tar Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 There are lots of links which point to CMBO specific tactics. Also, you will find that most real world tactics will work quite well in CMBO. I don't have most of the links readily to hand (and they don't seem easy to find on the battlefront web site), but here are a couple to get you started: http://thforums.com/CMBO/index.php Look for the basic training for CMBO link. http://www.combatmission.com/ Combat Mission HQ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Hussar Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Some simple rules on the attack: Bring overwhelming force to bear on one point.- even though the attack defend ratio is only 3:2 the attacker has the initiative as where the battle will be fought- so he can pack that area, with just enough left elsewhere to slow/stop a counter attack. The defender does not have this advantage- he must defend the whole line. 3 to 1 ratio is Good. 5 to 1 is better. (Obvious- but dont forget it) Re-inforce success, and only success. Use fire and movement- while one section moves, other sections from the same platoon cover. Repeat this idea up the chain of command- platoons covering each other. Use fire and movement to break the task down into managagable chunks- e.g.- to capture E -- 1 squad captures A, covered by 2 squad. 1 and 3 squads cover 2 squad as they advance to capture B (to cover objective D). 1 and 2 cover 3 sqd as the move to C, which also covers D. Finally 1 sqd captures D. Be prepared to get in close WITH OVERWHELMING FORCE. The average range of decisive infantry combat in 2000 is the same as 1930- less than 30 meters. The rest is just suppression. You can shoot all day and get nowhere near. A bayonette makes an intensly personal statement- that of 'only one of us gets out of this alive. I'm prepared to take the risk- are you?' Seize and keep the initative. Make him respond to you- not vice versa. While he is dealing with your plans, he is not actioning his own. Use combined arms, and assign tasks to those units good at them. (this sounds obvious, but we all do it- who's local, rather than who is best.) Here endith the lesson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
