TacOps PBEM - Final Results and lessons learned

Lessons learned:
1.       Helicopter rocket pods and air strikes may make infantry hit the deck, but they’re not very good at actually killing them.
2.       Machine guns lose accuracy over distance.
3.       Retreat can be too early.
4.       HE artillery is useless against armoured vehicles.
5.       MANPADs can be very deadly, especially when used in numbers.
6.       Smoke can be very useful and needs to be used.
7.       Information is a weapon of mass destruction – you need to have eyes on as much of the battlefield as possible.
8.       Don’t waste transport choppers.
9.       Check the terrain beforehand.
10.   Pre-set TRPs are essential.
