The Chaos Factor

[Ratzki]

I too, agree only in principle. As a "good" commander would never let a situation arise where a platoon or rouge tank would cause much damage by such a manuver. If your flanks are protected and you keep 1/3rd of your force in reserve for the final push if needed, a platoon or tank running around to the rear of a "prepared" commander should quickly become easy points for you. I guess you could use the tactic, but I don't think I would be counting on it to turn the tide of a battle in your favour.
IMO, the chaos comes from the Veteran gun crew that misses broadside shots allowing a tank to pass through the lines untouched, or the lucky 60mm mortar shell that while area firing takes out the platoon HQ and a portion of the line faulters. The chaos that you create by learning to exploit these opportunities is a better bet. Yes you could spend the time and march all around the map looking for a chance to score big, but probably not doing so, or you could get good at identifying the little misses that all players suffer from and go for some better points at better odds for you. There are many things that can cause chaos, but good tactics should outshine acts of random all the
time.
