[QUOTE="BlackMoria, post: 1782402, member: 424"] I would favor a covert penetration of the fortress instead of an outright assault. Have teams assigned primary missions and backup missions. Try to hit all objectives at once - so have one team go after the leader, one team go for the gate, one team to conduct a hit and run raid on the barracks, a team to act as a diversion......that sort of thing. Ensure that all teams have a secondary objective so if the main objective is realized, they can assist another team having problems with their main objective. Also, I would make the destruction of the gate the first objective and the main effort. Reasoning....if it all goes wrong somewhere else, you don't have to worry about the bad guys escaping via the gate or bringing reinforcements through the gate. Getting the leader would be a bonus, but frankly, he is a secondary mission objective to taking the gate out of comission. Hitting all objectives at the same time spreads out the defenders, makes them waste time trying to get a clear picture of what is going on and make them make hard decisions - like do they save glorious leader or the gate, cause they can't do both....that sort of thing. Get into postion covertly, hit hard and fast and keep the enemy off balance with hit and run teams while mission teams go after their objectives. Don't forget a reserve force to send in, in the event a mission team gets in over its head. Have fun.... [/QUOTE]
