Constant pressure as a strategy

Unlike massive offensives, a Battle Squad operates by accumulating local advantages.

  • short but repeated commitments
  • ongoing harassment
  • permanent occupation of the land.

The enemy is deprived of respite, which weakens its ability to react.

A unity common to both sides

Both the Autobots and the Decepticons employ Battle Squads, but with different philosophies.

  • The Autobots prioritize the defense and protection of civilians.
  • The Decepticons use them to quickly crush any resistance.
  • In both cases, efficiency takes precedence over glory.

An underestimated threat

A well-trained Battle Squad can:

  • to delay an entire army,
  • to force a change in the opponent's strategy,
  • to transform a neutral zone into a death trap.

They exploit weaknesses rather than direct confrontation.

The invisible pillar of great battles

Without Battle Squads, the great figures of war could neither advance nor hold their conquests.

  • They secure the gains.
  • They absorb the counter-attacks,
  • They stabilize the front.

They are the link between strategy and the realities on the ground.

Holding the ground is already a victory.
