A flanking maneuver, aka "pinch" or flank attack, is an attack on the sides (or rear) of an enemy force. The ultimate goal being to surround the enemy from two or more directions, cutting off their supply lines and their most likely path of retreat.

I agree with you, but an intelligent multiplayer team must take it in consideration and they must prepare counter flanking maneuvers. If you take the enemy in two combats front you could destroy their forces. Though it is difficult.
Also when you attack you should choose the better way, in this sense to protect your flank is key. It is important to pay attention of the terrain, cities or to provide some reserve force. These things could save your army. |

Yea it is. But I prefer this method only open ground then it will be easy to flank, esp. with mechs. I already know how to flank back if I am flanked. It also depends on really luck because of the glitches and lags that you get. |
