I think everyone should post what they think is the best strategy to WIN at Alterac Valley!!
It doesn't have to be a huge walk through or anything...but little things which maybe you've noticed which always seem to give the Horde the winning edge.
An example for a thing that I've noticed...is that the Horde will kite any of the Alliance NPC defenders of a Graveyard flag with a sacrificial mounted (usually epic) plate wearer. This will give the Horde time to move in and kill the Alliance which is hopelessly trying to defend the flag. And by the time the Kite is dead, the Horde usually has gotten the flag, and the Kited Alliance NPC defenders come back and the Horde squishes them easily.
The Horde ALWAYS moves in large groups, which is very effective in getting grave yards and destroying those sentry points!!
The Alliance.....ehhh not so organized. Which is their biggest downfall. I have noticed that most of the Horde players have no idea what they are doing...they just kill stuff and stick in their group. All the Alliance does is go around and kill stuff on their own, NOT staying in any kind of formation for too long.
I think that the Alliance is too concentrated on Honor than the whole group aspect of the Battlegrounds in general. They don't realize that they will get more HK's and more Honor if they stick in the group to WIN. Bonus Honor is where its at! 5k or more bonus honor for winning at AV for the lower rank players is ownage. I know HK's dont really matter, but it makes you look like a better PVP'er if you've got gobs of HK's and they think its impressive.
What would you rather be impressed by: A Knight with only 2,000 HK's or a leecher Marshal with 60,000 HK's?
Just my .02
