    Stupid idiots.

    you would be surprised. from an overview standpoint, as a commander, it wouldnt seem logical with such small units. But it actually does when you're there on the ground.


    another tactic i used to its extent during that day was Spotting. there was a line of trees nearby, with a clearing on the other side, basicaly invisible to the enemy. crawled right up there and called out their positions, til one of them rushed me while I had all of 5 rounds left. woulda got him too....
