Has anybody in history found a counter to the Hammer-and-Anvil?

[Prussian to the Iron]

Yeah, even the Canadians couldn't counter it. A battle-ready flying column was routed by a Cree and Assiniboine force less than 1/4 of its size.

Stupid idiots.

and since when did we expect much more from the Canadian military? theres a reason they speak French...

In modern tactics (Especially in paintball), hammer and anvil don't make much sense as both sides don't have a formation to stick to and therefore can easily move around. A more normal tactic these days is a standard envelopment and crossfire.

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....
