Q & A

What is the key requirement for completing the battle tactic involving objectives and terrain features?

The key requirement is that you must control three or more objectives or terrain features within enemy territory, with a combination of both being possible.

Why is the battle tactic of controlling objectives or terrain in enemy territory difficult?

It is difficult because the objectives and terrain features are located within enemy territory, and controlling them requires pushing deep into enemy lines while maintaining control over those areas.

How many objectives or terrain features must be controlled on each battle map, and what challenges does this pose?

The number varies: some maps require controlling three out of four objectives, while others require controlling all the objectives. The challenge is maintaining control, especially if the objectives are spread across the map or in difficult-to-reach areas.

What does the speaker think about the difficulty of controlling objectives or terrain in enemy territory in some battle plans?
