Nisorin Lertis, reporting for Intermediate Combat.
Seeing the world through a child's eyes is truly a unique experience. It helps you to retrieve that sense of awe, magic and wonder that you lost as you lost your innocence. Tell me, when was the last time that you thought of those childhood dreams? You know, the ones that you used to spend all your time wondering and fantasizing about? Have you forgotten them so easily? Have you forgotten what it felt like to see something for the first time, to see the magic in the mundane? Everyone says you should take the time to 'Stop and smell the roses'. But you should also take the time to look for the fairies, embrace the wind and enjoy the rain. Just once today, stop for a moment and look into that little piece of nature you pass everyday. Perhaps you may see something you did not notice before.

First lesson. Tactical analysis. Tell me, what, in your opinion, is the meaning of tactics?

The real time change of battle actions depending on changes in the battlefield, enemy condition, ally/own force's conditions, and other relevant factors.

Actually, Nisorin, upon thinking about it I find it odd that the formula placed you here. Looking over your scores, you're close enough to the Advanced Score that I'm going to promote you, considering I know your posting style. I'll move this to Advanced Battle.

Alright. Was my answer to your question valid?

First off.

Explain to me in your own words the meaning of retreat, and then give me a situation in which retreat would be an advised action.

Retreating is a tactical option where the army, or a section of a military force leaves the battlefield to either minimize losses in a losing battle, or to lure the enemy into a trap.

An applicable situation would be a small recon force meeting a large siege force and getting caught. They would be best served to retreat so that they can safely radio their superiors and get a trap set up, to which the recon force would be used to lure the larger enemy group into.

Correct.

Now, I am going to give you a situation. Then you're going to give me the best course of action. In your eyes anyway.


You're the leader of a relatively large magic based infantry company, comprised of around seventy soldiers. Your orders are to attack a heavily defended enemy position, which contains around a hundred and twenty soldiers. You were informed that if you do not succeed the entire battle will be lost. You need to take the Bunker to succeed. Lay out of the area is as such.

The world is a mess..and I just need to..rule it.

I will have a small group of my soldiers, perhaps five, take a light amount of plastic explosives, use magic to transform them and the explosives into fish small enough to swim through the river without seeming out-of-place, while a second small strike team(ten) heads up the side of the hill just to the left of the picture's edge transfigured into small snakes, placing more explosives at the bottom of the cliff. They will detonate the cliff explosives once safely away, giving the distraction needed for the river group to get in and place their explosives.

Once the river group plants their explosives and gets out, a third small group (three) will come in from the road, looking like ragged, wounded civilians. They will speak of an attack made upon a nearby town still allied to the owners of the bunker, and request help. Either:

1: The bunker takes men to go and aid the town, thereby lessening the amount of soldiers available to defend the bunker, or

2: They will deny the civilians' requests and demand they leave, still granting a distraction for snipers to take out any guards on the roof.

The river group's explosives will now be detonated, disabling the hydro-power plant and thus the automated defenses. The main force will then come forth, split between swimming up the river, slithering up the hill near the cliff and flying to the now cleared roof. They'll flank the bunker while still hidden, the snake group returning to normal once up the ruined cliff, and the river group returning to normal once inside the power plant, and the birds once on the roof. The snake group will enter from the left side and secure that entrance, the river group securing the water route, and the bird group securing the roof. The birds will then set up snipers on the roof to cover the front exit, as well as any rear exits.

The river group will use the river-water to freeze foes, or to lock enemies in rooms for gassing.

Alright, this will be a bit harder.

You're the commander of a large army that intends to invade a certain city, you have a force of three hundred non-magic soldiers as well as fifty magic capable soldiers, each are equipped with a basic assault rifle, four fragmentation grenades, and one pound of explosives. You also have a single powerful 'Rhino' type energy cannon, this cannon takes around ten minutes to charge. It's capable of destroying the enemy's gate, or a piece of it's wall. It's unlikely you'll get more then one shot off. They have a force of two-hundred and thirty soldiers. The enemy soldiers are equipped high-powered assault rifles and two fragmentation grenades. The enemy has fortified their primitive stone wall with a total of twenty-two turrets these turrets fire one shot of lethal energy every thirty seconds. Powered by the building in the top left corner.

Twenty-five of the fifty magic soldiers use an invisibility spell on themselves and move up to the walls, just underneath the turrets. They plant their explosives just underneath the turrets, planting their explosives on the wall just underneath each turret while three plant their explosives on the hinges of the gate. Meanwhile, the remaining magic soldiers begin working together to prepare magical artillery fire, enlisting the help of the other magic soldiers once they return.

Once the artillery is ready, with one minute remaining in the Rhino's charge time, the main force begins charging at the base while the mages split up. Some start using their magic to throw primed frag grenades over the wall, while others fling the artillery at the center building's edges, causing the edges to collapse onto the nearest enemies. Once the main force is just outside the turret's range, the explosives on the wall are detonated, taking out the wall underneath the turrets as well as those enemies either on top, or closest to the sections of wall near the turrets, as well as the gate itself. The grenades take out the men atop the wall.

At this point, the Rhino cannon moves in towards the left side of the wall, aiming for the power plant building, firing as soon as it's charged.

The magic soldiers that were throwing the artillery fireballs move in while invisible, headed towards the back of the entrenchment to start hit-and-run tactics on the two largest groups of soldiers towards the right, first freezing their guns then firing at the soldiers, aiming for the grenades in an attempt to set them off before they can be thrown.

The main force continues up the sides, throwing grenades at any groups of soldiers that are closer than six feet between each other.

Alright, total for Military section grade would be a B.

Time for Martial section.

You are a relatively well skilled Wushu fighter, one day you stumble upon a violent crime being committed against a child by two large men. They are well known Wushu fighter's who are known to abuse their skills, they intend to kill the child. You don't want this to happen, the first fighter is bigger and stronger, but slower in the body and mind. The other is weaker but faster and smarter. GOGOGOGO

I toss a nearby garbage can at the bigger dude to catch him off guard, then dart in to nail the faster guy in between the legs with a kick, followed quickly by a flat-handed jab to the bigger guy's neck, cutting off his ability to breathe. Then, while squashed-balls man is getting up, I use a similar attack on him, since he would not have been able to see me use it on Pipsqueak. While he's struggling to breathe, I roll between big-boy's legs to end up behind him, kick him behind the knees to force him to stumble, then jump onto his back with a stomp to send him to the ground. Jumping off his now prone body, I'd send two simultaneous rigid-fingered jabs to Mr. Newly-A-Woman's kidneys. While they two martial artists are distracted by not being able to breathe very well yet, as well as the new pain in Tiny's back and Mr. Bitch's crotch, I'd pick the kid up and run.

Rather good, seeing that we've covered the three basics of battle. Military, magical, and martial, I think it's time for a sparring match.

Choose your character from any that you have to go up against something, think of this as a quiz. Do well and you'll get to take a test, make the topic in the OOC section.
