@RSWars @graviteam Great comments and pictures. We would like to see more details or video of the experiments you are running too. Indeed, the initial engagements between two forces' respective screens or recon elements can influence which side gains the initiative early.

@RSWars does great analysis using computer simulations. In this article they put some of our tactics to the test in the game Arma 3. Units are increasingly using such simulations for training. There is no substitute for live fire but simulations can offer a valuable supplement.

Small Unit Tactics - The Hidden Flank of the Wedge Formation
https://t.co/NGB2jSZoq0
Every squad formation can be evaluated by the firepower it can deliver in all directions. If a particular direction is not covered by enough weapons, this is considered as a vulnerability and an opportunity for the ENY attacking from that direction/angle. The concept is masterly explained in "Squad-Level Infantry Rural Combat: Small Unit Tactics and Battlecraft for Infantry and Recon Units", by Special Tactics LLC.
Details and mini video in my blog.

@RSWars Great article and battlefield test using Arma 3. The test confirms the vulnerability of the heavy-side flank of the wedge. If you notice the test also shows how a single burst of enfilade fire (through the formation's long axis) can bring down multiple threats.

@coilercreative @RSWars We're sorry to hear that Coiler. So far most of the reactions we have gotten to the book have been positive. However, we'd be very interested to hear more specifics about what you didn't like about the book. Constructive criticism is the best way to improve!

@RSWars @WarfareMastery ... all the way across the door. If you pause in the "fatal funnel" it is more likely that you could catch a bullet fired indiscriminately in the direction of the doorway. Remember that bullets can go through walls too. Great post once again.

[Special Tactics @TacticiansUnite]

@RSWars @WarfareMastery ... intersection to take maximum advantage of cover and concealment provided by the wall. Next, the first half of your "sweep" of the door was good (and allowed you to eliminate a threat in the room) however do not forget to KEEP MOVING and sweep...
