[AAR] A way to use civilians
Posted: 2011-10-09 15:42
Yesterday I played on NwA Insurgency, Ramiel, as an Insurgent. I first joined a Voip Inf squad, that was too silent for its name, so I changed...
First squad's name: Civi Power. It has only civilians in it...
Ok, lets join.
First we marched to the western bridge, and "demonstrated there. Dumb APCs wiped us entirely out...but we died as martyrs!
Then we went to the eastern road to Ramiel, and looked around there. We found an FOB there.
Our SL decided to destroy the FOB (only civies in the squad!). So we got out our stones, and started to assault the FOB with "short, controlled bursts
". Two yankees were guarding it, and when they saw us, they started to chase us with restrainers in hand. It turned out to be a tagging game, and great fun. Under constant rock rain, they nearly arrested us, but then an Insurgent with an AK got near, and shot down the US soldiers, who were busy chasing us. Then we picked up their kits, and threw incendiaries at the FOB and supply boxes. So at the end, a mass of Ramiel citizens neutralized an US FOB... It had serious propaganda effect, when shared on general chat...
We used the more common "meatshield" tactic with our fellow soldiers, and died several times as martyrs. But we made a trap for infidels, too. We, civilians stood up on the compound roofs around I7, and waited. In 2-3 minutes some infidels showed up, and they saw the civilans on the roofs, and a couple lurking outside the compound wall. They started running after the civies with their restrainers in hand. The collaborators ran inside the compound, chased by the US guys. But inside the yankees were busy trying to arrest civies, they didn't noticed the AK wielding guy inside (who communicated with us via Mumble), who shot them both...
I think this is a troll tactic but somewhat efficient. I believe that mainly because of the civilian squad's activity, the US got info about the first cache only 30 minutes into the round.
Any opinions of this "tactic", usage of civilians, collaborator squads, "demonstrations", rock rain, and of course propaganda-like trolling of general chat?
