Military Tactics

Strikethrough Warfare (Sea to Land Invasion)



ONE
Naval ships form ranks several miles from the coastline to be out of range from land fire, however in range to launch sea-to-land artillery attacks. Bombing will be prioritised in the following order; Land-Based Artillery, Major Defensive Positions, Runways/Hangars, Frontline Fortifications, Industry, Minor Defensive Positions, other.

Air Resistance? Anti-aircraft guns.
Sea Resistance? Naval superiority will be acquired, thus obliterating any ships in their path.
Land Resistance? n/a


TWO
Utilising anti-aircraft weaponry, any attacking bombers/aircraft will be shot down immediately, making use of the ACs to combat incoming from sea and air.

Air Resistance? n/a
Sea Resistance? Naval superiority would have been acquired.
Land Resistance? n/a


THREE
Shelling from sea to land will commence.

Air Resistance? Air superiority would have been acquired.
Sea Resistance? Naval superiority would have been acquired.
Land Resistance? Futile.


FOUR
Once the ships and aircraft clear the way on the ground, transport ships will dock on the coast and deliver large quantities of men to begin advancing on the land speedily, making use of transports and tanks. Bombing of the coastline will continue, and air support will remain on stand-by should the squads on land encounter any severe opposition.

Air Resistance? Fighters dispatched immediately to counter the offensive.
Sea Resistance? n/a
Land Resistance? Bombers dispatched and tanks used to force soldiers back.


FIVE
A portion of soldiers will flank the hostile soldiers on the front. With assistance from sea and air shelling, infantry/defences will be crippled, allowing the rapid victory claimed by the men on the ground.

Air Resistance? Fighters will escort the troops at all times.
Sea Resistance? n/a
Land Resistance? Should an ambush occur, men will withdraw and allow bombers to clear the way.


SIX
The other portion of soldiers will begin to advance through the mainland, should they encounter any significant resistance, they will form a defensive line, halting and acquiring advantage points before the opposition can. Snipers, tanks and air strikes shall be used in these instances to assist with the ground assault.

Air Resistance? Fighters will escort the troops at all times.
Sea Resistance? n/a
Land Resistance? n/a


SEVEN
Bombers will be dispatched to destroy airports, industry, major residential areas, large quantities of troops and any other key military zones.

Air Resistance? Fighters will escort the bombers, however should any significant resistance be encountered, a full retreat shall commence.
Sea Resistance? n/a
Land Resistance? n/a


Vanguard Warfare (Land-based Invasion)



ONE
If possible, naval ships shall begin bombing the fortified enemy to speed up the attack.

Air Resistance? Anti-aircraft guns.
Sea Resistance? Ships shall defend themselves before the troops on the ground. They must avoid being sank at all costs.
Land Resistance? Once any naval threats are destroyed, artillery on the land shall be targeted first before enemy infantry.


TWO
Bombers shall begin engaging the positioned troops from the other end from the attacking vessels, to further distract their focus.

Air Resistance? Fighters shall protect friendly bombers and destroy any hostile aircraft.
Sea Resistance? n/a
Land Resistance? n/a


THREE
Advancing British troops shall approach as quickly as possible, manipulating the enemy's transport facilities.

Air Resistance? Fighters will be withdrawn from the frontline to defend troops if the approaching infantry come under fire.
Sea Resistance? n/a
Land Resistance? n/a


FOUR
Our soldiers shall span out along a front, assuming temporary defensive positions.

Air Resistance? Fighters dispatched immediately to counter the offensive.
Sea Resistance? n/a
Land Resistance? n/a


FIVE
Snipers and heavily equipped soldiers shall begin to take out enemies at longer range.


SIX
Systematically, enemy waves shall be wiped out. The soldiers shall make a slow and steady advance across enemy territory, being weary of mines, cutting through barbed wire safely and sniping any turret positons or even enemy snipers. Fighters shall cover the men at all times.

SEVEN
Tanks shall rip down any defences the enemy has in place and soldiers shall soon follow to take out the last of the hostilities. The bulk of troops will pick up speed and continue to advance through territory swiftly, conquering key command points as they progress.


Invincible Warfare (Land to Sea Defence)



ONE
Artillery will begin to immediately shell any incoming ships. Our own ships shall be deployed to slow down the invaders, however no large assaults shall occur at this point. Should any ship be on the brink of sinking, it shall retreat immediately.

TWO
A more sophisticated and organised fleet shall be sent around the attackers to deliver a heavier blow from an alternate flank. This shall buy time to allow for a land defence to be organised and deliver some heavy damage to the attackers. Stray enemy soldiers shall shot immediately, take no prisoners.

THREE
Artillery shall bombard any landing ships that attempt to embark troops on the mainland.

FOUR
Should troops manage to gain access to the land and pass through the immediate front, the main frontline shall be already assembled, due to the time saved from the distractions for the incoming fleet. Already our soldiers will be in advantageous positions, ready to annihalate incoming enemies who have no idea where they are going.

FIVE
Aside from the fundamental front line, reserve troops will have been organised immediately.

SIX
The extra forces shall push towards the enemy forces from multiple unconventional angles to spread their fire. Most importantly however, the forces shall blow into the approaching soldiers behind their front advancing soldiers, as if to blow a whole in their advancing line. This will severely weaken and disorganise the approaching enemy, leaving them defenceless to an attack from every direction.

SEVEN
Any remaining hostilities shall be swiftly destroyed.


Dominion Warfare (Land-based Defence)



ONE
All forces behind the front shall be alerted immediately. Fighters shall embark as soon as possible to begin engagement of enemy craft as soon as possible.

TWO
Bombers shall also be dispatched to begin attacking the advancing troops swiftly. This shall distract their focus from advancing and also buy time to allow the front line to become prepared.

THREE
Troops behind the front line shall immediately move into position while fighters in the air hold back the forces.

FOUR
Once the enemy makes it through, fire shall begin before the enemy can even locate properly. Friendly forces shall not push forward, the enemy shall simply move into our killing machine. Enemy fighters shall continue to be engaged, bombers being the priority. Once air superiority is gained, the defenceless enemies on the ground shall be bombed into submission.
