FASCAM - Gamey or not?

[Zemke]

I'm not saying that I would use these tactics, guys, only that they don't seem to be any great departure or perversion of the game system.

I don't disagree with what you say about surrender, but it is the manner of HOW that would come about, or more specifically how these units got to this point, by opponents shooting 10 miles of FASCAM, and putting attack helicopters to boot on top of them.

Again, the density of a FASCAM mine field is low, and to be high would require LOTS of rounds, (see web site and do the math). Also, we are talking about un-observed fire, not observed fire, executed not at the battalion, brigade, even division level, but artillery battalions from at least Army Group and below. The coordination alone would take forever, the amount of rounds needed huge, in a military not know for it's flexibility, with no know doctrine to use FASCAM in this manner.

So ten miles of FASCAM with attack helicopters on the mine fields, which cause affected units to be isolated, but now they cannot even move into the mine field because the attack helicopters are there, and is NOT a "great departure" of the "game system", I guess we will have agree to disagree.

Anyway, now this thread has got me frustrated, I am going to let this go, and drink a nice cold glass of tea and think.
