[ZOMGWEHAVECOMPETITION] - [Remake] - It's a matter of tactics.

[Dark Mousy]

Well...

 

It's a remake. These will be based on real battles, where real generals came up with ingenious solutions, it's kind of an improvement on The Creator's thread.

 

We will start with a relatively easy case.

 

Note: Please don't google the battles. Really, they are relatively famous, and can be found relatively easily.

 

Prizes: 1 Points for the whole battle. You can earn part marks (points of varying amounts) if you get individual parts correctly.

 

Concord and Lexington, 1775.

 

You are the head of a militia (Capt. John Parker) of approximately 3,800 poorly trained men. Against an elite British Army of 1,500. Armed with rifles.

 

The land is fairly flat, and there are a lot of rivers. Alongside the rivers, there are relatively small towns, and beside them there is a fairly large forest. It is known the British Army likes to march in ranks.

 

You have relatively little time, ~ 10 hours, give or take, no time for fortifications. Your men are poorly trained, and almost incapable of conducting any sort of sniper attack. How to avoid the loss of territory, and keep casualties to a minimum?

 

First one to get it right: Le Createur.

 

Concord and Lexington, 1775, Part 2.

 

Well. The American army tried to use guerrilla tactics.

 

Like so:

 

Simple have your men take out the enemy on the march. They hide in the forest for protection and shoot when they have an openning. Hiding in the river bed will help as well' date=' but if the British make it to town we will have to stand there.

[/quote']

 

The British Army, supposedly headed for Lexington, makes a turn, into the forest for Concord. They yell "Huzzah!", given the density of the forest, it's almost impossible to see them wearing their symbolic red coats. Your army is clearly confused. You don't want to lose Concord, what to do now?

 

Lexington and Concord 1775, Part 3

It's the shot heard around the world. Remember' date=' the British Army is unwilling to fire. As that would spark an open revolt. Of course now, 250 years happened after the fact, the British dispute this.

 

Lexington and Concord Part 3:

 

Unwilling to fire, the British Army retreats, a bad tactical move. The retreating British Army joins forces with the regiment from Lexington on the other side of the river by crossing a bridge. Should they hold or take the bridge?

[/quote']

 

These are actually fairly easy. Comon!

[Sploda]

[Charizard]

So easy, just go to the army. Declare you surrender and give them the bud light. Seriously its the best way possible to win the fight. But then everyone would get angry at me because there would be no bud light.

 

Or you could send the army to a forest and then they could use there guns to shoot from there then use whatever they got to use a full strike.

[Guest Chaos Pudding]

Collapse the ground, then make fabulous gestures.

 

Oh, wait, I thought we were talking about Code Geass. :S

 

Anyway, guerrilla tactics for the win.

[Zimiri of the Muse]

go guerilla and once a rank is all down take their guns and any other useful items then repeat

[Guest Uchiha Itachi]

go guerilla and once a rank is all down take their guns and any other useful items then repeat

 

yeah exactly

[Zeroshot]

The british army back then used to fight a "Gentalman's war".

Gentalman's war was fought as 2 armies meeting in the center, then one side would shoot, then the other and so forth.

How to win? Cheat.

[bury the year]

Wasn't this the one battle of the Revolutionary War where the Americans won fairly? Wait, that's Saratoga. Dx

 

Guerilla tactics, then. That's how they won all the others.

[Dark Mousy]

Above is part 2.

[Sploda]

You let them pass you by Once they do you turn and fire before fleeing to new cover. If this does not work then you can either fire randomly or you can move ahead of them and attempt to set up a position.

[Dark Mousy]

Incorrect.

[Sploda]

What do you mean "Incorrect". Are we supposed to imitate how the real leaders did? if not then I can't be "Incorrect" for that is what I would do.

[Dark Mousy]

Well. The old leaders came up with something genious here. It's taught in all history classes.

[Sploda]

I'm sorry. I'm taking AP World History, a class that doesn't focus on the exploit of the U.S.A. during the American Revolution. I get to do that next year. Last US history class I had was in 7th grade.

[Sploda]

The british should take the bridge while the Americans should hold it. It is a stragetic position and whoever controls it has the advantage.

 

And you were disregarding what you typed. You said they turned into the forest then suddenly they are in town. I think you meant they turn into town.

[Dark Mousy]

Okay. Sorry. English is my THIRD language, I was unclear. What I meant was British reinforcements arrived from Lexington TO the bridge, which joins the retreating British Army. The Americans are still in the forest.
