So in any case, anyone being the pointman in this case would have fared the same. Since there isn't a specific pointman role with better camo or a ghillie suit, the result is the same, you get spotted, you get shot at.No, because even in Arma, if the whole team moves in, say, a wedge formation, there are more units candidate to be spotted than when only one is moving towards the enemy ahead of the team. The enemy is not always directly at the front of the point of the wedge, so other units than the leader might be detected when moving forward as a whole team. Plus, even when the point-man is detected, the rest of the team isn't, and that' an advantage you don't get when the leader just moves forward with the whole team. I actually do that myself sometimes, as the leader. Order the team to stay back while I move forward, sometimes with a marksman, to scout the enemy positions ahead before moving the whole team forward.
The fewer men, the greater share of honor
