"Snowfall Graveyard in Alterac Valley can be a pivotal point in how the game plays out. And yet, it's often the most overlooked! Sometimes all it takes is one alliance player guarding it or one horde player snatching it to turn the tide of the entire game. So next time you're driving by it take another look and consider more closely it's potential value to the game."

That is an interesting observation, all three of those graveyards in the middle are the key to everything.

Agreed, IF the opposing faction decides to defend heavily. In a race, which is the fastest and most efficient way to decide the victor in AV, Snowfall is not a factor at all.

The trick is realizing which type of game it's going to be and adapting the strategy... we all know how well that typically goes down. tongue

It's only "key" in the sense that you really piss off a horde team (as horde) if you take it before IB has turned. The entire point of leaving it, from the fast-honor point of view, is to keep alliance rezzers from rezzing at their base and therefore being cut off and forced onto defense (especially at the bridge) where the horde zerg can be slowed down.

Capping it as horde turns the game into a long drawn out slugfest, which is usually a lot more fun but always a lot less efficient.

Thanks, but it's been fun
Five more minutes then I'm done!
I've been saying that to myself since
...yesterday.
