Let’s Win Together!

Tactics is the art of winning, that is to impose your rules and style of conducting a battle on the opponent. This is like a game of chess. How can you calculate your game? Five moves ahead? Ten? It is said, that the grandmasters usually calculate fifty steps ahead! To play this well, sorry, that is to fight, it is required to master the certain arts of categorized thinking and to learn a tactical dictionary. It is like music.

Of course you can play by ear, but a symphony concert with an orchestra can not. The army compounds, that lead successful fights, always remind us of played ensembles.

We just learn the musical notes in a class of tactics, but the instructors can already identify future commanders with the natural talant among the beginners who will soon become the elite of the new Army.

To help you understand how all this happens, we invite you to join us in completing the homework that the head of UVC-Info has received this weekend (all students received the different assignments).

In front of you there is a map of an area where the battle training is going to take place. We have already mapped it to determine routes and settlements. The area does not have industrial areas. There are a couple of villages, high grounds, a bit of "greens" and wetlands. The scale is 1:50000. One square is one square kilometer if we have correctly understood the instructor.

We need to position our forces. We have the following to work with: an infantry reinforced with a tank platoon and a squad of ATGMs.

Hint: The company consists of three platoons and the fourth one is the command. The motorized platoon consists of 3 IFVs (infantry fighting vehicles) and 1 BTR - 41 persons.

Goal: To take over the high grounds in front of towns of Biloskelevate and Tabun and to set a defense around them.

Intelligence: The enemy is in town of Ohulchansk. Help us to plan correctly our fighting positions!
