Help with Dukla Pass and Thiepval Ridge

Thiepval Ridge:

When playing on this map in a HT the best place to brawl seems to be the H3 corner. Depending on how the enemy moves that fight may extend into the riverbed along the F/G line and into the G/H 4 road. That is where I generally take my heavies anyway.

For a MT you have pretty much the whole map to play with dependent on the medium you are playing. If I am more of a spotting scout style of medium I either play the northeast corner or the hill in G/H 5.
For heavier mediums I generally play a second line support near the H3 brawl. For the south spawn I play in J/K 1-3, either on the hill in J3 if I have the depression or behind the rocks in the 1-2 grid if not. The north spawn I play the G/H 1 hillside and offer fire support, or may attempt a flank through the riverbed depending on how many enemies I know the location of.

Dukla Pass:


I'll start by saying I absolutely hate this map with a passion. If I'm in a heavy I pretty much always play the southeast corner. If it's a non-standard gamemode with weird spawns I may play the 1 line.

For MT again you have the whole map to work with, the glory of the jack-of-all-trades class. As a heavier medium I generally try to support the brawl corner by fighting on the hill above, and trying to keep that at least contested if not under our control. Sometimes I may take it to the town that takes up the western hill. In lighter mediums I generally play that town as well, especially from the north spawn as leaving that entire half of the map unprotected seems to be the MO of the north spawn. I will take a more conservative position if I have few or no teammates on that side of the map so I have an escape route. I feel like this map really favors the south spawn.

This is just how I play though, and I'm certainly no unicum.
