There's no point in screening the threat where there is nothing to be threatened, so in practice screening moves with the formation.

But in any case, it seems you just want to double down on that fine hnews tradition of utterly valueless semantic quibbling, which I will not participate in further.



> utterly valueless semantic quibbling

They're technical terms - entirely different tactical actions. You're confusing a screen with a guard or covering force.

If you asked someone to screen and really you mean cover or guard, you've fucked up.


> They're technical terms - entirely different tactical actions.

Right here! This is so close to what I was talking about. You might refer to the specific field the are technical terms in.

> You're confusing a screen with a guard or covering force.

Nah, likely a non-professional.
