George MC Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Interesting article from the armour magazine on Russian/Soviet recce in force tactics - useful for application at the CM level and very applicable http://www.benning.army.mil/armor/eARMOR/content/issues/2018/Winter-Spring/2Grau18.pdf 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Woohoo! Thanks! I can definitely use this for a (Hopefully!!!) upcoming series of AARs with @Kozlice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletpoint Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) "An example of its use was during early September 1944, when MG Lawton J. Collins conducted a major reconnaissance-in-force with his VII Corps, employing three divisions on-line to conduct a limited attack to penetrate the enemy defenses in the Aachen-Stolberg corridor and to seize bridgeheads over the Roer River in preparation for exploitation advances into Germany. The operation failed to achieve its initial objectives; however, it did develop intelligence about the defending German forces that paid future dividends." So basically if your attack fails, you can re-label it as recon-in-force and your superiors will be happy Joking aside, this is interesting stuff, also from the defender's point of view. Very useful in CM too. +1 Edited June 22, 2018 by Bulletpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kozlice Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Not so sure how useful it would be to rally them up for a game of CM 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kozlice Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 going from recon to chopping off penises all on one page - gotta love these forums (sorry, George MC) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger73 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Are not the two related? Should one not always conduct a full reconnaissance while approaching the objective? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 One could analogize that a penis is the equivalent of a recon element... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkerner Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Yes, envision the penis as a salient, er, penetrating the line. What does one do to eliminate a salient? Why, cut it off at the base, of course. Now, the vagina could be seen as a kill sac....oh, never mind, but I blame the Battle of the Sexes for this divergence from proper decorum.
