REPOST TDG 16 Recap and Analysis

Originally posted on July 16, 2022

In “The Long Road Home,” we have another very hairy situation.  Our convoy has taken several security measures and still has fallen victim to an ambush.  This is an example of a situation where, despite us doing everything right, we still end up on the short end of a gunfight.  Combat is like that.  We can increase our odds through training, sound judgement, and good doctrine, but every time we go out we are still rolling the dice, and even a 20-sided die will sometimes roll a 1.

Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, the enemy has successfully initiated an ambush against our convoy and 1st squad is unable to move.  Fortunately, we used good tactics by dispersing our vehicles such that only one of them is in the kill zone of the ambush.  This grants our squad freedom of maneuver so that we can choose how best to react.
