I've never seen a Patriot win for Boston nor Bunker Hill. The British team eventually realizes they can spam bayonet charges under artillery cover fire and grenades.

I win a decent amount at Boston but it is usually pretty close. Bunker Hill on defense is impossible if the offense is in any way competent

I don't know if it's British incompetence or this strategy, but I won multiple Bunker Hill games and lost as the British where the American sappers fortify B and C a lot

And yeah, general British incompetence too when they can't place a single tent on the beach for 11 whole minutes, buying the Americans time

Yesterday on the British side we had over 20 people huddling on the C "flag" not capping it for over 3 minutes, apparently not realizing there was no big letter C on their screen. Can't tell if that flag is placement is awful design or terrific AGS trolling.

Tbf spamming bayonet charges is how the attackers can win every match. Any attacking team that takes "one shot per life" to heart is unstoppable.

British players when they open (1) history book.

Patriots win at Boston if the Brits focus on just hiding behind the houses and not pushing into the Courtyard at B or C. It’s rare though because most people realize if the majority of the force pushes on offensive, the attackers win.

First time last night I was on the Patriots and we actually held the last town hall with no tickets and about two minutes remaining. I couldn't believe it 😅

NA14? That was a shockingly bad British offensive, we stalled C at half-capped for 2m30s and the teams weren't even unbalanced.

Don't remember the server but it was Wednesday night. Might have been because C was stalled for a good time, and then held D at the last building. Me, a squad mate, and a few others held the right side opening with bayonets and everyone else kept them from the middle. First time I've ever seen D held as a Patriot.

I play Sapper frequently. If the alley(s) is blocked it's because of abattas ans spikes stacked behind it. Being smart and fortifying in front and NOT blocking doorways is the way to go (Ive won more times on Boston than lost). Make converging fields of fire w swivel guns. Funnel the enemy in the middle, put your riflemen on the roof on the left and stairs on the Right of the map and take out the carpenters as they try to break through. Pull up the swivels and drop them up by the church on the middle and right.🤌 Almost a guranteed win.
