But first, a short introduction or dusting off to the concept of what War of the Factions is. Incase you didnt experience the last one.

War of the Factions is what exactly?

War of the Factions was originally founded back in 2014 as a project made and thought of by @Wicca (who you may vaguely remember ). As a PR vet that had been playing for over a decade he thought of a concept where every battle can be fought completely...

How does a commander in WOTF work?

Every team is assigned a commander who will chose his faction and then purchase his assets. These are then placed on the map by our scripters. Every team gets 1200 tickets to spend on assets. The price completely depends on what kind of vehicle it is.

The number of tickets that remain after the vehicles are purchased will be the ticket count that the team respective starts with. Only the commanders are selected by BASED, the squad leaders and grunts will be selected by sign ups, squad leaders and commanders. The teams will ultimately be structured and organised by the commanders.

There will only be taken one applicant, as how it works is that the winning commander of last WOTF will be asked to Command in the next one, so there is a little bit of competing.

Commander applications will be open untill Sunday. With the battle likely being on the 17th of December if nothing gets in the way.
If you want more details that you didn't get from this post. Feel free to send me a PM with any questions you may have.

On that note, If you wish to help organise WOTF we do accept help. Main thing needed are mappers and coders. Shoot me a PM if you are interested in helping out.
