Minuteman vs. Jäger: A Tale of Two Paradigms
In a previous article, I wrote about training paradigms. Basically, everybody has that one scenario in their mind that they are preparing themselves for with their gear and training. That paradigm is the lens through which we view all our tactical inputs, and shapes everything we do in training and preparation.

TDG 8 Recap and Analysis
TDG 8: Retrans Raid presents us with a classic guerrilla warfare scenario. We have a rear echelon enemy position, isolated and lightly defended, that we can attack at our discretion.

TDG 5 Recap and Analysis
“TDG 5: Convoy Ambush” finds us deep in an enemy rear area near their support units. This is perfect for a Guerrilla force, which can bleed the enemy by attacking his vulnerable supply routes. Our intelligence (which we had to gain ourselves through a recon patrol) tells us when and where an enemy supply convoyContinue reading “TDG 5 Recap and Analysis”
