Disobeying the CR5s Direct orders... and taking a Continent!

[PhatBoy]

Ok, so 22:00 on the 17/7/04 on Werner. I had just joined a small squad, 4 of us in all. We got in a galaxy, and the pilot gated to Searhus and was trying to get to Forseral where most of his platoon was, and where most of the TR were fighting. We waited for adout 10 minutes in the galaxy, then bailed. My crazy squad then decided to try and take a tower on Searhus when the whole continent was completely controlled by the NC and VS. We were the only TR on the whole continent.
We took two towers, one next to the Forseral Warpgate and then the one next to the Sina Dropship Centre, and invited some stray LFS guys. Soon our tower came under attack by VS Reavers and Mosquitos and we held them off for 20, 30 40 minutes. We appeared as a hotspot on the global map, and a few reinforcements appeared. Then the CR5s saw this and wanted them all moved to Ceryshen. They thought that Searhus was impossible to take... it wasn't a good enough target. And then, *ahem* kinda argued with a CR5. I can safely say he was a bit pissed off. However the reinforcements just kept coming, and we managed to hold them all off. Unfortunately I had to leave, but my squad kept going, and if you look at the world map here, for Werner, you will see my story is true, as we have now taken Searhus completely! Anf remember, this was on a Friday night, so there were lots of people around and we weren't just ghosthacking.
So the point of the story is twofold, firstly take the initiative and try starting some battles for yourself, maybe it could start something. Secondly, while the CR5s are important in the game, even they can make tactical errors, or maybe they just might not take a chance.
If anyone has a story like that, let's hear it.
And for my second point, I prepare to get flamed.

BTW, just so everyone knows, I don't hate the CR5s, and people should listen to them, I mean they are the commanders, but sometimes if you think something can be won, then take it. Unfortunately, some CR5s aren't willing to take chances, and it may be better in some situations to do your own thing. Apologies though, drax0r, for my mutinous behavior!

The CR's are sometimes good, but half the time they just give shoutouts to what we probly already saw. At the most they will tell us where to go. They are zerg leaders, rarely they never think of diversions as backhacking or make someone go for the techpalnts gens. you will find some good leaders though, even if they do mention none of those stuff.
