It seems to me, after reading many of the posts following the few playtests of the mod this last weekend, that people need to begin thinking about and implementing a rarely used tactic.

The Tactical Retreat.

Given that the spawn time for infantry and vehicles has been increased it no longer pays to just throw bodies and metal at the opposition wastefully.

It seems to me that people should ask themselves, "If this were real life, if my life was on the line would I behave in this way?" Would I drive a badly damaged vehicle straight into an enemy base? Would I, while being a wounded soldier, charge an enemy squad?

Probably not. Again, this is especially true given the nature of Duke's mod.

It is time to think about taking cover when you take a hit. It is time to think about moving your precious armor out of combat and get repaired when you are damaged.
It is time to think about ordering a retreat when your squad is taking a beating.
Pull back, regroup and mount an 'EFFECTIVE' counter offensive, don’t just sit there and get slaughtered.
If you are familiar with the term "Combat Ineffective" you will know that a squad of 6 with 3 men down is just that. It may take some situational awareness to know whether you are going to be overwhelmed or not.

Also, by using the retreat tactic, and especially now that the Commander is less omnipresent with his magic radar taken away, it becomes a very important and powerful tactic to coordinate an ambush to cover the retreating party.
This should be reasonably easy to do for a commander who is using his squads in mutual support.

I have a very little bit (2 years) of infantry training, so it would be really helpful to have some of the vets add their input here on the best ways to conduct a retreat and setup a cover, flanking, or ambush element.

my thoughts.
