[TheRobFather]

I challenge anyone here to a Tactical Challenge!

There will be ten "rounds," each one a different challenge.
NEW NOTE! I AM GRADING THESE NOW ON POINTS, CAUSE ITS EASIER!
There are 3 Events:
1. A battle map- Where I give you a map like so...
X X X X X X
X X X X X X X X

OOO OOO OOO OOO
OOO OOO OOO OOO
(maps like these are not graded on RIGHT or WRONG. They are graded on tactical merit.)
2. A question about a battle or a stratagy- Where I ask you a question like: "You are planning on psycing the enemy out. What do you play over loud speakers?
A. Explosions
B. Clocks Ticking
C. Troops marching
(there are usually graded on right or wrong, and are not always my questions to begin with, so don't argue)
and
3. What-If scenarios- Where I give you a question about a battle or attack: "If the enemy attacks here (map) what will you do as a counter-attack?"
(these are not graded on RIGHT or WRONG. They are graded on tactical merit.)
MORE EVENTS LATER!


If you win 70% of the points (100 possible), YOU WIN!
(TEO, can you offer a prize?)

[TheRobFather]

GREAT! Let's start then!

First Event!
Question:
You are planning to counter-attack and enemy position across a river. What should you do to divert the enemy's attention?
A. Pull your units away from the river until the last possible second: The Enemy will think that you are retreating.
B. Build lots of different bridges across the river: The Enemy wouln't know which to defend.
C. Build bunkers and entrench your troops: The Enemy will think that you are preparing for a attack.

Remeber, there is a "right" answer that will be worth more points then the rest of the answers!
(Note: Based on the Soviet attack on Occupied Stalingrad)

[glow=purple,2,300]I see faults with A and B. A is faulty because that's been done a thousand times, and the ememy might have second doubts about your so called "retreat" and could prepare themselves for a "surprise" attack.

B is faulty because how the heck are you going to build bridges across a river without the enemy shooting you to pieces? They aren't brain-dead, you know.

C seems the most likely, because not only does it fool the enemy (hey, I WOULD have been fooled), but it also gives you protection when they make their next move.

So my answer is C.[/glow]

[TheRobFather]

Well... Here the program (Command Desicions) is pointing out that the N azis just sat there and let them do almost whatever they wanted.

They said B.
I say: You are right.

So, I will give you the full 10 points for that, for giving a full, good answer with reasons for why you thought that each wouldn't work.

[TheRobFather]

Here is your next challenge:

You have forces: each O is one squad
The enemy has forces there: each X is a squad
Your land is the northern section, behind the northern river.
The enemies land is the southern section, under the southern river.
You can attack enemy units, but both of them will be "out of commision" (you can't use them anymore)

Move your troops to cut off the enemy from retreating back to their territory. Use North, Northeast, ect... to move them.

[glow=purple,2,300]Um...Oscero, there's a problem here.

Heh...There are no Xs. Just dots. Which dots are the enemy?[/glow]

[TheRobFather]

Sorry... I messed up there. It's now red and blue. You are blue, the enemy is red. Same goal as before.

[Marakai Amenhotep]

[glow=purple,2,300]Um...What's their territory? North, south, east, or west?[/glow]

[TheRobFather]

sorry about that. I was in a rush to get done and forgot these things. I am gonna modify the post pic, so we can have less clutter on the post.

[CoffeeBeanAvenger]

interesting.

One possible solution: send the two easternmost units southwest, while sending the southwestern unit Southsoutheast, thus attempting to create a linkup two of them, while useing the second eastern unit to push on the enemys eastern flank.

Meanwhile, the three northern units should push south and a little east, forcing the enemy to retreat ane hopefully isolating the unit at Aravi and compelling it to withdraw. (it's other option is a suicide run, but that would just be stupid.)

If all goes well, this would form a successful "hammer and anvil" movement, allowing you to crush your opponent or at least inflict heavy losses.

*blinks* I have no idea what you're talking about.

Robin dearest, you need to think about the relevence of your posts. A post such as this, in an old, dead thread, just saying that you don't know what they mean... Does nothing but pose an annoyance. Please try and work more on making posts that help things along, and don't post just for the sake of posting, it's quite irksome.
