Need some good tactics? I got a couple here for an offensive attack.

This picture shows the very popular type of tactic called flanking. The idea of flanking is to drive the other team out of their possition by going around them. The guys in the red will attack first. They will create a diversion while the guys in the blue will come up from the side. This is a standered tried and true tactic that will work succesfully most of the time.

This is another tactic which is called a pincer. In this the red guys run right up to the opposing team. The guys in the blue attack from the back putting pressure in the center of the opposing teams formation and will cause them to go which ever direction they can go without getting hit. If you do this tactic, I am sure that you will eliminate atleast one person on the opposing team. Someone will get separated, thats the person you go after. Eliminate him and then go for the others.

This is another form of pincer, but it has another element to it. If your enemy is against something they cannot go past, corner them and then blast away. Whether it be a river, a wall, a fence... If you corner them, they will have to fight. Your pincer will act as a cage. No one will be able to get out. They will have to fight you.

This is another form of a flank. This one is different though. It includes deseption. What you do is you act like all of you are going to charge the enemy. As you are sprinting as fast as you can, right before they come in firing range, the guys on the outside sharply turn and run around the enemy. The force of the attack from the front plus the surprise turn will confuse them for a second. They will have no choice but to retreat.



Another article about different tactics. I'm gonna make more later.

Might I also add the double envelopement? It is basically flanking the enemy on both sides. Like in a regular flank attack the front soldiers distract the enemy while groups of soldiers move covertly toward the enemy's left and right. Very difficult to pull off, but if the flanking groups are of equal size and attack with equal force, the enemy will have to break and run for the rear.

Nic article! I use the ol' put a couple guys in a bush, lure the enemy past the bush, have your guys leap out, and crush em' from both sides. With a flanking move, it is ideal to keep all side covered except for one, where you can funnel the enemy into a WBL zone.
