G'day Allan,

Are we sure we ever know what he's talking about....
....Tom..... now be friendly Tom... it was a joke... Tom put that phone 
down it took months to get the marks off the wall from the last Narn bat

Squad visit!!! ;P

 >How are you at countering pincers?

At present I'd say I'd have the theory in place (after watching others
do 
it and thinking about ways around their tactics), but I've had very
little 
practice.

Yep, this is easier if they take their time setting the pincer up (so
you 
can preempt it) or if you can hold them off for longer so they mis-step 
themselves and end up less as a pincer and more of a mess.... another
good 
option is getting them to fly half the pincer into an orbiting moon...
now 
that hurts!!!!

All too true!

Have fun
