Re: A Different Sort of Battle
So, they reduced their numbers at some point, and lost the blob advantage; this actually bolster my agruement about numbers being able to over run tactics.
As for individual fits, as I said I was just generalizing the case.
To analyze the actual first engagement though, I think the agressing force didn't assume the Tech/EA advantage would have an effect and pushed the first encounter off the teleport. The defensive retreat, while sound, was not really a tactical master-piece, however the aggressive force got strung out chasing and I believe you were able to apply damage to the leading edge because of your speed and range. If you acutally killed anyone it was bad tactics on their part for being too far forward. On the otherside though, I can see they were trying to tackle and kill, but again that was poor offense, not great defense.
Hindsight is 20/20 of course, but they had the numbers and if they had stayed in a group moving at 42 and forced you to come to them as they advanced to to a fixed target point, where your speed would have been negated.
