the river has been iced over for a couple days now, and will likely remain that way for a while longer. Very tedious to move vehicles around when they are all frozen.

[@Comraderob1]

@robert FYI, if you have more than 3 players, it doesn't actually waste them. I tested this after years of being told it's a waste, the repair will only consume 3 Bmats at a time, but your hammer hits will just occasionally "miss" without consuming a bmat. Happy for contrary evidence, but I tested this many wars ago

[@RobertLovesGames]

Oh really? That's good to know. Myth busted! Thanks for sharing that! But overall players still should spread out 3 to a piece to repair more right?

[@Comraderob1]

@@RobertLovesGames maybe, depends what you mean 3 to a piece? typically I have 4 people+bmat puller. This way 3 always are repairing, while the 4th person is refilling their Bmats, you still have 3 hammers going

[@AbsentScarab]

As someone who's done a decent amount of logi on the Warden side in King's Cage ever since it was released I have picked up some observations on people's thoughts about it as a whole, though these are mostly anecdotal. When it first came out I noticed a lot of people seemed to not be a fan and the endless bridge fights in War 105 at The Bailie have lead to an ongoing meme in my friend group of "I'M NOT GOING BACK TO THE BAILIE!!!" or more simply "I'M NOT GOING BACK!!!" So I think some of the ambivalence towards it may boil down to King's being seen by some as just another bridge fight hex. During that same war and some of the subsequent ones I remember that a lot of people also didn't really want to build in King's either which lead to a lot of big attacks and really fun battles in Stonecradle that war as well. I don't have a lot of insight on that personally as I'm not really a builder but I would be interested in hearing from any builders as to why that might be. More recently I've seen that folks seem to be taking the hex a bit more seriously as it's not uncommon for it to be one of the most forward seaports for the Wardens on the west coast, not to mention the two factories are pretty nice if you have the bmats to use them. I also find that it can go from being a fairly quiet hex to all of a sudden being in the midst of a fairly heated battle somewhat out of nowhere. Overall, as someone who almost always operates out of Stonecradle, I actually quite like King's Cage and I look forward to sending out more supplies to The Manacle to help the front. I'd be really interested to hear what others thing about the hex though from both fellow Wardens and the Colonial perspective. I know a lot of Collies felt the fighting in King's was endless in 105 so lets hear what any vets have to say about it!

[@RobertLovesGames]

That makes since about the bridge fights. That hex has to many bridges in my opinion. Need another way to connect it without getting rid of the river systems. I was hoping that freezing the water would help with this. I really appreciate you detailed analysis of Kings Cage and giving your perspective! I really enjoyed reading this so thank you! I will have to try it out more and explore it a bit more to say how I could utilize it. Thanks again!

I do have a patreon and I eventually want to make specific Foxhole content for it once it builds up a bit more. Unfortunately right now I can't justify the time to making content just for patreon with my limited schedule :( This is a decent idea but I wouldn't want to lock anyone out from playing with me and also time is still an issue :D Appreciate the suggestion though thanks!

​@@RobertLovesGamesit's not SC's but the dual rivers and limited crossing points. Can't ambush arty or flank, but most of all on both ends everyone has easy spots to arty the bridges.

this war will be a warden victory. colonial logi is too full of commend griefers. every warden victory iv had to suffer through so far has come about largely because town and bunker bases having either been over stocked, or understocked because others have been overstocked. 700 rifles in one bunker and 1k bullets in a completely different bunker further down the road, or 50 grenade tubes in one bunker and 500 tremolas in a completely different one is just constant. someone dumped 75k bmats in backline bunker that was 'backline' even during defence, so that when we pushed we found we were out of bmats for repairs on forward bases being shelled or not being able to reinforce forward bunkers because every single bunker going up to the front line had 1k shirts dumped into them. whenever you see mass infantry swarms with nothing but pistols, its always because of this crap.. even now it feels like so many people are just quitting. its getting harder and harder to qrf because nobody even shows up anymore. i guess they're all just getting tired of the crap.
