	Sensei's Library: Pincer
		There are three common sources of pincers: the 3-4 point, the 4-4 point, the 3-5 point when the approach is at 4-3.
		A three-space pincer at a would allow White to extend to b, which is a cramped short extension.
		Adamzero: When I pincer my rationale is this: a) by squirming, my opponent will hopefully let me solidify my corner territory in sente b) prevent my opponent from settling, and by chasing him out in the center build territory and/or influence/thickness.

	Pincer movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pincer movement (double envelopment) is a basic element of military strategy which has been used, to some extent, in nearly every war.
		The maneuver is mostly self-explanatory; the flanks of the opponent are attacked simultaneously in a pinching motion after the opponent has advanced towards the center of an army which is responding by moving its outside forces to the enemy's flanks, in order to surround it.
		At the same time, a second layer of pincers attacks on the more extreme flanks, so as to prevent any attempts to reinforce the target unit.

		The purpose of a pincer attack is to deprive your enemy's stones of such an extension.
		A pincer attack, therefore, is an attempt to increase the cost of survival for your opponent, as well as to limit its territorial potential along the edge.
		Of the available pincer attacks, a and b are somewhat calm, whereas something like d or e are quite severe, and immediately start a serious fight, and c is perhaps somewhere in the middle.

	Finnish tactics in the Winter War
		As classic tactical examples to which was referred to, were "the battle of Joutselkä" (in 1555, where a small Finnish force, mainly peasants, attacked a strong Russian army beating it with a pincer attack on it’s flanks) and from foreign battles "Cannae" and "Tannenburg".
		The flanking attack differs from the enveloping attack only in the respect that, regardless of the actions along the front, it was projected directly at the the flank of the enemy.
		If an attack was to be conducted in the same day, 5 km (depending of course also from the terrain) was the practical limit for a flanking maneuver.

	Crossfire Techniques (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The basic idea of a pincer is that your two forces move to arrive at separated attack points simultaneously.
		A more common version of the pincer is the "hammer and anvil" attack that often occurs when you are defending a base.
		Once they have committed to an attack on the base, sweep in your mobile force to attack them from the rear - hammering them against the anvil of your base defenses.

	D&D Miniatures: The Art of Warbands -- Pincer Maneuver
		Pincer Maneuver consists of the three basic elements of an armor battalion -- the Chuuls as tanks, the Drider Sorcerer and Drow Wizard as artillery, and the Orc Warriors, Warrior Skeleton, and Troglodyte as infantry.
		Against weak ranged attacks, hold back initially so that the Drider and Wizard have a chance to both buff your tanks and take their place as artillery.
		Strengths:Pincer Maneuver is strongest against warbands that use creatures with low to moderate attack bonuses, ACs of 20 or less, or that rely on poison, conceal, and/or low AC/high HP creatures vulnerable to Paralyze.

		sends some flanks around the sides for a brutal pincer attack, showing that they indeed do know how to make good use of all those players.
		Mdd's massive jug of melee still has dorf protection, and an interesting scenario breaks out as their jug attacks one of the bigger melee flanks (but still far smaller than Mdd's force which is still at max) who is now behind them.
		It looks like a dorf playground as BOTH forces have dwarves behind them, although Mdd looks far worse as the smaller melee force they are crushing is holdind them in between two of the ridges on hill where e.i's dwarves are closing fast for a quick end to this game.

		I can see justification to knock out the hearthstone usage from the realm side, but it is not something they would want to be known publically as it would invite attack, pincer movement if possible with the fleet sea and alert troops in the port.
