Laibach defensive tactic

The Laibach defensive tactic was an anti-ground-vehicle tactic created by Major Ivo Laibach.

Basic idea
On the smallest operational level of deployment would a lieutenant command an assault platoon or a line platoon equipped with repeater and a medium artillery section which used a AV-7 Towed Anti-Tank Cannon. The line/assault platoon would protect both the personnel and the cannon of the artillery section in a square formation. With the Artillery section typically located in the center or behind. The gun crew would fire on enemy combat vehicles trying to move through allied territory.

Typical order of battle
Several gun guard groups would make up a defense in depth.
 * Gun operation group
 * Platoon command team
 * Assault platoon
 * Heavy weapons squad
 * Heavy weapons squad
 * Line squad
 * Line squad
 * Artillery section
 * Engineering squad

Origin
Major Ivo Laibach commanded the 71st COMPNOR Line Battalion which fought during the battle of Halmad. Rebel Alliance forces brock through imperial lines and send the 32nd COMPNOR (Line) regiment on a disorganized retreat across the Montis highway.

Major Ivo Laibach ordered the 1st assault company of the 71st COMPNOR Line Battalion to entrench them self along the highway. The battalion's artillery line and engineer platoon was spilt up into eight squads. These units was attached to the two line platoons and the two assault platoon. The engineer squads build obstacles, defenses and dugouts.

The four infantry platoons, engineer squads and artillery crews held up enemy forces long enough that MajorLaibach could organize a prober counter-attack.
