This formation is a ancient tactic used by the Greek and Roman Armies. This formation is very aggressive and risky, but if used correctly, it can destroy you opposition. This formation requires your team to maintain the wedge like pattern, if you lose this pattern you will not be able to support your other teammates. The captain is represented in red and holds a reserve position if needed. The captain, in all formations, needs to be looking at what is going on and directing the rest of the squad into holes that might open up. The player on the left moves to the side that is at risk of being flanked, this player can move around without keeping the wedge formation. The far left player is mainly a distraction and keeps the opposing team's eye on him as he moves from left-right.

This is the most popular formations in the game and is widely used in competition. This formation has two players run up the sides to a good place for cover. The two players in the middle run up the middle and fill up holes that the side runners make. As you can see the captain maintains a reserve position and directs the team. Many times a stalemate is the outcome of the game if both competing teams use this formation.

This is a great alternative to a skirmish line formation. This tactic is great to use when you expect your opponent to be using a skirmish line formation. String right enables your team to cut down one side by the sure fire power you have available. You can gain control of the side you put your numbers on. The captain and the far left player prevents the opponent to move along your flank. This formation works good if the other team has players in separated positions.

The iron sides formation makes your sides very strong, but it leaves the center up for exploiting. This formation works well against driving wedge formations and any other formation that concentrates their forces to the center. This formation allows the opponent to get into the middle were both sides can fire on the same target, thus providing a prime spot for elimination. This is a pretty neutral formation, but make sure there are plenty of bunkers for you side man to take cover behind; remember not to have two people behind the same bunker. If there the terrain does not provide adequate cover, then use a different formation.

False Retreat formation is a two part move that initially requires the runners on the right to take a spot on right or left side of the field and hold it for 15 seconds. The players by the flag will stay near it for the first 15 seconds of the game and provide cover fire for the runners. Then after 15 seconds, the runners will appear as if they are retreating and begin falling back. As the runners retreat, the players by the flag run forward and take a position one at a time, so that the players by the flag can support each other as the other players move into their new positions. After the players by the flag reach their new spots, the side runners lay down a charge to take a position on the side. With any luck the opposing team will think that you were falling back and try to fill the hole, not expecting the players by the flag to advance ground. This will provide a good trap for the types of teams that like to push forward allot. This is a very complicated maneuver and should be practiced with a backup formation, just if the other team didn't fall for the trap.
