SoakerNet Tactics - On Leaders and Leading

Tips by Pyro (Edited by iSoaker.com | Posted on 20020102)
How to choose a leader:
This one is a no-brainer, but I'll mention it, anyway. The simplest way to choose a leader is a good, old-fashioned vote. This is because the leader must be trusted by the majority of the team so his orders can be carried out without question. His men should trust him enough that they do not think anything is a suicide mission, no matter how crazy it may sound. (That's a tip to all you squad leaders out there!)

How to train a leader:
The best way to train a leader is to work on the phrase: "practice makes perfect". When a new leader is chosen, hold skirmishes, training sessions, and get the team familiar with the way the new leader likes to wage war. Get familiar with the terms he'll use and know him inside and out. The leader should also know his men the same way. And remember, "grunts" are not pawns.

Pre-Battle decisions:
Stuff like "who does what and where?", the handing out of battle assignments, the forming of a preliminary battle-plan, and the dividing of fire teams. (If applicable to your squad.)

During-Battle decisions:
Just go with the flow. Make new plans if necessary, hand out new assignments, and SPARE NOBODY THEIR DRYNESS!

After-Battle decisions:
Re-evaluate the team and promote/demote members (if a rank system applies to your team). Repair, rest, and re-arm for the next round!

P.S. Follow those words of wisdom (RX3) and you will win.
