Quoted:



Herodotus says the Spartans at Thermopylae conducted feigned retreats in the face of the less superior Persian Immortals.

"The Lacedaemonians fought memorably, showing themselves skilled fighters amidst unskilled on many occasions, as when they would turn their backs and feign flight. The barbarians would see them fleeing and give chase with shouting and noise, but when the Lacedaemonians were overtaken, they would turn to face the barbarians and overthrow innumerable Persians. A few of the Spartans themselves were also slain. When the Persians could gain no inch of the pass, attacking by companies and in every other fashion, they withdrew." Her. 7.211.3

What about physical scalps?

Quoted:

As they advanced the front line would pick up their shield about 8 inches and slam them down on the pavement.  When they were advancing unopposed the sound made for a good psychological weapon.  When they advanced while in contact with rioters they would advance in the same way, but when they brought down their shields the goal was to scrape the bottom edge of the shield down the shin bone of the rioter in front of you before smashing their foot.

Which, I would imagine, would cause most rioters to go home and rethink their lives.

Use their tactics against them.

Honestly, I would avoid taking their weapons as trophys.  The GIF of you holding up a bike lock in triumph will say "Armed Trump Supporters", not "ANTIFA Disarmed."

Take the weapon and throw it away as soon as possible.  Storm sewer is a good choice.

Whats the objective?

To preserve the space around the speaker.  The spartans were often defeated because they neglected the peltasts.  If they couldn't close with the enemy, they would feign retreat to bring them to grips.

One thing nice about the Antifags, is they want to get close.

a feigned retreat is a secondary tactic when your primary fails.

I heart this thread.

But one wonders what this escalates to

Cool. Look for me.

Wait - I thought the objective was to expose and humiliate them?

Now I'm confused...

Dual use.  Dry powder ABC fire extinguishers have the double added benefit of a "smoke screen" effect, depending on wind conditions, and are an irritant to the eyes and respiratory system.

No matter how you cut it, no kind of shield will stop a Molotov attack.

Quoted:
A good shield should have a metal skin over a laminated wood and leather backing. Won't stop bullets but it would make an impression on those opposite. And would survive quite a beating.

Quoted:


It looks like they might have cops/vets in their ranks in leadership. So, you have to assume that they are not tactically illiterate. If anything that makes them over confident.

It'd  Be better to play into what they expect, drive into them and fuck them up with brute force. Drive into them, let them surround you, and then move in reinforcements to take em in the rear.

Use airhorns or something for formation calls, and battle plan implementation.

Wouldn't hurt to have observers above the fray to communicate with team leaders.

They think they have you in a pincer, oldest trick in the book, but you have them between a rock and a hard place.

I dunno though, that is more of knock down drag out fully committed kinda deal.

"Destroyer of Worlds" is the nickname awarded my HK91 at one of the many shooting events at my house
I found some left over trophies from a clay pigeon contest and taped some "award" labels on them to hand out
"Destroyer of Worlds" was for the gun everyone thought was the most fun/destructive to shoot

My war trophies (Grand kids) range from 2 months to 5 years old
They are my most prized possession and you are unworthy of a picture

Enjoy your little fantasy war against a bunch of unemployed faggots. I am sure it will be very rewarding

To whom?  The MSM? They are actively participating in the propaganda about "armed Trump supporters vs. unarmed protesters."  Youtube is great and all, but the 6:00 local news still reaches a LOT of people.  There's a hearts and minds component here too.  The media will *never* like us, but we can avoid giving them images to use.
Definitely agree with this.  Take down with extreme prejudice.  But *don't* display it.  Ideally one could have a job box or some other "weapon repository" where they are all placed after capture.  End of the day photograph them all, then turn over to Police as evidence (Everyone is wearing gloves, right?)  Publish photos/video.  If the police "lose" them, there's still something to go on.

My interest in the Peloponesian Wars and Greek tactics has finally found a use.

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.

That said. If they wish to parade in celebration of their communist holiday, they are free to do so.
