"How will the US fight the next war? Today, the Army's top general declared that the military means "to shift from battles of attrition to battles of cognition, where we think, direct, and act at speeds the enemy cannot match in order to achieve a perfect harmony of intense violence." The goal is to combine US forces on land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace in a seamless multi-domain operation, assailing the enemy from all sides at once until they're overwhelmed. The Army Chief of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, is famous for his blunt and powerful rhetoric, which sometimes achieves a kind of brutal poetry. At the Association of the US Army conference two years ago, Milley declared that the spread of long-range sensors and precision weapons means that, "on the future battlefield, if you stay in one place longer than two or three hours, you will be dead."

I like pipe dreams as much as the next guy, but I'm also a realist (usually). |

There is actually already a game that assumes that model of operations. It's called Infinity. 28mm (well, 32mm now) scifi, with ground drones all the way down to the squads, reinforced with 1-man Infantry Fighting Vehicles that are about 2x man-height. infinitythegame.com Rules (and everything else necessary for playing) are free to download, you need to buy the books to get the story/fluff. link |
