FUNKED1

Nice link, it sure has a lot of articles there. About breaking contact, I read in We Were Soldiers Once...and Young, that the army was to use a mortar attack, smoke and a bunch of other things to cover a retreat, but most of the time, there won't be those things. The one I would always use is smoke. Smoke is very good for covering retreats and marking enemies, and should be used more, in my opinion.

I'm guilty of rarely using smoke, but my most frequent use of it is when I'm unexpectedly alone in between waves of attack and near a bunker. I'll hunker down and wait until I think a)reinforcements are coming or b)I can cause confusion. Then, I lob every smoke grenade I've got, either to mask my approaching friends, or as a red herring, or to allow me to relocate.

But the volume of smoke in JO seems.... weak, unless you are in cramped quarters(Kutu and Basrah are good example) and I can layer 2 or 3 together.

When it works, it's a wonderful feeling, but when it doesn't, my gun might as well be a wet noodle.
