The AP has been around for 400 years. There military strategists have had time to perfect there many ways of defeating foes. Here are a few methods. Picket Maneuver: This is the standard battle mauever for the AP. Pickets are a smaller force used to distract a larger force. The larger force will win against the smaller force, but the backup for the smaller force moves in while the larger force has it's hands full. Example:
The REF is fighting the CS. The CS has 30 ground troops, 3 UAR-1 enforcers, and 10 Samas. The REF has 20 ground troops, 6 cyclones and 8 Alphas. The Alphas remain behind as the troops and cyclones engage the enemy. The Samas have there hands full with the cyclones and the ground troops are asaulting the UAR-1 and the other ground troops. After about 1 minute, the alphas move in and take out the UAR-1's while they are busy firng on the troops. Then they help the cyclones take the samas, then the troops, cyclones and alphas finish off the troops. The pickets(the first smaller force) must always be fast and maneuverable. It doesn't work with large slow forces. The point is disrtaction. It doesn't sound very impressive, but it works. Foxhole Maneuver This is a good battle tactic against a numerically superior force in a guerilla situation. Example:
Five UAR-1s and 6 samas's are facing off against three Alphas and 4 Cyclones. Have one alpha and 2 cyclones Hidden in a hole about 12 meters in front of the rest of the forces. As the UAR-1s and SAMASs move in, jump out from behind and fire, as the troops in front fire. The forces in the back should unleash missiles in bunches. This isn't too complicated but it can mean big victory. Anti-Demon: When faced with a small number of powerful supernatural entities, the AP employs this tactic. First about four magicians use distracting spells(like magic net, illusions, cloud of slumber, whatever) or binding circles, then a force of flyers, like SAMAS if you are CS, Alphas, whatever. Rain them with bombs, tthis weakens them. Then you unload on them with your main force. Simple, fast, Easy. Anti-MagicUse a small force of Nano-Borgs and Psi-stalkers to engage them directly, then use long range weapons like lasers to punch them off. Or if you have mechanized forces, frag missiles will help. Kinda vague, I know.
I will post more as I come up with them.
