Only 1 reserve spot? Seems unfitting to force teams of 7 to sit someone for this when the goal is increased participation

Aww yisss.

Please tell me there's going to be more of these.

these r not including the use of tier 8 premium tanks? yes or no? think that needs to be cleared up and posted if they r allowed to be used or not

Also, I agree on this one. Seriously now..
Edited by Conflict, Oct 31 2012 - 03:33.

Yea can we please get the reserves put to at least 2 this is bugging me as well.  If you have to lower prizing to allow it then do the same as the classic.  If someone brings 6 they get the listed prize and if they bring 7 have them get lowered totals.  

With it being this time of year the weather could cause a team to lose simply because 2 of their team members are stuck in traffic or lose power.

Will there be a rule concerning a team bringing 4 tanks to a battle instead of 5? Will a team of 4 be forced to use 31 points or will that be permitted. I know there has been confusion over that in the past and I'd gotten used to the rule. Thanks so much I plan to have tons of fun.

From what I heard but I may be wrong, you have to have 5 player setups
Edited by Friction, Oct 31 2012 - 11:09.

I agree. Two players in reserve would be nice

OddBall1965 ( 13,000 + battles)  is looking to join a team. Any tier, any time. Will bring only fully upgraded tanks/spgs with 100% + + crews, gold ammo etc. I am a team player and will sacrifice my own glory for that of the team ( i.e. play smart, stay arty safe, sacrifice own tank to save better/healthier teammate if neededetc)

Let the games begin!

Would like to get clarification on this.

 Friction, on Oct 31 2012 - 11:05, said:

You can go lower. 5v5 is just the max setup.

And I don't know what everyone's talking about... we are allowing 7 members per team  

Are you really allowing tier 8 arty in a tier 8 matchup?

 Garrath, on Oct 31 2012 - 18:48, said:

Yes, we are, as history has proved that in matches involving 7 or less players per battle, deciding whether or not to bring arty is a harder call than you might think.

Woah. Maybe I'll get a new computer out of this.

We saw what you did there Farquad, when you first posted it, was 6 members per team :P

 lord_farquad, on Oct 31 2012 - 18:37, said:
