	Creeping barrage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The rolling barrage was rendered obsolete by technology — the miniaturization of radios to the point where they could be carried by infantry enabled troops to request artillery support — and the changing nature of warfare from static trench warfare to mobile armoured operations.
		Rolling barrage is a military tactic in which massed artillery support an infantry advance by firing continuously at positions just in front of the advancing troops.
		The rolling barrage required careful planning and co-ordination.

	28 (Maori) Battalion Association
		The assaulting infantry moved towards the opening line of the barrage, which was due to start rolling at twenty-three minutes past ten; fifteen minutes later the mopping-up parties followed into the mixture of moonlight, dust and smoke.
		In actual fact, after batteries detailed to smother known enemy positions were deducted, the actual barrage, the moving wall of fire, the steam-roller of destruction was more of a direction and pace indicator than a barrage.
		After an unsuccessful attempt by the CO to obtain more satisfactory artillery cover the company commanders were given their orders and went back to their men, who by this time were en route to the designated rendezvous near Tell el Eisa railway station, where the whole battalion had assembled by the afternoon.

	Artillery RE:Are rolling barages used now days? StrategyPage.com
		Rolling barrages are better referred to as creeping; the arty like to push them forward and then bring them back to sweep the same ground several times and let the infantry catch up.
		The only creeping barrage I worked under was from mortars and that was to lay a mix of HE and smoke.
		We also used to use our medium machine guns with a different colored tracer for each company to indicate our lines of advance to specific enemy positions when they would switch to the next position or "tactical bound".

	ATTRACTIONS IN SOUTHERN WALES
		The Brecon Beacons and adjoining Black Mountains to the east, encompass an area of some 520 square miles, within which you will find remote mountains, rolling moorlands, hidden waterfalls, cosy hamlets, sheltered valleys and ancient market towns.
		The Brecon Beacons are just 1 hour away from Cardiff, with some of the wildest and most beautiful countryside in Wales.
		A network of special bus services operates in high summer, criss-crossing the Brecon Beacons National Park area, and, in addition, there is a special "Bike Bus", departing from Cardiff and terminating in Brecon, returning in the late afternoon, giving a full day's cycling from several stops along the route.

		Although the First World War led to the development of air forces, tanks, and new tactics (like the Rolling barrage and Crossfire), much of the action took place in the trenches (trench warfare), where hundreds died for each metre of land gained.
		Before the spring offensive, a typical assault would involve a mass artillery barrage to soften up the enemy defences.
		The First World War also saw the use of chemical warfare and aerial bombardment, both of which had been outlawed under the 1907 Hague Convention.

	Notes on David O. Russell
		Disaster's reliance on comic convention is both its weakness and its strength, leading Russell to the edge of genre cliche but imparting a narrative momentum that caps the film with a barrage of dazzling multilayered scenes, one of them (the parental sex sequence) after the credits start rolling*.
		11) After the relatively functional camera style of his first two films, Russell took an entirely new tack with Three Kings, destabilizing the story with a barrage of MTV-like visual effects: disorienting zooms, tilted camera, telephoto closeups, trashed film stock, pixilation, and slow motion.
		Russell transforms this conventional framework by pushing all the plot elements toward extremes instead of toward resolution: unhappiness, capped by incest, leads to poverty and attempted suicide, resolved only by Five Easy Pieces-style existential flight.

	And in this corner...
		Dan's special skill is Stardom, chosen because he's a notorious showoff, and his critical type is Striking, because his finisher is the Hisshou Burai Ken (a quick barrage of punches and kicks).
		For instance, there are plenty of taunts in the game, but no rolling ones, so I had to give Dan rolling holds instead.
		However, Dan's basic kicks and punches are pretty close to the ones he has in Street Fighter Alpha, and the Back Spin Combo is a pretty good substitute for Dan's Hisshou Burai Ken...

		Before the spring offensive, a typical assault would involve a mass artillery barrage to soften up the enemy defences.
		Many tanks were once again breaking down, and those that were actually operable were rendered useless due to tank commanders finding the terrain impossible to navigate.

	Frederick John Walker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One highly successful tactic employed by Walker was for three or more sloops in line to launch depth charges stern to saturate the area with depth charges in a manner similar to a rolling barrage by artillery that precedes an infantry attack.
		In 1998 a statue in honour of Captain Johnny Walker in typical pose was unveiled at the Pier Head in Liverpool by HRH the Duke of Edinburgh.
		Walker subsequently signalled the "general chase" to his group and in a most swift manner all three boats were hit ensuring they couldn't dive culminating in all three being dispatched.

		Tanks rarely fire while moving, although in at least one instance they were used to fire a rolling barrage at from 3,000 to 4,000 yards while advancing slowly.
		The Ist Royal Tank Regiment was composed of nineteen cruisers and fifteen light tanks; and the 4th Royal 'Tank Regiment was comprised of a troop of four Mark II Matilda (infantry) tanks.
		In a defensive situation the Mark IV is able to engage British troops from outside the range of the antitank guns, avoiding at the same time, by their mobility, the British artillery fire.

	THE POST:Revolver fires away at Rolling Stone
		It is hard to believe that just ten years ago, ••Rolling Stone magazine•• led the barrage of rock-oriented rags.
		Among its writers are connoisseurs of music like Anthony DeCurtis (••Rolling Stone••), Vic Garbarini (••Musician••) and Ann Powers (••The New York Times••).
		Fast-forward to the year 2000, however, and ••Rolling Stone•• has successfully crapified itself.

	LAST PHASE OF THE BATTLE (15-20 JULY)
		Division Artillery was ordered to support the attack by a 15-minute preparation and successive concentrations; a rolling barrage would then cover the first 1500 yards ahead of the main effort along the ridge road.
		The objective set for the 30th Division was the crossroads where the Periers-St-Lo highway intersected the north-south road that marked the axis of the division's attack along the ridge from Hauts-Vents.
		Whatever their difficulties had been, by the close of 17 July the 29th Division was on the threshold of victory; the enemy's failure to cash in on his opportunity to smash the isolated battalions of the 116th pointed to an early end of the fight for St-Lo.

		For the first time, their attack would be supported by seven tanks and a rolling barrage.
		The French army’s battles at Verdun would prove to have a horrible effect on the men of France.
		It is also recognized that the Canadians were brought into the situation in the hope that they could achieve the same level of success they had earned in previous actions against the Germans and in no small way save Haig’s reputation and career.

	Lookout Records - The Reputation
		Her former band, Sarge, exploded with a barrage of press coverage and fanatic fandom, not only dominating the indie press circuit but appearing everywhere from Rolling Stone (named "Hot Band" in 98's "Hot Issue") and Spin to Playboy and Interview.
		Sarge played fast power pop with scathingly honest vocals, and Elizabeth never pulled a punch or hesitated to speak her mind.
		I think with Sarge, I was usually trying to understand why people acted the way they did.

		Petersburg culminated in the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II and the appointment of a weak centrist Provisional Government, which shared power with the socialists of the Petrograd Soviet.
		Meanwhile, internal unrest grew in Russia, as the Tsar remained out of touch at the front, while Empress Alexandra's increasingly incompetent rule drew protests from all segments of Russian political life, resulting in the murder of Alexandra's favourite Rasputin by conservative noblemen at the end of 1916.

		The First World War was different from prior military conflicts: it was a meeting of 20th century technology with 19th century mentality and tactics.
		It is interesting to note that, when the British attacked on the first day of the battle of the Somme, and lost massive amounts of men to a continuous hail of machine-gun fire, they did succeed in gaining some ground.

	WORLD WAR I:
		The so-called "Hutier tactics" involved a relatively short (several hours) but intensive artillery preparation, heavy on gas and smoke, followed by a rolling barrage creeping ahead of the infantry at a predetermined rate.
		To broaden the penetration at the northern shoulder, he threw in 20 more divisions; but these were untrained in the Hutier tactics and failed to pierce a solid British defense.
		Yet in the belief that the French and British had become too imbued with trench warfare to the exclusion of the open maneuvers that eventually would be necessary to achieve victory, he insisted on additional training in offensive tactics, including detailed work in rifle marksmanship and use of the bayonet.

		The 117th Infantry was ordered to lead the attack on a two-battalion front, while the 119th Infantry followed closely in the assault regiment's zone, protecting the flanks of the division and mopping up any resistance bypassed by the 117th.
