"Hi this is Robert Stewart with Hill13. Now the next thing we're going to do is we're going to do is we're going to set up a ghost or stealth flanking position. And as you remember from the board, that is an outbound player running on the side of the take, trying to stay on parallel with the point man, so that he can pull a flank. And come in and not fire until he's got the target in his sites. At that point the rest of my squad is going to rush that bunker, this guy won't know what hit him. Alright squad, hunker down, move out. You'll notice that Bob is running for the far side of the field. Ideally he would be in heavy camouflage so that he would be hard to see. He's going to stay on line with the rest of his team, but he's not going to reveal his position until they're ambushed and he has a good target. Ambush, spread out squad. Move out, move out, move out. That gives you a great flank. When the player, when the opposing team turns to fire on the sniper or the flanker, then the rest of the team can rush that bunker. Cease fire. That's how you do it."
