ok it starts ok like this
*=human
&=alien

                     ||&&&&&&&&||
                     \\********//
                      \---- ---/
                       \_/

the blank is a door

the humans retreat a little folding into a V shape


                     ||&&&&&&&&||
                     \\  ****  //
                      \----*---/
                       \_/

a few stay behind while a few "run away" through the halls
the men who stayed behind purposely get sorrounded to make the nme think they have the upper hand, but the guys who ran away come in behind the aliens sucessfully surrounding the surrounders
           
                          ***

THE END.....
             

the diangrams looked good before i posted it..... sorry u get the idea

What the deuce....?


Edit: Alright! Just what I needed for those times when I've got 8 marines standing toe to toe with 8 aliens.

Or...

You could just shoot them?

NO no no! Just follow the diagram and stop horsing around!

you need "X"s and "O"s with bunch of lines going everywhere

looks like square dance to me

o= marine
x= alien
|  x  x|
| xox  |      
| xx x |
\    /
 \  /
 | o|

marine one gets  surrounded and marine two uses a heavy machine gun to blow em all ta bits.

Oh no! What happened to the other 6 marines?

No , no , no , you have it all wrong. The qb takes the snap and rolls to his right. The dl's get caught in a trap blocking scheme. Qb tosses to RANDY MOSS who hears footsteps and forgets about the ball , thus incomplete. It's all in the diagrams.

well you could take the easy way out by doing this...
Well nade launchers would work too/// anyone else notice these pages load slow as hell?

Hmm, I think some people need a vocab lesson...

OK, anyone get the point?  ANY MARINE SHOULD KNOW WHAT TO DO IN TACTICAL SITUATIONS.  DUH.

Goofy and generally useless strategies like this tend to simply confuse and annoy troops, who then think of you as an incompitent moron (likely true) and vote you out in shame.  This isn't Shogun: Total War or Starcraft; complex, squad based tactics that can only be implemented in specialized situations just don't work that well, especially with complicated diagrams and general goofiness.

urr........ this is wack

Oh, and one other thing.  If I remember correctly, Hannibal got owned by the Romans, and Carthage was literaly leved to the ground.

You guys got it all wrong here is the correct diagram for how to deal with aliens:


Here is the key to the following tactical array:


8 :  Marine with nade launcher

= : Marine with HWG

D : Marine with HWG and HA

~ : Bullets

^ : Nades

(.)  : alien before attack

( 0 ) : alien after attack


STEP ONE:

8======D-~^~^~^~^~  (.)

STEP TWO:

8======D  ( 0 )


This manuver works extra good if you attack when I alien has his back towards you.

now that i didn't need to see
