Me and my clanmates were playing on our favorite server with about 40 players, on the map Bi Ming, but two of our guys had to leave pretty early, so our number decreased to three, with me as squadleader -- no RP.
We had a commander which at first sight seemed to be a good thing. It was our squad that was able to capture the South-West CP early in the game. We stayed to defend, the Chinese managed to neutralize it, but we -- with additional help -- could recapture it all the time.
Then the commander got an idea: blowing up the bridge near the SW controlpoint, to stop the enemy progress. We were the first squad to get to that area -- although I had my doubts since an APC could cross the river anyway and on a night-map swimming trough isn't impossible too -- but we didn't die and did not have the kit to blow it up, instead we kept the bridge under monitoring.
Soon the commander sent half of our forces to that bridge, strangely it was still standing after I retreated to the CP to check what's going on there. Well, we got slaughtered there. The first respawn option was an APC in the middle of the Munitions dump: proved to be a true deathtrap exiting the vehicle. Then I tried to come from our main base, but got shot by some stalkers on my way.
So I made up my mind, we should try to capture Bi Ming. Since one of my squadmembers was still alive in the siege of the munitions CP, he could not join, thus the other guy and me tried to infiltrate. We found a whole squad and a rallypoint, we both got killed, but they had about one survivors too, and no RP anymore.
I gave it another chance, this was the time the Commander started bugging me with defense of the "slaughterhouse" and verbal insulting, calling me a crackhead

Just a couple of seconds before we could neutralize Bi Ming, the ongoing combat in the SW came to a loss as the Chinese made the CP grey. We were not able to capture Bi Ming after this, and the blame was put in my neck. I think this was the point when I made my first bad decision: I issued an order to attack the SW control point, fortunately my clanmates were more sane then me. Maybe because they didn't hear the commander's b*llsh*tt*ng coming at me.
- The result was still pretty close: we lost with about 8 tickets, but it came from a short advantage against the Chinese.
- The commander although he was very suggestive verbally, he didn't build any assets.
- My argument started with the old wisdom: the best defense is offense, I felt that the team got slaughtered while they were stranded in the small shacks.
- Even if it was against the commander's will, we made nice progress.
Any comments?
