Ukraine war footage shows on especially infantry level only SS Storm Trooper tactics. These are light infantry units with little structure based only on ranks instead of weapons in use.
Therefore, their battle planning can be easily done with some sticks and lines drawn into the sand or earth shortly before the attack and even the higher comand uses squares to indicate parameters that have very different diamater and straight lenghts.
Provos use since the 90ies for all missions Hexagon field systems that give way more precise lengths no matter how the parameter is crossed and while rank does not matter the weapons systems do matter.
Below is a Ukrainian like small battle ground assuming it is a small forest with no important other obstacles like houses or trenches. The lower group is German SS like troop using their battle map and from the top down the Provos system.
The numbers indicate the different weapons used. 1 is a small portable mortar and the blue circle the max range. Both 2 are gunners with M60 machine guns or possibly snipers and the inner blue circle is their maximum range based on weapon range and visibilty of terrain. The two 3s are M16 like rifle men teams and the green lines are their path into the battlefield with stop positions. On those they will give recon feedback. If it was a night attack under radio silance with defind short broadcast feedback such as contact in which of the chessboard like indicated parameters or if they move to their next waypoint.
Obviously, the Provos way needs way more planning, comunication and coordination in action and therefore more social skills like teamwork, trust and honest understanding of each units abilities than SS Storm Troppers using fast forward tactics.
Like I was just playing Basketball with GIs, like I just created Shahdowrun and MechWarrior campaignes for my own fun and obviously never asked for any pay on any copy right material. Right?
