Depends on the situation. In LIC's you absolutely have to hound the
guerillas until they drop. Otherwise they simply melt into the terrain and
come back just as strong. In this HIC world, though, I would think taking
terrain would be much more important.

In response to chad Taylor: This obviously doesn't mean chasing them Rambo
style through the woods. But pursuit is absolutely necessary to exploit the
size advantage of a regular force versus guerillas. Otherwise, they just
never fight until they find a small group they can pick off. The best
tactic is massive suppression and then assaul . . . Hey! isn't that what
E40K is using?

Just for the record, I haven't done this with real bullets, but in every
exercise I've ever been in, pursuit is the difference between success for
the regular forces or ignominious defeat.
