Card 51

Controller: smokes to go in or for the post-plant?

In one line: Smokes are first and foremost for getting in: a failed entry has no post-plant. Use the ones you need to take the site and keep the last one for the retake only if the entry does not need it.

The situation

Attack, start of the execute. You are the controller. The site has three defensive positions to cover and you have your smokes. The team asks you to keep one for later.

The rest of this chapter is Premium

You read the preview. The full text, every "if, then" card and the cheat sheet come with Premium. Your progress stays saved either way.
