The key here is that you have a little bit of additional cover from just about every direction and you can see in just about every direction. A lot of times the strength in a position like this for a game like protect the VIP, it's pretty essential that you have more than one person because you can be flanked from any direction that you can't see. So in a case like VIP, you would be trying to get your VIP into this location and then hold this location for a set period of time, after which if the enemy hasn't taken your VIP out of the game, you win the game.
