Ok, but I see no problem doing that with 3 fireteams... what you did, you had 4 guys (2 FTs) suppressing and one advancing.
you got a point there...

you know i didn't intend to question your abilities ;)

Other than single player campaigns in various games, I don't have experience to speak from, but looking at it logically,

Wouldn't it be better to use a staggered column rather than a column? In another thread people were citing/complaining about the deviations of bearing/heading calls when members are further apart. With a staggered column, you can maintain intervals without the point man being too far from the rear guard. Also, in 2 man fireteams, the fireteams would be in a column, but the FT members would be in an echelon formation.

What would be good times for the other formations? Echelon right/left, V, and (I forgot its name, but where its a staggered formation of 2 3-unit echelons, one left one right. Arrowhead?).
