Why many don't push the valley anymore? (Lakeville)

The_Chieftain:   I am not a huge fan of Patton, but he did understand some fundamentals. You may be familiar with his phrase "a good plan executed violently now is better than the perfect plan next week." This isn't a platitude, it's a fundamental precept which has been taught for generations. Other sayings such as "get there firstest with the mostest" (Forrest), "strike with closed fist, not open hand" and "It is often possible to decide the issue of a battle merely by making an unexpected shift of one's main weight" (Rommel).  Fundamentally, strike where he isn't expecting it, and strike hard.   The problem with everyone going to a mutually agreed upon point of contention, such as the town in lakevile, the rocks in Steppes, the hill on Himmelsdorf (I remember when people who went up the hill were laughed at as incompetent noobs) is that it has completely remove the concept of "strategy" from the game, if both teams always send the bulk of their forces to the same place, it becomes a melee with nothing to distinguish winner from loser except RNG and low level tactics of individuals.
