Tactical Scenario: Attacking Reed Hill, You're the commander, what would you do?

Original topic From SSCentral:

Here's a tactical scenario for you all, as I think this could be interesting to see what people would do in the same situation. This is a real place, and the terrain, weapons, and supplies actually exist. [Your arsenal will be fictional]
You are in the CFM's battlefield. There is a section with large woodchip mounds where the town dumps, well, woodchips. On one of the hills there is a strong fortification where the enemy team [combat strength: 10] has retreated to. You have 10 as well, and your team has reorganized and is together. You are also the commander of your team. This fort is on one of the tallest hills, named Reed Hill for the reed grass at the rear. The front is steep, about 20 something feet, and there is a 4ft. tall wall made of logs and is covered in mulch. The wall runs about 15ft. along the front of the hill. On the left side of the hill there is a patch of plants and a tiny area that gently slopes down. Directly above it is the back of the wall, where 4 men are taking shelter. They can easily cover this weak spot. Further along the back of the hill there are tall, thick reeds that you can't get through. On the right side of the hill the enemy defenses come to a V shape and slope away towards the reeds. The wall ends, but enemy line is on a natural ridge with a ditch behind it. This whole area is above the rest of the field, so you are on the hill, but the enemy is entrenched with a slight height advantage. The remaining 5 men are defending this part of the hill, with the ditch and bushes for cover. Hopefully that wasn't too confusing, the place is hard to describe. The enemy has a CPS 2500, 2 4100's, a 2700, a 1500, a 21000, 4 2100's, and about 60 water balloons. They also have about 10 liters of water in bottles and 8 huge jugs holding 5 gallons apiece. Your team has a Monster XL, 3 2100's, 2 1700's, a Max-D 6000 and 2 Max-D 5000's. You also have 75 water balloons, a water balloon launcher, and 2 jugs holding 5 gallons of water each. If you run out of water, the attack is over. Your team is in front of the hill, waiting for you to make an attack strategy. This is 1HK, and no one is out yet. Can you win this fight? What will you do?

Just stay out of enemy range, and shell it with waterballoons (I have about 400 of them in my house right now). I can easily outlast the enemy when it comes to ammo. Just bring a couple garbage can lids (shields) to deal with the return waterballoon fire. Eventually, the enemy will run out of waterballoons, and have to come out of the fort to engage in CQB. Our team has the advantage, because we've had plenty of time to determine where to take cover.

-Or-

If they decide that it's best to remain in their fort, fire (and throw) waterballoons as cover fire to keep the other team's heads down. Then charge it with infantry.

May or May Not Work:

Fortunately, PVC comes in bulk sizes. Build one of these for 9 of your 10 team members (1 can use the existing one). Move away from your base stealthily (any woods around?). Eventually, the enemy will creep slowly toward your base if you sit tight in one of the areas with small plants unnoticed. Once they're mid-way, pick em off with the WBL's. Have a one guy mount the MXL on its bipod and get ready to shoot any remaining enemies once the WBL barrage is done.

Will Usually Work:

Have a guy mount the MXL on the 4ft. wall and man it. The guys with the lighter guns should stick to places with complete cover and, as the enemy charges your base, peek out every few seconds and, making every shot count, shoot someone. As much as I hate to be corny/use old fashioned tactics, "Don't shoot 'till ya see the whites of their eyes!"

Unfortunately I went to go check on Reed Hill a few weeks ago [it is a real place, remember?] and the wall was gone. Not a trace. The workers must have noticed it and tore it down. Of course I am wondering how they never noticed a 20ft. long wall running along the top of the hill months ago, yet recently did. I will not be rebuilding it, it took so much effort to build in the first place, but I will be replacing it with a wall of woodchips, therefore, it won't be noticed. I have some pics of the hill from before it got torn down, will post them later.
