Big trouble for Magnus

[Magnus]

So after the election it was necessary to bug out. Obama had seized control of the United States with the help of the U.N. He began with his 1 billionth executive order legalizing the securing of civilians for public safety. Magnus has bugged out to one of his locations in [REDACTED] where it is mostly hilly. While bugging out a small group of blue hats have trespassed on his newly claimed land under U.S adverse possession law of the new world. There are road blocks in place only set up to slow them down. There are 3 ambush points along the road. There is also the final option of getting the hell out of there. Magnus is at the RV with 5 ASSAULT RIFLE wielding adults and one small child. The blue hats are rolling on 3 jeeps, 4 men per jeep plus 2 escorts each(18 all together). Where do you attack? Where do you retreat? Where do you hide those unable to fight? How do you hit them? Can you hide in plain sight and avoid the whole thing?

Road blocks...RV...What is final episode of season 6 of the Walking Dead?

 

[Criticalt]

Head for the trees and kill 'em all!!!

 

[E the massive]

Rig the kid with C4 and remote detonate?

 

[dubleuhb]

Hope you're not relying on an RV for cover, nothing like hiding in a tin can.

Well I'm no tactician, but even for an ambush you're heavily outnumbered. You should have recruited more people before the shit hit the fan. .

But for the sake of the fun of it I'll take a stab at it. My first thought is how many of your supplies are at this location? Meaning, is this where the bulk of all of your supplies are, and giving up this place and leaving means your likelihood of survival gets very slim?

If you can afford to leave and get the hell out of there, then that would likely be the best scenario. If you cannot afford to leave then I would say leave the kid at the RV and the adults need to go to the Ambush site that most easily allows you to disable the front and rear vehicles simulaltaneously, while laying heavy fire across the Convoy. You have to catch them while everybody is in the vehicles and before they can get out into a defensive firing position.

Now I would love for somebody with actual training in tactics to weigh in on this to see how far off-base I am.

Punt?

Run to the hills, run for your life......

 

[Depick]

I'm with E the Massive bye kid

 

[GOYABEAN]

What you didn't get those Claymore in place

 

[Criticalt]

[carpediem]

You know it!!!!

My Mama told me not to hang with this Magnus Feller! He seems to always get into trouble!

Well, they have probably been trained on how to react to an ambush. Two options are the usual, first is to haul ass through it, and set up and assess. The second is what we used to do, turn toward the ambush and attack with everything you have.
Now that you know what they will do you can plan accordingly.

I think Magnus should realize the blockades may do nothing at all to slow them down if they have the hardware to go through and or around it. Might even be a dead giveaway to a possible ambush. I also think Magnus should learn to make silencing devices and learn to shoot from really really far away while simultaneously knowing that they will have things that can see you from really really far away.

Ok I'm in . . . If this is your main location you may be in a lot of trouble. You have to get the communication guys first, look for radio antennas and get them. If not, the drones will follow and you're toast even if you win the encounter. Hopefully you have set up choke points, funnels if you will, and have time to get in place. Get the ones in the front and back, so there is no retreat. Comm guys first, drivers next. If you are successful capture the vehicles, comm gear and any other necessary gear. Then cover their tracks and make plans to move out soonest. Take what you can, bury the rest to come back to. Move swiftly and decisively. The jeeps will come in handy, the RV is more of a burden, slow, hard to hide, not good for hilly terrain.

I'd call up those kids in Colorado and have them deliver an airstrike. Wolverines!

 

[pjzwtl]

Based on the info at hand (5 adults of unknown capabilities and a child) GTFO That child belongs to one or two of the adults and will give them a mental handicap..Unless of course you have IED's set up you didn't speak of

 

[Toecutter]

I'd put ambush barricade 3 after the trees trap them between the trees don't block the rear try and get them focused on running not fighting ,cause panic and pick them off . In the trees they dont know how many of you there are.You can fall back nhind the trees and keep returning fire or get to safety in the hills if need be.

Agree with above post, Blow up fuel tank in RV starting a fire that hopes to spread fire, Run, Hill top is a point blank area to capture you - NO go. Kill first round to capture radios and there change of clothing, Bury yours, head for water so no dog tracking.. Cover COMPLETE body in mud to deter FLIR heat at night. Oh forget it LOL, I could type all night.

Start typing, and were you trained in tactics or self taught?

Well, then wait til tomorrow, but id like to hear.

Magnus you gotta stay out of trouble man.

The Fins used this tactic very effectively again the Russians in the winter war. I believe they called it "stacking cordwood" or something like that.

Blue is supported by a drone at 20,000 feet with 4 hell fires and a FLIR, Magnus has but one option set fire to the cabin and ride the horses away.

Destroying the fist and last vehicle is a good tactic, it only works well if you have an overwhelming force to destroy all the occupants and if the middle vehicles have no way to get out of the kill zone. For that you would need deep ditches on both sides of the road and or the vehicles in very close following distances.

What you didn't get those Claymore in place View attachment 2760

Nuclear Claymores.

Agreed in this situation, I'd create the kill zone in the road with trees on both sides .disable the first vehicle ,use trees for concealment/cover ,hit them hard cause panic , make them deal with getting out of the kill zone, if trapped the have no choice but to fight for thier lives.

That is a good tactic and has been used quite effectively for a long time, but he only has rifles. The time it takes to disable two vehicles with rifle fire allows both the target vehicle to move and the follow up vehicles to move. Absent IEDs or some ability to apply sudden destructive force to the vehicles, you may not be able to use that type tactic. I think an "L" ambush on the line of vehicles would be effective if they don't just run you down. The "L" allows for fire down both sides of the line of vehicles without setting up a crossfire situation.
