I thought so.

What is wrong with having a CO in small games.

Agree not to use the zoom

They make the calls on what is going down.

They act as the teams radio man.

Role play.

Most squads in real life are made of 8-10 warriors.

If your team has two 6 man squads the CO can be sort of the squad leader. Bottomline, they make the calls, but they see a lot of action also.

squad one would be his/her fire team alpha,

and squad two can be his fire team bravo.

The rule that the CO should not see any action and focus on commanding should be waved on small games. Especially with TacMod were the mature level is pretty high.

The cool thing about this is that as the CO you do not need to worry about your (large) squad spawning on you. You can lead the charge, how tight is that?

In conclusion, the CO position in the small tac mod games should be filled a lot. It is just that players do not see the importance for it.

I believe, a good tactical squad leader should take this spot early in the game. As in after a 6 man squad starts the 7 person goes CO if they are comfortable with it.

I have not played the mod since the Tac Mod scrim in the summer, but you guys are making me want to play it more.

This way of playing will make the actual squad leaders seem like radio guys and the assistant squad leader. again, they are part of a larger squad.

So in conclusion
13 man squad.

1 Squad leader (actually the CO)
2 fire team leaders (actually the squad leaders)
10 squad members.

This can also work well with two, four man squads, and one CO.

This will allow the team to have a chain of command but more functional.



At this pace, I do not think i can hold out for Armed Assault come this early spring.
