No matter what system you use, if the players just focus on what THEY want to do, the problem will remain. My group uses strategy and tactics in every combat, so I have the opposite issue. No one ever fights alone; if someone gets ganked from behind, at least one other PC will adjust to provide aid. Even when I've forcefully pulled them apart, I've seen the sorceress completely ignore her two enemies to drop flaming death down upon a group of enemies that were already hurt (focus fire is their favorite strategy). You get he idea.I think before you begin some massive rule change, I'd talk to the players about it. It might be that they don't actually care about tactics or working together (everyone's a batman/hulk/wolverine type). It might be that they don't know how, and you could teach them. It might bet that they think they are using tactics, and you need to have the monsters show them how it's done. Another possibility is that 5E combat isn't for you, and there's nothing wrong with that (that's where either a massive house rule or changing games comes in).</blockquote>
