Ambush Posture

Wed Mar 12, 2008 5:46 pm

Asked this under the "Indians, Texas Rangers, etc," Thread but did not receive answer.

Know how to set an ambush but what is the best Posture to use?
Using v1.09a, with both rows of Postures buttons.

Thanks! :hat:

I believe Ambush just give you first fire on first round

It is useful in all kind of positions.

I suppose It gives the same bonus as Skill Surpriser...

I would like to know that too. Ideally it should be nearly impossible that the ambusher gets annhilated.

Set your troop in defend mode. If it manage to set an ambush, it will revert to offensive.

Ambush give you a big boost in initiative a decent bonus in retreat and protection against the enemy.

If you also set the ROE to defend and retreat (blue) then it is more likely your unit will not get annihilated.

The second row of colored buttons.

When I first saw the acronym I thought:

"Return on equity, or fish eggs? What does either one have to do with a wargame?"

Correct usage of terms

So when referring to the two rows of buttons, the first row is know as the “Posture” an the second row as “Rules of Engagement” or ROE?
