America's Army/Bridge Crossing Tactics

General Topics

 * 1) Look out for 203 grenades at all times.
 * 2) Watch out for snipers and 203 on the assault ledges, on the truck and on top of the middle tower.

Bridge Crossing Tactics - Assault

 * 1) Use Suppressive Fire: Fire down the bridge to allow your teammates to advance. You may just hit an enemy if they aren't careful. You'll also slow them down, as they'll need to dodge your fire. Watch out for incoming 203's though.
 * 2) The main challenge for assault is to pass the center arch. This can be accomplished in several ways.
 * 3) Stand back and kill defense from a distance. Soon no defense will be left near the tower. Then move quickly to the defense tower to try and kill those in the defense hills and those hiding on the ridge to the right.
 * 4) Smoke the center arch heavily and then rush through. Normally moving to the right catwalk or defense tower asap.
 * 5) The second challenge of the assault team is passing the defense tower. There are also several ways to do this.
 * 6) Move up the trap door quickly, removing any defense in the tower that are left if the chosen tactic for the center arch involved a rush. The assaulter in the tower now can check the ridge to the right of the tower for any defenders.
 * 7) Move to the left cat walk, hiding behind the corner of the defense tower. Throw nades into the defense hills then move out to the left following the cliff or straight ahead if there appears to be no resistance.

Common Knowledge - Assault

 * 1) Right at start you should get away from the insertion zone ASAP. People like to shoot 203 nades on start location thus killing a few people who do not move in time. This is known as 203 SPAM.
 * 2) Watch out for snipers in the defence tower or on defence tower crates. Also watch for the nice "treehugger spot" by the tower.
 * 3) You also might have one more 203 than the defense, use it wisely.
 * 4) Lots of smoke is good,as long as it's on the defense side.
 * 5) OPFOR on the defense tower steps can be quite deadly.

Bridge Crossing Tactics - Defense

 * 1) Suppressive Fire: Fire down the bridge to hinder the progress of the assault team. You may just hit an enemy if they aren't careful. Watch out for incoming 203's though.
 * 2) The job of defense is to defend, therefore "using tactics" is condoned. However if the defensive team does not move at all the assault team will quickly learn their locations making for a slaughter.
 * 3) On small servers, defence rushing can catch the enemy unprepared leading to an easy victory, since defence spawns closer to the middle tower than assault. However make sure you have your teams support. Do not try this on large servers (20 slot) if you are new, or you'll get wiped out.

Common knowledge - Defense

 * 1) The sooner you can reach a good defensive point the better.
 * 2) Right at start you should get away from the insertion zone ASAP. People like to shoot 203 nades at the spawn location thus killing a few people who do not move in time. This is known as 203 SPAM.
 * 3) You could also consider NOT standing in the def/ass arches in the starting minutes of the game since both SAW and 203 will cut you to pieces.
