TDG 7 Recap and Analysis

Again,Continue reading “TDG 7 Recap and Analysis”

TDG 6 Recap and Analysis

TDG 6: COIN is different than the ones preceding it in two ways: Our task is to analyze what our enemy (the guerrillas) have been doing so far and find a way to either thwart their future attacks or destroy them entirely.

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.

TDG 3 Recap and Analysis

In this week’s TDG, we are greatly outnumbered and outgunned. A company of troops has set up just a few miles from our camp and is most likely looking for us. Fortunately, we still have time to take action. The mission I gave was for you to conduct a security patrol to locate and attackContinue reading “TDG 3 Recap and Analysis”
