Fair 'nuff.  I have yet to see an effective counter that's not just zerging in return.  What would you do?

A good approach to this fight would be:

"9 defend one stealths. Boring but very effective. Your 9 back at base will marmalise the opponents until they get frustrated enough to attack with everything. I've only actually seen this done a couple of times and it's worked both times."

In order for this to work, you preferrably need a druid, but sometimes a rogue, a shaman or a hunter will work (increased speed on foot). 9 of your teammates defend by your graveyard, while the 10th person in the very beginning captures the flag and hides, often close by your graveyard or flag room, since it's the best place to defend the flag and is close to the flag room for a quick score.

So what ends up usually happening is that 9 of your members are fighting by the graveyard, while the opponent 10 members are trying to kill you. Since you res up with full life/mana, while the opponent depletes theirs, you can simply wear them down and then kill the flag carrier. Often the opponents team will make a mistake, such as letting flag runner get too far from the core group, or key members getting split and killed, then you can capitalize very quickly.

Note: If the other 10 man group can crush your 9 people by your own graveyard and keep you down until they get to flag carrier, then you probably should have lost in the first place.



Also, if you think that you can beat their 10 people with your 10 people in a head-to-head fight, you can simply go into their base and capture it with your 10 people, and then defeat them head to head (preferrably closer to your own graveyard/base), and take their flag.
