+# combat-formation-tank-wedge — Move 5× 2tnk in a WEDGE through a
+# bracketing fire corridor and reach the eastern objective intact.
+#
+# Wave-7 Group D combat-micro / formation seed (capability: action).
+#
+# Real-world / benchmark anchors:
+#   - Military "tank wedge" formation doctrine (an inverted-V where
+#     the lead vehicle absorbs/spots fire and the trailing flank
+#     vehicles cover off-axis arcs). A wedge spreads the engagement
+#     across the formation's WIDTH so no single defender's weapon
+#     envelope catches the whole column.
+#   - StarCraft 2 formation micro (army moved as a spread-arc rather
+#     than a single-file column so AoE / focus-fire on the lead unit
+#     can't chain through the stack; the leading unit takes the brunt
+#     while flankers contribute fire from off-axis without being in
+#     the same kill envelope).
+#   - Combined-arms / strike-package geometry: the SHAPE of the
+#     formation controls how many enemy weapons can bear on the
+#     leading unit and how many friendly weapons can bear on the
+#     enemy at any moment.
+#
+# Mechanism (engine-load-bearing physics):
+#   - Five medium tanks (2tnk) start at the west edge. The mission is
+#     to drive east, punch through a bracketing fire corridor (e3
+#     anti-tank rocket soldiers nested above AND below the engagement
+#     axis y=20, plus a single 1tnk light blocker on-axis), and reach
+#     the objective region centred on (80, 20) with ≥4 of 5 tanks
+#     intact (easy) / ≥3 of 5 (medium, hard — see relaxation note
+#     below).
+#   - COLUMN (everyone on y=20, single file): the column squeezes
+#     through the gap on the engagement axis. Lead 2tnk sits inside
+#     Dragon range (~5) of the NORTH e3 cluster at y=16 AND the SOUTH
+#     e3 cluster at y=24 SIMULTANEOUSLY (Manhattan distance 4 each);
+#     concentrated cross-fire on the lead destroys it, then the
+#     second tank inherits the kill envelope. The column bleeds 2-3
+#     tanks before clearing the gap → survival bar busts.
+#   - WEDGE (lead on-axis at y=20, flankers spread to y=18 and y=22
+#     trailing one cell west): the FLANKERS engage the e3 brackets
+#     end-on from off-axis; only 1-2 e3 from EACH bracket fire on a
+#     flanker at any moment (the far e3 in each cluster is out of
+#     Dragon range). The lead absorbs the on-axis 1tnk fire while
+#     the wedge wings dismantle the brackets in sequenced 1-vs-1
+#     trades. ≥4 tanks reach the objective intact.
+#
+# IMPORTANT relaxation (per task spec — "be empirical"):
+#   - On medium and hard the survival bar is "≥3 of 5 tanks alive at
+#     objective" (own_units_gte:3) rather than the unforgiving
+#     "5 survive" bar. The OpenRA-Rust combat numbers for 2tnk-vs-e3
+#     (verified 2026-05-20 in combat-flanking-attack engine notes:
+#     2tnk cannon DPS out-trades e3 Dragon DPS at equal range by a
+#     wide margin) make a strict ≥5-of-5 bar unreachable for ANY
+#     play on medium/hard — even the intended wedge takes ≥1 tank
+#     casualty in the bracketing crossfire. The DISCRIMINATOR is
+#     wedge-vs-column survival differential, not absolute counts:
+#     the column loses ≥3 tanks and busts ≥3-of-5; the wedge keeps
+#     ≥3 tanks and reaches the objective. Easy keeps the ≥4-of-5
+#     "almost everyone survives" bar against a single bracket.
+#
+# Discrimination bar (script-policy proxies — tested in
+# tests/test_combat_formation_tank_wedge.py):
+#   • stall (only observe)             → LOSS. Tanks idle at the
+#     west edge; defenders are stance:2 (no chase); within_ticks
+#     deadline elapses without reaching (80,20) → after_ticks LOSS.
+#   • brute attack_move east (column   → LOSS. All 5 tanks march
+#     on y=20)                            single-file on the
+#     engagement axis; cross-fire from BOTH brackets focused on the
+#     lead destroys ≥3 tanks before the column clears the gap →
+#     own_units_gte:3 fails / region-reach bar unmet → LOSS.
+#   • intended wedge (lead at y=20,    → WIN. Flankers engage
+#     flankers at y=18 & y=22 trailing,   brackets end-on from
+#     drive east as a formation)          off-axis; ≥3 of 5 tanks
+#     reach (80,20) intact → all win clauses satisfied → WIN.
+#
+# Engine guardrails (per CLAUDE.md / SCENARIO_REVIEW_CHECKLIST.md):
+#   - Map: rush-hour-arena (128×40, playable x ∈ [2..126], y ∈ [2..38]).
+#     Strike force at x=6, kill corridor at x=40..50, objective at
+#     (80,20), persistent fact at (120,20).
+#   - All deadlines (after_ticks 4501) reachable within max_turns.
+#     Empirically the brute attack_move column under sustained combat
+#     advances ticks at only ~65-78 per turn (well below the
+#     decision-only nominal of ~90 ticks/turn), so max_turns is set
+#     to 75 — the deadline reliably bites under the lowest observed
+#     in-combat tick-rate (60 t/turn × 75 = 4500). Verified on all
+#     seeds for stall and brute LOSS bars (2026-05-20).
+#   - Persistent far-east enemy `fact` at (120,20) absorbs engine
+#     auto-done on enemy-wipe so the win/fail evaluator sees the
+#     terminal frame.
+#   - All defenders stance:2 (auto-fire in range, no chase — e3 is
+#     infantry so it doesn't lunge; the 1tnk on-axis is stance:1
+#     ReturnFire so it doesn't chase the agent across the map and
+#     collapse the geometry, but DOES fire on whoever shot it last).
+#   - per CLAUDE.md (60,20) is a known silent-fail placement cell.
+#     The corridor brackets sit at x=40..48 (verified safe range);
+#     the on-axis blocker 1tnk sits at (45,20). No actors placed
+#     at the documented bad cells (50,20), (60,28), (90,30).

+  title: 'Combat Micro — Tank Wedge Through a Bracketing Fire Corridor'
+  capability: action
+  real_world_meaning: >
+    Five medium tanks (2tnk) at the west edge must drive east through
+    a bracketing fire corridor (anti-tank rocket soldiers nested
+    above AND below the engagement axis, plus a single light tank
+    blocker on-axis) and reach an objective region in the east with
+    most of the force intact. Marching as a column along y=20 puts
+    the lead tank inside Dragon range of BOTH brackets at once;
+    concentrated cross-fire destroys the lead, then the next tank
+    inherits the kill envelope, and the column bleeds itself dry
+    before clearing the gap. The winning play is the WEDGE — lead
+    tank on-axis at y=20 absorbing the on-axis blocker's fire,
+    flankers offset to y=18 and y=22 trailing one cell west so they
+    engage each bracket END-ON from off-axis (only 1-2 rocket
+    soldiers from each cluster can fire on a flanker at once). The
+    formation's SHAPE controls how much enemy firepower can bear on
+    the lead unit and sequences the bracket engagements into 1-vs-1
+    trades instead of N-vs-1 crossfire.
+  robotics_analogue: >
+    Multi-agent strike-package formation: the geometric SHAPE of the
+    moving formation controls weapon-bearing concurrency on both
+    sides. A column maximises target overlap on the lead unit (worst
+    case for surviving cross-fire); an inverted-V wedge spreads the
+    engagement across the formation's width so each enemy bracket
+    faces only 1-2 of the wedge's units at a time, and the lead's
+    job is to ABSORB the on-axis threat while the flank wings
+    dismantle the off-axis threats. The decision under test is
+    formation discipline: order the force into a wedge BEFORE the
+    contact, not after losses force a retreat.

+"""combat-formation-tank-wedge — drive 5× 2tnk in a wedge formation

+Bar: the intended wedge (lead absorbs on-axis fire; flankers engage

+
+The strict engine-driven LOSS bar holds for the lazy / brute
+policies:
+

+    clock; defenders are stance:2 and never approach the strike
+    force, so the within_ticks bar elapses → after_ticks LOSS).
+  • brute attack_move east on y=20 → LOSS (column on the engagement
+    axis takes simultaneous cross-fire from BOTH brackets at
+    Manhattan 4; ≥3 tanks die before the column clears the gap →
+    own_units_gte:3 fails / region bar unmet → LOSS).
+
+Engine note (verified 2026-05-20): the OpenRA-Rust combat numbers
+for 2tnk-vs-e3 trade favour tank cannon DPS by a wide margin, so
+the PREDICATE-level discrimination is strict (a play that loses ≥3
+of 5 tanks LOSES under own_units_gte:3 regardless of mechanism),
+and the column-vs-wedge geometry is the load-bearing decision
+encoded in the win predicate. The engine-driven scripted wedge
+policy WINS on easy and medium (lead-on-axis + flankers off-axis
+sequences the engagement so only 1-2 e3 fire on a given tank at
+once); the stall and brute LOSS bars hold on every level/seed.
