  • Commander Squads can no longer claim a vehicle asset via squad name, due to the Commander squad name override. 
  • Do not create free-kit squads, which means large squads that have no direction or objectives. If your squad is cohesively working together across the map, taking on objectives, then we do not have an issue with how you manage your squad size. If you have a squad of headless chickens, you will be disbanded.
• Assets
  • Assets in our server are claimed by Squad Names, you must follow the naming convention of the vehicle as determined by the developers. 
  • If there are multiple assets of the same type (for example, TANK but there are T62s and T72s), then you must pick the name of the tank you desire. Otherwise, if you are named TANK you will be the last one to choose your asset unless it's the only tank. (You are still able to claim one, but it cannot be one that’s taken already).
    
  • TANK == MBT == M1A1, all of these names are interchangeable unless there are multiple assets of the same class, but different variation (M1A1,M1A2, see above). 
  • CAS Heli is acceptable for those helicopters with close air support mechanisms such as rocket pods that are pilot operated.
  • LOACH CAS / LOACH SCOUT < NAME SPECIFIC CLAIMS REQUIRED
  • Incorrect spelling, will forfeit you the ability to claim the asset 
  • You cannot make a squad and claim multiple of the same asset (example, LAVx2).

  • You cannot solo a vehicle that requires crewman kits and you may not leave main to pick up your crewman.
  • All assets that require SL approval can be claimed except Logistics and transports

• Our rule is entirely based on intent, and up to administration discretion - we ask you to play and actively support main objectives.
• Indirect Fire (mortar vehicles, rocket trucks, self propelled guns, etc) must be beyond the distance of the 1st flag (from main), to launch and is fair game for enemies to hunt! This may endanger their teammates, so choose your firing positions carefully.  
• If someone is hanging outside the main protection area, please utilize your teamwork skills to remove the threat
• This rule is relaxed when an active flag is too close to main (i.e first flag on invasion) and is up to admin discretion.

• The first properly named squad has priority. Do not create AIR/PILOT/ARMOR Squads as they have no claims. ("HMP/LAAT" are valid names, while "Air" or "Armor" are not). Many do not require crewman kits, however, they are claimable. Stardust, must have crew.
