When attacking a special objective or recovering a special objective, it's worth noting you'll need to plan differently.

For example, if you're disabling a foe to capture him, you won't be using some planet-destroying super-weapon - but many of the considerations you'll need to take are far more subtle.

For one, if you are capturing an enemy, can he call for support and make your day miserable? Ideally, you should plan for these little contingencies.

Think about the area you have to attack - the attack ranges, the angles your enemy can approach you from - the speed and mobility which will be involved and which weapons will work the most effectively.
