Speed in Meeting Engagements

[Fullhouse]

Just to throw in my 2 cents.

A pertinent fact that has been ignored imho is how small calibre artilery can be extremely effective at breaking and routing an enemy if used correctly.

If you drop small calibre art on a foe and that is the extent of your foes suffering then the most you can hope for is a few insignificant casualties and some suppresion.

Add in direct fire from platoons and HMGs etc and support from onboard artilery and you have broken and routing. I lhave got good results from fixing the enemy at the flags with direct fire then droping 81mm on them and suplemenitng this with a significant onboard artilery park of onboard morters.
This can break and rout a company.

Not to say I dont rush and hold a flags, but I cant gaurentee that I will make the flags first, and not having seen the map with its vaguries of fortune, I like to equip my self for the above tactic, this way if a flag rush to certain or all flags is unrealistic, I have made preparations to dig out the enemy from those flags I couldnt claim first.
