An Analysis of a Massed Versus a Dispersed Attacking Ground Force in Close Combat
Abstract
A computer simulation of combat is used to compare outcomes of a red tank attack on a blue defense for variations in mass (density) and firepower. Results suggest the defender's need for improvements in fire power to counterbalance the attacker's advantage gained by massing his forces.
