Right, let me throw together a few barebones plans just in case we do go for [ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL].
[] Swamp Rising:
Ambush at the edge of the swamp.
1. Seek and destroy any teams in our proposed ambush location. Fights should be waged with numerical superiority as much as possible.
2. Create dry hiding spots in the swamp with MEW and/or 5SB.
3. Teams form a triangle with a center; Team Neji in the forest, teams Sakura and Shikamaru in the Swamp, with team Goketsu out in the open as bait, feigning wounds.
4. Attacking teams should be allowed to approach Goketsu until two of the teams in the triangle are behind them. When that happens, the three teams attack.
5. Reset positions if possible. If other teams have spotted the charade, either ignore them or let them come closer if they dare.
6. If another Ring forms, fight straight through the Ring and any forces remaining in our way to the proctors.
[] Leaves On The Trees
Ambush in the forest.
1. Seek and destroy any teams in our proposed ambush location. Fights should be waged with numerical superiority when possible.
2. Teams spread out in a diamond formation on both sides of the river. Team Neji takes one, Team Goketsu takes the other, etc. Stealth is appreciated but not required.
3. When an approaching enemy mark is found, the team should reveal themselves but holding back on the initial volley; the goal is to grab their attention, not scare them away.
a) Unless the team thinks they can take them out in their initial volley (cough cough Team Neji)
4. The team should then retreat past the river, while the other three teams encircle the opposing team and support the retreating team.
5. Crush the opposing team, rinse and repeat.
6. If multiple teams happen upon the ambush site, break the formation and allow a running fight; always make sure that there's a two-to-one disparity in team strength, no matter how strong the individual team is; the goal is to win every fight convincingly.
7: Roll all opposition between us and the proctors once time is up.
[] Firing Range
Ambush on the plains.
1. Seek and destroy any teams in our proposed ambush location. Use explosives where possible; we want to create craters for us to hide in.
2. If there aren't enough craters to hide our teams, make some more.
3. People knowing Fire ninjutsu should light the grass behind us on fire, along with fires in other random spots. Avoid wildfires if at all possible.
4. Teams hide in the craters, waiting for potential ambushes.
5. Bait other teams to attack the group's general area.
6. Fight with numerical superiority once the other team has been baited.
Also, general note: Genjutsu rolls against Alertness, I'm pretty sure, and Sakura's is 26 + 3, I'm guessing.
