In the interest of defence i am considering constructing fire support bases around Bosworth. These are a series of bases which are located 50 miles appart up and down the country which contain normally 4 artillery guns. The idea behind them is that no matter where an enemy is they will be within range of atleast 4 fire support bases.
Using modern technology the guns can be aimed via computers, meaning the bases won't require many men to run them: perhaps 5 soldiers per base. These bases would normally be backed up by a series of border and coastal defences.
This idea is effective, but it still requires quite a few men to operate the nation wide network and is contary to the tactics which were favoured in the other thread. So do you think we should change our tactics, just have fire support bases near important cities or contiue with the geurilla tactics?

I say we go half and half. A nationwide network is a nice idea but as you say it doesn't support the guerilla tactics favoured in the other thread. I say we put these bases near important military areas and large cities, and then use the remaining troops we would have previously used on the other firebases into guerilla operations.

Seems like a reasonably good idea to me, we can put it into practice when we get onto a map and know the shape and climate of our land.

Is this the same kind of thing the USA used in Vietnam?
