Recall Recall Recall!

I think it would be awesome to be able to recall your troops in mid-march. Like your headed to go attack gangs then you get a warning that your neighborhood is being attacked but your on the road! Should be able to turn around and head back shouldn't you?

Yep, this should be possible and would be a good idea. it would also change the whole stratagy of attacks

There were no cell phones in the 1930's.

How do you propose to tell your troops that they need to come back?

Absolutely .... there is a recall window now you can access through deployed troops but the link isn't activated .... They need to activate that link ...

NOPE.... thats the whole point of the game... figure out what you want to send and commit to it.

Ever heard of a two way radio? Could make it a drop item from gangs to make it more interesting instead of just giving it to everyone. Also why do you have to commit to sending the troops you deploy? You don't think that if troops were out on assignment and the Dons estate started getting lit up he wouldn't tell them to turn around immediately? Some of you are too quick to dismiss this without thinking about it.

Yes he's got a point.

Then you will get a lot of attack messages and neve will know if they will come or not.

I think taht recall is needed but:
- Attacks against neiborghoods can´t be canceled.
- Attacks can be canceled onloy on the first 30 seconds or 1 minute after has beed sent.

In regards to the attacking neighbors - you could get a notice saying something like "Don John Doe's troops got scared at the sight of you and fled with their tails tucked between their legs..." Letting the person know that there isnt an attack coming after all. I don't think you can put a timer on it because what if you are on a 5 minute march to hit a gang and 2 minutes into it you get a report that your hood is going to be hit in 3 minutes? That would give you just enough time to turn around and defend.

Alright, granted, there are ways to justify recalling some troops, but if this is implemented, there will be a lot less pvp.

If it was freely available, EVERYONE will send a small scout ahead of their main force to look for an ambush, and recall if the enemy is too big.

If they did make an item that could recall their troops, it'll be very low drop rate from gangs (a la speedups), but they'll also make it available in the store for purchase. Yet another reason for the free players to hate the advantages that the diamond buyers have over them.
