ME-PBM combat tactics From: freeman@cae.wisc.edu (Samuel Freeman) Date: Mon, 18 Jul 1994 14:39:28 +0000 Here's the Best/Worst Tactic vs. Tactic table from page 55 of the ME rulebook: Tactic Best vs. Worst vs. ====== ======== ========= Charge Hit & Run Ambush Flank Ambush Surround Standard Flank Charge Surround Flank Hit & Run Hit & Run Surround Flank Ambush Charge Flank When I first read the rulebook 8 months ago, I interpreted this table to mean that "Charge is best vs. Hit & Run" and that "Charge is worst vs. Ambush", for example. Now, after fighting many battles, I'm starting to think I've been reading the table backwards. I now think it should read "the best tactic vs. Charge is Hit & Run" and "the worst tactic vs. Charge is Ambush". I've met some vetearn players in battle, and it's obvious from the combat tactics they've chosen that even veteran players are confused on how to interpret this table. What do other ME players think?
