Recon Pull: This technique involves
spreading your reconnaissance over a wide area, probing many potential routes
before committing to any of them. Not
until the enemy strengths and weaknesses along those routes have been
identified will you have the information needed to make your plan. Basically the reconnaissance dictates the
axis of attack (AOA), which should go down the easier, less defended
route.
This
type of reconnaissance is slower and more methodical but can pay huge dividends
if done correctly.
You should have a
clear view of the enemy force composition and deployment before your final plan
is made (see Decision Process). Also a
lot of patience is required to effectively pull this off, and the ability to
discern or guess enemy intentions from a few scattered contacts is required.
The German term Auftragstaktik is similar to
Recon Pull as it also encourages players to exhibit initiative, flexibility and
improvisation while in command.
