Attacking

[Colonel Talvela]

I think this is relevant to the discussion. These are some pics POS posted in the "DK wins perimeter" thread.

looks like at least a company of inf, maybe more. And a few of DKs troops are either routed or running away.


In this picture, it looks like POS troops get stopped by an inferior force, but FOW might be concealing more numbers. However, I am curious what movement order is given to cross open ground. The troops look like they are walking to me, so I assume MTC.


In the last picture, the only troops that appear to be in good shape are the ones in cover.


My point: Any movement given to that entire group to cross that open ground would have pretty much the same result. Which is why I feel that the test on #42 is mostly irrelevant because it starts with an unsound premise - that it is ever a good idea to move a mass of troops across open ground when they have a chance of being engaged. If the sound tactic of "scouting" was employed as it should be, the #42 test would never have any relevance, in my humble opinion.
