Would this work?

Ginzue · 2003-04-12, 07:20 PM

What this is: Its a battleplan my friend and I made up for my Outfit the Chaos Warriors.

We plan on having about 60people
You can see in the picture how its split up.
30 people for the Tank division (yes 30

)
First Platoon
Three groups of 3 Prowlers (9 people) and one Lighting (1 person)
Second Platoon
10 Mini Chaingun and Cycler users
10 MAX armors (3 AA, 4 AI, 3 AV)
4 Snipers (2 on each side, with scouts somtimes)
6 Reavers (or most of the time 4 or 3 reavers and 6 snipers

)

My question is would a formation like this work? Any suggestions would be great

Here is a quick drawing

Seems sturdy, but a couple questions..whats the longe lightning serve to do, secondly will your reavers serve as merely air-based assault or will they couple for recon?

interiesting, is this an ofensive or defensive formation?

what about:
gunships (galaxys)?
medics?
engineers?

Is that your only battle plan or do you have a defensive plan?
Will this be a quick land men for a ground assualt or attack from another base?
Why so many tanks?
Is anyone gonna guard the AMS?
What happens after the initial attack (everything usually goes to hell)?

(Normally im not a jerk like this but i want you to thinck it over more)

It doesn't really make any sense due to there will never be your entire outfit online and everyone communicating to eachother to all get in one place. And it's too organized, it'll never work. No person can be expected to be that organized, to move in a straight line and have everyone in their "special" spots.

Frozen-Monkey · 2003-04-12, 07:37 PM

i know but that is an interesting plan you have
the outfit im in, we'll probably just drop in a bunch of guys and everyone will follow the leader.

The President · 2003-04-12, 07:37 PM

Exactly, in the heat of battle things go wrong, I know not one soldier who in the face of certain death will remain in his assigned position for the sake of the formation. That aside, if you cut down the number of people to a more feasible number and diverted some of the tank force to more necessary locations, guarding the AMS or front line, it may just work.

exactly, now we get to the main problem, what happens after the formation breacks

It's always worth a try though. Isnt it???

The President · 2003-04-12, 07:44 PM

Jebus that works both ways, yes you could try it out but whats the point if its doomed to fail. Like I said if he reorganized some of that force , cut it down, and spread out specialized tasks that just may work. 60 people on at one time and working in exact unity is just short of impossible. All in all that plan looks like it's been thought over greatly but it has certain flaws. If taken back to the drawing boards I think it could be turned into a worthy formation.

true, true well try it when the game comes out and you have enough people

Ill start with the pers then on monkey.

Seems sturdy, but a couple questions..whats the longe lightning serve to do, secondly will your reavers serve as merely air-based assault or will they couple for recon?

The Lightings will be to just make shure the AMS dosent get its ass kicked and just fore a little bit of cover on the outsides. The reavers will also server as recon (I have a godley pilot (real pilot) leading them).

interiesting, is this an ofensive or defensive formation?

This is a offensive formation, will have a similar one for defence with a few tweaks.

what about:
gunships (galaxys)?
medics?
engineers?

I was planning on having a sepreat Galaxy for each group of warriors. I left out the Medics and Engineers becacsue once the initail formation breaks up they would take action.

Is that your only battle plan or do you have a defensive plan?
Will this be a quick land men for a ground assualt or attack from another base?
Why so many tanks?
Is anyone gonna guard the AMS?
What happens after the initial attack (everything usually goes to hell)?

There is a defensive plan. This will be an attack from another base/sanctuary warps, a similar (with many less tanks) will be for quick attack. So many tanks becacsue of their power, all thoses tanks would be a truley fearsome site. Various Lightings will guard the AMS and probly the reavers (when not blitzcreaging) will guard the ams and serve as recon. Once the formation breaks up, they will be lead by ther squad commanders and toon leaders. Such as the 3 prowler squads.
No offence taken Frozen Monkey

After the formation breaks which is sure to happen I assume most would run for the nearest cover. Getting the troops back together into assigned positions would be impossible unless your outfit members are robots. The outfit sounds good except for the whole formation thing. ALso about the tanks... it sounds good... but that many tanks would most likely cause alot of confusion. After the tanks were destroyed or the crew members are forced to bail you are left with little more than lightly armed targets for the enemy....

Still it sounds cool
