Never been in the infantry,have you?
Or in a battle,AFATG. Generally speaking,planning goes all to hell right after the first shot is fired.
@sneakypete Plans always go to hell upon execution, regardless of the field. If you expect plans to work you don't understand what plans are for.
And no, I am not military. 4F'd.
But I have fought for my life, I have been against unassailable odds. I have fought with weapons (gang style), though not with guns to speak of. Certainly I am not a soldier, but I have seen enough otherwise to have an informed opinion.
And as hunter, as a rule, the front is where the teeth and horns are, and the flank is always tender, and hard to guard.
Risk abatement (planning) dictates that 'head on', while a viable option, is probably nearly always the last option.
