Title: What NOT to do when attacking a position

This is not a real article, just a jab at Waterbridge's attack strategy in this one place today.

When attacking a position on higher ground with fewer people, the last thing you want to is send a single man around to try and single-handedly flank it. He is not going to be successful, as three men can pin the attackers, the other two can double team the flanker. A 3-0 battle will quickly become a 6-0 battle when that lone flanker gets hit again and again.

What should have been done was a coordinated flank and attack by splitting the team in half, or having everyone move onto the bank and attack from the left. That would have forced us to abandon our position, or at least most of it.

You've got 2 weeks to think about a new approach. However, we will be at Goffle most likely, so you won't be able to use it. :P :lol:

So, did the battle go from 3-0 to 6-0 when they did that> My attack plan would be to suround the base and slowly move in, evuntually, you guys will HAVE to run out of water unless your base has a stream right by it (In the base)

You can't really do that, not at the possition we were at. Right along the river which had a unclimable wall on one side, and hard to get through reads entirely surrounding it. If you entirely surrounded us, we would have gone for the weakest man and make a hasty retreat. If they all moved at once up our right flank they would have driven us out, but we held it.
