In response to a question someone posted on the Doctor Who Forum which was in relation to the fact that the Daleks used something called 'Attack Formation 7' to blow up a house, ballistichimp and I have teamed up, me with my inane giggling and provision of daft comments and he with his hi-tech CAD package to bring you:-

Dalek Attack Formations For Dummies





In which Dalek 1 'takes one for the team'.



In which Dalek 2, who is clearly far more important than the others (this can often be distinguished by a small badge that says 'Prefect') supervises from the rear.



In which the Daleks approach in such a way as to hide their numbers.



In which Daleks 1 and 2 move in such a way as to shield 3 from harm. Dalek Tip! Beware of tripping!



In which Daleks move elaborately and intricately in order to confuse their foes. Dalek tip! Your buddy is NOT a target! Oops! Footnote - there is no such thing as 'Dalek Friendly Fire'.



In which Daleks approach in a staggered formation, providing Daleks 2 and 3 with an easy to understand early warning system. It goes something like this.

Dalek 1: "AAAAAAAAAARGH!"
Daleks 2 & 3: "The Doctor! Exterminate!"



In which the Daleks stand in a line and shoot stuff.
