Time for a quick reminder of some of the basics.



There was a time Heavy Infantry and Light Infantry had meaning.



Heavy Infantry, the Hoplites, took and held ground. They were armored, disciplined and strong. They comprised the core of the Greek Armies. Ground was of value. In the Hellenes, good land was hard to come by. Those who owned it gained strength. Those who lost it lost strength.



Land was of value. But also of value, which the greeks embraced, was the war of annihilation. here cavalry and light infantry, which could pursue and harass a broken enemy, came into their own as the retreating rabble were encumbered by their own heavy armor and, having broken, could be taken by swarms of Peltasts and cavalrymen.



While obviously you can't annihilate the enemy (aka Antifa and their black bloc allies) in this fight you must continue the pursuit, as was successfully done in the latest Battle of Berkley.



So whats the point of this quick history lesson.



The battles will be of two stages; the meeting of the heavy infantry and the pursuit of the broken enemy. Both are essential. While the main line can do this, forces dedicated to each ensure that both will occur.



But pursue for what?



GREAT QUESTION!



Moldilocks wanted scalps.



Well, it just so happens the black block has scalps.



A point scale.



1 point for a bandana

3 points for a black jacket

5 points for a leather jacket.

20 points for an antifa flag.



100 points for a picture taken with a zip tied known leader of BAMN/Antifa etc forced to wear a MAGA hat.



Remember your Homer! The stripping of enemy dead (or at least embarrassed) is an ancient and honorable hobby.



While you will get a few bandanas and jackets during the meeting of the heavy infantry; its in the pursuit where the real money will be made. So pursuit is mandatory. Pursuit is the reason for the fight in the first place. You fight to break the enemy, and then you pursue them until you can pursue them no longer.



Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.



We must have objectives beyond simply the defense of speakers. A humiliated enemy to be mocked for all eternity.



And every time antifags come against the forces of Kek, we will broadcast our victories and we can declare, with Quantifiable means, how many points each battle earned. And the Pepes across the land can boast with pride that their ass whooping of Antifa was 250 points higher than someone elses.



No individual's score will matter. Only the cumulative score for the mass of Pepes in that battle will matter.



And pepes can hang with pride captured flags and bandanas as triumphs in the age old combat.



Anyway. Just an old soldiers observation of a new era of warfare looking remarkably a lot like an old era of warfare. View Quote
