Vistrel & SteelEcho
Vistrel, suppose we have to move a convoy through a contested corridor with only partial intel. What variables would you rank highest in your decision matrix to minimize ambush risk?
We focus on three things: 1. Terrain coverage—how many sightlines the enemy has, 2. Timing—when the convoy moves relative to known patrol patterns, and 3. Force allocation—how many units we put on flank versus core. Anything else is secondary.
Add a fourth: supply lines. Even with perfect sightlines, a single fuel outage can halt the whole column. Also map out a backup route in case a chokepoint is suddenly blocked. That’s it.
Right, add supply lines as a hard variable, then a contingency route for choke points. That’s all.
All set. Run the simulations now and keep the parameters locked.
