The most critical thing for this area, usually, is for the team's Engineers to get their guns set up and ready before a major push from the Attackers take place. This often means that other classes should try to delay them in the chokepoints between here and the previous area. Snipers, positioned roughly where the above shot is taken (or perhaps a little further along the back wall), can also help delay anyone that gets through.
 
  
 
Special attention should be paid to the Jump Points, as these provide an easy way to get the flag right up to the Command Point, if not capture it. A few people (or perhaps an SG, if you have many Engineer's on the team) covering the roofs can help prevent this - Snipers, Soldiers, and HWGuys all all pretty good classes in this role.

As with most of the Command Point areas, Spies can be a nuisance. In this area particularly, there are a few good routes for them to sneak in under the radar, so it is worth being vigilant (but not paranoid).

Another thing to watch for in this shot is the route denoted by the left-most arrow, through the building. This route can be used by Spies to sneak in quite effectivly - even more so when the Extraroute is open. It will also likely be used by other classes, often Soldiers and Medics who can use the door it leads to as a protected point to fire upon Sentry Guns. Someone sneaky may also try to run the flag down this route, though it is uncommon.

An early push, before the enemy Sentries are set up, is often the quickest way to Capture this point, and prevent being bogged down. A Jump from to the Command Point can also help break an existing deadlock - though you may not reach the CP yourself, if the flag is close enough, a Spy can run in and capture before their SG's take him down.

As was noted in the previous picture, an early push before the enemy Sentries are set up is often the quickest way to Capture this point, and prevent being bogged down. Another tactic, though uncommonly used, is to run the flag through the building shown in the left of the picture, which runs most of the way to the Command Point - it can be risky though, as if the flag is dropped inside there, it is more easily defended than if it were dropped in the open.
 
 
Overall, a Spy has many uses in this area, especially in the takedown of Sentry Guns. If you feel Sabotage is an option, then by all means go for it, but don't get "tunnel vision" - an SG removed is better than wasting time with failed Sabotage attempts.
 
  
If the Extraroute opens, it can provide a few benefits. It is a good spot for a Sniper - dark, out of harm, and with a good view - but is also good for a Spy to make a less conspicous entrance into the area.

Defenders

Special attention should be paid to the Jump Points, as these provide an easy way to get the flag right up to the Command Point, if not capture it. A few people (or perhaps an SG, if you have many Engineer's on the team) covering the roofs can help prevent this - Snipers, Soldiers, and HWGuys all all pretty good classes in this role.

Another thing to watch for in this shot is the route denoted by the left-most arrow, through the building. This route can be used by Spies to sneak in quite effectivly - even more so when the Extraroute is open. It will also likely be used by other classes, often Soldiers and Medics who can use the door it leads to as a protected point to fire upon Sentry Guns. Someone sneaky may also try to run the flag down this route, though it is uncommon.


Attackers

As was noted in the previous picture, an early push before the enemy Sentries are set up is often the quickest way to Capture this point, and prevent being bogged down. Another tactic, though uncommonly used, is to run the flag through the building shown in the left of the picture, which runs most of the way to the Command Point - it can be risky though, as if the flag is dropped inside there, it is more easily defended than if it were dropped in the open.

If the Extraroute opens (shot above is shown from the Extraroute opening), it can provide a few benefits. It is a good spot for a Sniper - dark, out of harm, and with a good view - but is also good for a Spy to make a less conspicous entrance into the area. In the Fortress Forever version of Dustbowl, it is also even better than ever for usage as a secondary Jump point, but is more also more open and noticable than the other one marked upon the picture above.
