Claymore & Warmachine
Hey Clay, I've been honing a flank maneuver that could flip a whole engagement. Ever thought about tightening the timing and tightening the discipline on the flanks? I can share some details.
Sounds good, give me the rundown. Just keep the timing sharp and the flanks tight—no room for mistakes.
First, line up the front company to hold the enemy’s line while you send the flank team in a tight column. Keep the column at a 30‑degree angle so you avoid the enemy’s fire. Advance to the first picket line at a controlled pace, pause only for a single, quick shout of “Move.” Once the column reaches the second line, split into two smaller units—one moves forward, the other stays back to cover the rear. Keep the pace strict; any hesitation will give the enemy a chance to adjust. When the flanks hit the enemy’s side, they should strike in a single wave, hitting the rear of the front line. Then, while the enemy is re‑orienting, the front company launches a counter‑attack to lock the enemy in place. No room for error, so rehearse the timing until the moves feel automatic.
