The Battle for Strand of the Ancients - Daily Battleground 11/28/09

The daily battleground today was Strand of the Ancients. I fought in 3 battles on Wranngar, 1 win and 2 losses. We won the second one I was in so I completed my daily. Then I decided to do another one which we lost. I received 19g86s and 1241 bonus honor for fighting in a winning battle in the daily battleground.

The Strand of the Ancients is a pretty nice battleground. There are 2 rounds in each battle, one with the Horde defending and the Alliance on offense and then we do it again with the Alliance defending and the Horde on offense. We are fighting for control of a relic. You have siege equipment in there like Wintergrasp that you have to use to break through gates. There are gun emplacements on the gates to use to try and repel the attackers. There are 2 paths to the last gate which is your goal so the attacking team can choose to attack one or both of the starting gates. The defending team has to either guess which gate the attacking team will attack or split their forces between the gates.

SoA can be a lot of fun, win or lose, and I like fighting in there. Not as much as Alterac Valley though.
