Ambushed!

It's horrible to be ambushed.......
Therefore foot patrols are useless. It's just gives oppotunity to the enemy.
Better to move in the shadows and strike at the enemy, otherwise stay in-camp...think Iraq and IEDs -

Element of surprise is essential to execute a successful ambush on a superior force. No surprise, ambusher get killed instead.Originally posted by Dr Who:

With surprise, aggression and speed, inferior force have high chance to dominate a superior force. You can kill someone staying in fortified position if you can surprise him as well.
In conclusion, all military offensive action require some element of surprise to be successful. -

Her assasination is considered to be a terrorist act and not military(eg ambush) in nature.Originally posted by Jamie Zawinski:tell that to benazir -
Agreed. But more than often, every side will have surprises of their own. =DOriginally posted by aikchongtan:Element of surprise is essential to execute a successful ambush on a superior force. No surprise, ambusher get killed instead.

is that man crushed by train or killed by his enemy? seems more like the former to me. or maybe got killed and got crushed thereafter. -
You can ambush an ambush as well...
One American tatic that that insurgents fear in Iraq is the use of fake convoys of armoured trucks along hot spots to bait an ambush, and once the insurgents fire upon what they think is a convoy of soft skinned trucks they suddenly find themselves under attack and outnumbered from armoured units that seem to come out of nowhere.
Military tatics, depends on how creative you are. -

In such case, the element of surprise that is so critical to carry out an ambush is already lost. The target of ambush is already aware of what, where, when, how they are likely to be ambushed and are ready with instant reactive counter-move. They are just drawing the enemy into the open for a royal-bushwack.
Notice that armour is available to protect the bait for the Come-On? -
Just like chess play. You read your opponent's intent. If you can read all your opponent's move ie., full awareness, you are on the way to a quick victory.Originally posted by Shotgun:Agreed. But more than often, every side will have surprises of their own. =D
Mind against mind. Not brawn against brawn. Intel and logistic won most battles.
