What is the most common tactic used by tabletop wargamers, and does it actually reflect the reality of historical warfare? In this video, I explore the attempted outflank, arguably the most frequently used manoeuvre in miniature wargaming. Whether you're a historical wargamer, tabletop gamer, miniatures painter, or military history enthusiast, we'll look at why players instinctively try to overwhelm one wing, pin the enemy frontally, and sweep around the flank. We'll also compare these tabletop tactics with famous battles from history and ask whether wargamers are recreating genuine military principles or simply exploiting the nature of the gaming table. Join the discussion and share your own experiences from the battlefield.
