On the 10th of September 2025, we, Special Weapons and Tactics, logged on for the second battle of our first war with the Romans. Our activity was good. Unlike our previous battle, this did last the full 30 minutes.

Summary, courtesy of CPAJ Judge History (with SEO adjustments):

Room 1

Room one began with SWAT entering first, with SWAT’s bomb being slower than the Romans. The Romans formed a V, with sizes being 5-3 in favor of Romans. It was noted that SWAT was quite dead within this room, and then SWAT formed a vertical. Both armies had poor speed and completion, with Romans dominating the coverage factor. SWAT rakes, with Romans having a solid defense before quickly waterfalling.

Sizes were 6-4 in favor of Romans. Romans formed a chatbar, whilst SWAT formed a standard horizontal in the center of the room. Romans’ formation was somewhat spread out, compared to SWATs’ bunched formation. SWAT waterfell with Romans having a quick yet poor defense. Romans then bombed but shortly after tried to execute an upside-down T. SWAT then did a very bunched diagonal, with the sizes being 6-5 in favor of Romans. Due to Romans’ overall dominating in formations, completion, pace and coverage, Romans wins this room

Room 2

Room two began with Romans entering first, before quickly forming a diagonal. SWAT also formed a diagonal but was heavily cramped. Romans had decent speed, with SWAT being dead. Judges noted that SWAT’s formation contained some AFKs, with the same regarding Romans, except Romans had decent speed and completion. Romans then did an @ BWB rake, with SWAT having zero defense before moving into a rake. Romans then formed a diagonal, with SWAT bombing for a while before moving into a horizontal chatbar formation and then quickly moving into a diagonal.

Sizes were 6-4 in favor of Romans. Romans then formed into a chatbar, with both armies trading coverage. Romans then did a poor whirlpool with SWAT failing to defend. SWAT then bombed, with Romans making a solid T. It was also noted that Romans were slow in terms of tactics within this room, with SWAT forming a really poor horizontal.

And to end this room, SWAT then bombed. Similarly in room one, Romans also dominated yet again in terms of coverage and utilization of size, with SWAT having loads of AFKs and hard formations to decipher; Romans win this room.

Room 3

Room three then began with Romans entering first, to which SWAT then formed a vertical. Romans then formed a well-spaced-out V, with sizes being 6-3 in favor of Romans. Romans then waterfell with an @ BWB, with SWAT having poor defense. SWAT raked with Romans forming an upside-down V.. SWAT then formed a very bunched diagonal. It was noted that Romans UV didn’t quite utilize their size, with SWAT then doing a creative, yet ineffective, Z wipe. Romans then bombed, with them forming a UT.

SWAT was still Z-wiping, which was heavily out of sync. SWAT then covered Romans for a bit, with Romans having a solid pace. Throughout this room, Romans overall performed decently. With the completion, pace and coverage, Romans wins this room

What Went Well:
Was first to enter majority of the rooms
Creative movements
Good balance of emotes and word tactics

Even Better If:
Improved on the AFKs
Had better pace and completion
Improve on spreading out formations more
