Updated as server address changed recently.

Still active and recruiting!!!

Above are details of our public comms server. All are welcome to use the server, even if they aren't members of our community or internal clan, or when playing any game. Additional channels/rights are available upon request.

All we ask is you abide by a few common sense rules;-


i) Abide by section 1 of our CoC (General online conduct - found here: http://www.bsbnetwork.com/rules).

ii) Acknowledge that we reserve the right to use our coms servers exclusively for membership events or activities that are related to BSB Network. All users should be prepared to be temporarily removed (at our admins' discretion) if spaces are needed for membership events or users are not participating in relevant events.

iii) Always use the relevant channel.

iv) Do not disturb users in dedicated, serious or private channels with unnecessary and irrelevant chatter.

v) Do not hijack the microphone, give other users a chance to speak.

vi) Ensure you are using an appropriate level of sensitivity on your mic. Ideally use the "push to talk" settings to reduces feedback and background noise.

vii) Don't sing or play music/sounds into the microphone (unless you're in the music channel).

viii) Obey each channel's specific rules (if any).

ix) Don't use multiple aliases, offensive names or use offensive greeting/logging off messages.

Cheers for the support guys!

Personally I think if you are getting to the stage where heavy armour is coming out in 1v1 and 2v2 against Axis, the game is already lost.

I feel you basically have to play almost the perfect game for the first 10-15 mins of the game as Allies, capping a large portion of the fuel/munitions and inflicting some serous damages, to be in with a fighting chance...

Dealing with blobs early game as Soviets starts from the game kick off, I basically ensure I have around 3-4 conscript squads and molotovs available as soon as possible taking on as many smaller squads as possible. Also having your engineers laying mines on common choke points and CPs - this helps thin out squads.

Basically if you harass from the early game, as I believe Allies are intended, they don't have the time or resources to blob. In the meantime you can then get your own weapon support teams out to help establish a defensive line. Usually having just a couple of maxims in buildings or heavy cover with an overlapping arcs of fire (and supported by at least one mortar) is enough to get the Axis players on the back heel.

From there you need to start thinking about getting a couple of ZiS guns up. After that we've found having one soviet go SU85s and the other Allied player providing Shermans/T34's to provide a shield and to thin out enemy. KV8's also help.
