    Had a great battle on this terrain recently. Was playing a squad sized operation I made and we breached a compound, near the left side of the river after receiving fire from a nearby hilltop. In the the compound we breached we continued a section that led 3 different ways, once we stepped inside here in a column formation an insurgent from behind me in a corner, past me, then sat at the next corner we had to cross. We lobbed grenades in the area but had to finally lean in and seal the deal. 1 squad member was mortally wounded in the predicament.

    Looking forward to updates and new projects. Keep up the great work!

    If you have to cross an open field spread your men out in something like a line or wedge formation and perform bounding techniques. Bounding is when an individual or a group move up about 10-30 meters while being covered by the rest of his team from behind.

    Scenario # 1: An open field, have yet to make contact with enemies and your objective is far away. Put your men in a wedge or vee formation. Set up on the opposite side of the field and scan for enemies for a minute or two. If the coast seems clear, send a segment of your team (lets say you have a four man team) men 2 and 4 to move into the field about 30 meters. Once they get to the waypoint, have them lay down and scan the area as you and your other teammate move up past them about 30 meters. Repeat this process until you feel safe and are across the field.

    Scenario # 2: Open field, made contact in a village behind you and the objective is not far from the field. Look on your map for alternate routes to the objective, roads with buildings or scan the geography and topohgraphy for a favorable route. If none can be found prepare to move into the field with "bounding overwatch". Scan for enemies while safely beyond or at the edge of the field for about 3 minutes. If none are seen proceed with bounding overwatch, send half of your team members 20 meters into the field have them lay down and scan for enemies. Move 20 meters past the other half of the team and lay down. (Lets say you come under fire here, about halfway across the open field). Option 1: Engage threat by yourself as your teammates scan for more enemies. Option 2: Pop and throw a smoke grenade in front of you, have half of your team suppress the threat as the other half move up and push through the smoke. Option 3: Pop and throw a smoke grenade in front of you, retreat all together to safety and from there engage the threat or find another way around.

    General Tips:

    In urban areas deploy your team to a staggered column, good for covering 360 degrees.

    For searching for a single man or objective deploy your team in a line formation, you will cover the most ground this way.

    Always have something between you and any sort of threat.
