Hey Everyone
Finally an area for tactics... I often wondered if everyone just went out to the games to pose with their gear...

We've found two guys with radio's can defend against MANY uncoordinated. Here's the most basic tactic I find useful for advancing. Keep in mind we usually play 2 on 1, 3 on 3 is a big game for us. Also, I have no military experience (probably quite obvious).

"Find, Fix, Flank, Finish"

Alpha = attacking player once
Brave = attacking player two
Charlie = defending player one
Delta = defending player two (if there is one)

Alpha and Bravo are advancing, and Alpha notices Charlie and wants to advance beyond him. Alpha signals Bravo to start flanking. Alpha starts peppering Charlie with fire to keep his head down. First a long burst to intimidate. Then a few pops here and there. Bravo moves sideways right (in relation to facing Charlie), and then forward while training his gun at Charlie's cover. As Alpha keeps up fire, Charlie keeps his head down, Bravo finally gets a clean shot and takes out Charlie. Alpha and Bravo are now free to advance.

If there is a Delta, then Alpha has to keep fire on both Charlie and Delta, and Bravo can take them out one at a time.

We've found this works good, and is very simple. I suspect it's the bread and butter of two man fireteam tactics.

Thoughts?
