FlashNews Competition: Winning Position Revealed!
It's time to reveal the position that CAPT Gavin Kane of the Australian Army selected as the most at risk position in his opinion:
136,421: This position poses a threat of assault onto an already engaged unit. The tank to the south is directly concerned with the possible engagement to its own south, and as such would pose an easy target. An assault from this position would also likely target the thinner armour on the top rear of the tanks turret. Though a direct attack onto the top of the turret would likely graze off rather than actually detonate. Once the attack has been made, the withdrawal off the roof top could be made completely defilade to the target and any other supporting forces, and unlike a number of unit complexes in the north of the map, is slightly more open removing some of the risk of being cut-off by any quick reaction force. Depending on the religion of the soldier, the position also offers possible escape routes into the church or mosque to its north, through a distraction that already seems to be occurring there.
