Introduction
Tactical Trench Wars (often abbreviated: TTW) is a custom sub game mode. It is a sophisticated variation of TW (Trench Wars). The game mode is Capture the Flag and both Realistic mode and Friendly Fire mode are enabled.
The goal is for each team to attempt and make it as forward as possible to the enemy's base by conquering bunkers along the way.
Roles
In TTW every soldier has a distinct role in the team: General, Medic, Saboteur, Spy, Engineer, Elite (Sniper), Long Range Infantry, Short Range Infantry, Artillery & Radioman
Each role has a designated mission, it's own set of available weapons to pick from, and a set of related commands to the that specific mission.
The General
Weapons Available: Desert Eagles, AK-74, USSOCOM, Combat Knife
Mission: Conquer bunkers (/conquer). The team members will spawn at the bunker that was last conquered by the team general.
It is of vital importance that your team has a general! The General also has a meal ready to eat at his disposal that replenishes 50% health (/mre).
The Medic
Weapons Available: Steyr AUG, USSOCOM
Mission: Heal players (switch weapon key). Players can request assist from the medic by taunting "Medic!", and the medic will then be notified of your position.
The Medic automatically regenerates health when not moving. Medic can also spawn a medical kit every now and then (/kit).
The Saboteur
Weapons Available: Desert Eagles, Spas-12, Ruger-77, USSOCOM, Combat Knife, Chainsaw
Mission: Rig enemy's and friendly stationary guns (/rig). Satchel will explode after four seconds. The saboteur also has a meal ready to eat at his disposal that replenishes 50% health (/mre).
The Saboteur can disarm mines from a safe distance (/rig).
The Spy
Weapons Available: Combat Knife
Mission: Infiltrate beyond enemy lines and gather intelligence.
The spy can set 3 timed charges (/place time e.g. /place 3, and /activate to start the timers) and has one stealth pack available on command (/stealth) per re-spawn.
Spies from both team can detect presence of the enemy spy. The spy can also observe the enemy tasks when he is nearby (/obs). Spy's bomb rig stationary guns and chain-blow mines.
The Engineer
Weapons Available: Desert Eagles, HK MP5, USSOCOM
Mission: Build stationary guns for the team (/build) and move them forward as further bunkers are conquered (/get).
Note that when the enemy bombs or rigs a stationary gun you have to wait a specific period of time before you can build a new one.
The Engineer can also place mines when they are available (/mine).

The Radioman
Weapons Available: AK-74, Steyr AUG, Ruger-77, FN Minimi, USSOCOM, Combat Knife, M72 LAW
Mission: The Radioman uses supply points (sp) the team generates. Each team generates sp every 14 seconds. With these points, the radioman can provide supplies
A team regenerates supply points. One supply points is gained every 14 seconds. From these points supplies can be chosen by the radioman (the cost is indicated between the brackets). Supplies are delivered in the bunker conquered last by the team. The radioman can also tap into enemy teamchat when the field battery is full (/tap). Lasts 40 seconds and recharges in 140 seconds.
Global Commands of TTW
Because there are many commands to TTW, it may seem intimidating to some at first, but don't worry about it, just hop on to a TTW server and you'll be fine.
The community is usually very friendly towards new players and show how the game mechanics work in a brief learning-by-doing way.
Here's a list of the most important commands:
/commands brings up a list of commands for your current task.
/list brings up a list of names of your team members and their respective tasks.
/free brings up a list of available tasks.
/apply brings up a list of possible tasks.
/quick quickly chooses a random task.
/left, /right, /top, /inside, /ivg, /clear enable you to warn your teammates about potential threats
/t, can be used to talk to your team mates without it appearing over your head in game. Just type /t text.
/cmmd1, /cmmd2, /cmmd3, and /cmmd4 perform different actions depending on the role set.
This should enable people to play all the tasks using only a single set of Taunts.
