This is a tale of a glorious last stand. It was a TC sort of day at downthehighway Charlot. Me and two buddies were sent to protect some very important (and confidential) intel. We waited in ambush for at lest a half an hour. As we waited we got to participating in small talk. We were just getting on the subject of which of us would be the last standing when one of our guys saw bogeys appear seemingly out of nowhere on our left. They had gotten the drop on us. I was just surprised at how they didn't take more advantage of there wit. We countered by sending one of ours the left, while us remaining two stayed where we were to hold back the the main force that was now crossing over the bridge at center. . . to be continued.

Well, let me tell ya. Abbot had the bright idea for me to go help josh (not you Ajax) take down one guy. While he held off the entire opposing force by himself. It was not long before he died (due too all of the enemy's popping in and out, making it hard too keep them all pined) and we retreated to the ALAMO. There we held out, only popping out to give a short burst to our foes. Josh said "I fell like I should flank left" to which I responded "go. go". That decision cost us the game. If he had stayed, we would have had both sides covered. As I lay there, I heard what sounded like the pin on of a grenade's pin being pulled. I quickly jumped up, and let the guy have it on full auto. After that I got a couple more before some guy came up on the RIGHT lank, ans called for me too surrender. I did, and that was the end of it. We had a great day, and I thought that it was the best game of the event.
THE
END

If there's anything you need to work on Spidey, its to sit still... You and Ecthelion like to do the same thing: keep moving. Just sit on down, strap yourself in, and hope for the best. Oh, and for goodness sakes, return fire at the same time!  |

Gosh, when you are completely surrounded and outnumbered, what can you do?

When you are completely surrounded and outnumbered and against the back of the field itself, you sit tight and return fire. Easy as that.
The safest plan is tried and true, sound tactics, not bolts of lightning. Defenders should ever so rarely move around. Its a bad idea. Just sit tight and fire. Hence the name, firefight.

If you can manage to keep from being pinned down you have a much better chance of being effective, I'm with Spidey. If warfare could be won with sitting still and static defenses, France would have never fallen to the Germans in WWII!

If you can manage to keep from being pinned down you have a much better chance of being effective In a defensive position, getting up and moving is a bad decision 90/100 times. You expose your position and give the enemy the opportunity to take down both a valuable shooter and the entire positions, as well as leaving your unit the problem of having to shift the now shrunken force to cover the position you've left. This also lends the opportunity to pin down a defensive position because they don't have enough shooters. Moving out spreads out a line or splits a line. Therefore, moving out from a defensive position is a bad idea. If its not a defensive position, but rather an offensive force, then yes. Sitting still would be a bad idea if the objective is further up. Military strategy is not bolts of lightning, it's sound tactics. If you need to hold a position, sit still and hold it if you can. What your saying is a massive generalization and not giving any regards to situation being described (defending a position). That decision cost us the game. If he had stayed, we would have had both sides covered. If warfare could be won with sitting still and static defenses, France would have never fallen to the Germans in WWII! Again, that's a massive generalization. We were not talking about all warfare, we were talking about holding a position. I've held positions with Spidey and Ecthelion at least a dozen times. Every time, they want to move out and outflank the enemy. It only leaves the defensive position all the more exposed and now defenseless. I'm giving advice, not calling names. If you're in a defensive position holding a base from which you have good cover, like the position Spidey and Josh were holding, moving out from cover is a bad idea. Now if the cover was bad, then advancing or withdrawing would be advisable. |

Your one to talk Abbot. Your the one who told me to go help Josh (who was fighting one man) and leave the right (which had the bulk of the enemy force to deal with). That was no time for heroics.

In point of fact, the center had the mass of troops. Josh was taking on a guy completely outflanking us and Josh was being unsuccessful at doing so. The mound was a terrible defensive position, so I was pulling us off of it. If we had stayed on it, the left would have fallen and we would have had to deal with Chris on our rear as well as an overwhelming force on our center, and pushing right. Pulling back to a defensive position superior to mounds was the most advisable course of action.
If you and Josh would have held at the corner, you could have held from that position long enough to destroy at very least 1/2 of the opposing force. But the foxes lose that game every time, so we knew we'd lose, it was just a matter of how much damage we could do before dying out.

Rule #3: Stay on topic. Do not take threads into pointless rants or anything if it doesn't belong in the said topic. Be sure not to start topics in areas they don't belong. I enjoy a little bantering too, but try not to overdo it. Okay, guys, let's not make a scene. |

Actually, josh had the matter well in hand, was in fact outflanking Chris, and could deal with it by himself. We should have both fallen back to the Alamo to join josh, who was already there. But this is history, we learn from our mistakes and move on. I should never have let josh try to flank right. We had an excellent position to hold them all off.

Agreed Caesar, if this arguing keeps up we all might end up being dragged into it, then the team will fall a part like the Avengers did when Loki was in the ship.
