Battle tactics

In between, he gave me a quick overview of the disposition of forces he’d seen. Thirty five hundred troops in each different dimension, small arms mostly, with no obvious tanks or other heavy weapons. They had transport vehicles, but not nearly enough, which suggested that they were planning to commandeer vehicles from this side.

The locations their forces were gathered around corresponded with three major portals that Ruth had mapped. One was around the Docks, one was between the PRT headquarters and Arcadia, and a third was east of our current location on the outskirts of town.

By the time Gabe was done, my mind was whirling with plans and possible strategies. There were things that could be done, although it would be best if we weren’t noticed doing them. The portals would be bottlenecks, even given their size, but if they could get a foothold, it might be impossible to make effective use of them.
