Winning Strategy

Over the weekend I finally came across a strategy for Alterac Valley that was a consistent winner. In the chat bar the guy reckoned that he had won the previous 12 battlegrounds using this strategy so I thought there was nothing to lose by trying. It flew in the face of what I thought was a basic requirement but it worked a treat. So here it is:

Group 1, 2: Iceblood Tower
Group 3, 4: Tower Point
Group 5, 6: Frostwolf Graveyard (FWGY)
Group 7, 8: Frostwolf Relief Hut (RH)

That allows 10 players to take and hold each target. In reality you won't get 10 players at each target but you will get enough. For groups 3 - 6 as the target is taken you move forward and start on the East and West Frostwolf Towers, once they fall you take out Drek. When the Iceblood Tower falls groups 1 and 2 take out Galv.

Do not put any energy into Iceblood Graveyard, leave it for the Horde. However FWGY and RH are very important and must be taken. Perhaps we got lucky because there wasn't much resistance from the Horde and whatever there was we overcame it. I think the important things were that a clear strategy was applied and we had no dissenters in the chat bar.

After those two battlegrounds we had a different option put forward, an older classic strategy that included taking IBGY. We went close and neither we nor the Horde got at Drek or Stormpike, however we lost it through attrition by about 80 points.

With this new strategy I came out with zero killing blows and zero deaths but many hundred honour points. In fact I didn't see a lot of action. I was part of a team that had jobs to do, we focussed and we did them.

My advice is put the strategy into a macro and pop it into BG chat before the gates open. Once, maybe twice, then followed up with gentle chat to maintain peoples focus. Best of luck.
