Attacking

[Kelen]

:soap: As I've said elsewhere, I'm had limited exprience with CMAK and therefore limited experience with the MTC order. However, it would appear to me that the tests presented so far to demonstrate its superiority over other orders are flawed.

The reasons for this is this are:
a) They all pit troops in the open advancing against unknown, hidden troops to their fore. As has already been said, good commanders wouldn't do this without scouting first.
b) The tests do not give the advancing troops any support. Again, no commander worth their salt would send a platoon, let alone a whole company, into unknown terrain without ordering other units to give them supporting fire; either by area fire as they advance in order to keep any potential defenders heads down, or on overwatch so that they will return fire should an unseen enemy open up.

In either case the defenders shouldn't have total surprise and if they do manage it they they shouldn't be able to bring their full firepower to bear against the advancing units for any length of time.
