but the opposing team could have less units due to the fact he brought expensive ones, you should learn the trap first and it's foreplay for it to work, so instead of counting the units, because if you do and count less than 20 you shall be to focused on your flanks rather than the battle itself, so... Understand the movement of a attempting ambush, like this ambush video for example, as you saw his units tilted and altered the battle lines, try and look out for things like that, and try and keep your armies clear from forests, if not possible then you must play therefore very aware and alert.

@neurofiedyamato8763

can still apply to real life, just that mirco is not really existent. But ambushing a small force from the enemy to expose their flanks is still plenty viable. And Micro still is somewhat transferable to the resources a general/commander may send to that flank.-though to a lesser degree than a game.
@bentomoswall

A general can only be placed in one area of the battlefield, and only well trained soldiers will know what to do without orders. Micro effectively becomes the amount of orders a commander can effectively issue.

"Micro" could be consider a stand-in for priority or focus in the real world. If you can shift the enemy to prioritize what isn't essential, you can slip past him what's really important. And time and focus (at the top decision-maker level) are just as finite a resource as men and firepower. Still, an earlier commentator is correct: micro is just a secondary benefit. The joys of a good flank is the real meat of the action!

This would never work against a serious, experienced opponent. First thing I would think, whenever the enemy confronts me with a shifted line: huh, he's offering his right flank to me? Then I would start attacking his right line while keeping my main line in the original orientation. Then he has not other option to release his ambush force or he would have to fall back to re-order his line.
@autolykos9822
8 жыл бұрын
+AudieHolland My thoughts exactly. Not only would I probably expect that something is up once my opponent does something weird like tilting his battle line, using a forest as a fulcrum. The obvious reaction, even without a suspected trap, would always be to hit the flank that had to run the furthest and fastest, and is closest to my troops and furthest from his reserves. Once that flank starts to break, I can roll him up from there. The only thing that could deter me was if my opponent had more cavalry on that flank (or in reserve) than my entire army, plus some infantry with solid staying power. But that stuff gets expensive, so he can't have much left for the actual ambush, and something that would pass as a plausible battle line at second glance. The reason it still works is probably that a lot of people are somewhat inflexible in their planning, and expected two parallel battle lines crashing into each other. If that doesn't seem to happen, they try to make the situation fit what they had originally planned, no matter what.

It’s kind of a gamble, it all depends on the opponent reaction. If the opponent decides to concentrate his forces to his left without tilting he would crush your forces and if you call your hidden cavalry and archers to help he would outflank you, but most of the time they would react just like your opponent did. Great tactics.

Bad tactic; someone tried to use it on me once. I Had no idea there was an ambush (hadn't heard of this tactic before). But I took my right flank and pinned their main line down while I bore the full strength of my left flank into their exposed right flank; instead of wheeling to face them straight on. This caused a chain reaction of routing and despite springing their trap, by that time they were already on a slippery slope to defeat. This really does rely heavily on enemy incompetence for them to just ignore a glaringly exposed enemy right flank.

When i play games that permits the set up of ambushes i always set out very tiny highly moble units to set off the ambushes. Yes my scout units get wiped out to a man but i keep from getting larger units wiped out or heavily damaged. I really love it when i set off a trap that is strong losing a tiny unit and then pouncing with the unit that they tried to ambush in the first place. I normally turn the tables doing heavily damage to the ambushing unit with light damage to my own units. A lot of times that one engagement wins me the battle as i end up with overwhelming forces left on the field.
