DEADLY MANEUVERS is one of the best A-Team episodes of the second season. It has a thorough and imaginative storyline which is different to the usual villain-of-the-week material. Ed Lauter leads a crack team who might as well be called the 'anti A-Team' to take down our heroes while they're engaged in some training. The supporting cast is strong and the story suspenseful as it feels like the bad guys have gained the upper hand for once. A lot of the material rests on George Peppard's shoulders as he has to figure out a way to fight back against the odds. It's a lot of fun.

One of my favourite episodes

Deadly Maneuvres is one of my favourite A-Team episodes. It's an interesting idea of putting mercenaries for hire against the A-team, and they have a similar skill set. And the mercenaries headed by Ed Lauter managed to earn some of their money - they are hired by disgruntled members who want A-Team to be eliminated - and they manage to capture the face (through a female in a red car), Murdoch ( through a dog) and BA Bacarus (milk) but Hannibal is reallly upset that team are captured. It's here you feel Hannibal's determination to get his team back -there's plenty of action.

A group of Mr Bigs have a meeting. They all have had enough of The A Team, some of them got family behind bars courtesy of Hannibal.
Major Douglas Kyle (Ed Lauter) has been called in to put the end of the A Team. He has put his own crack team together, some with fascists tendencies.
The key weakness that the A Team has is milk. BA cannot get enough of it.
Even being on the run, with Colonel Decker after them. The A Team get milk delivered from the dairy. They do not even stop to ask what happened to the regular milkman.
With BA suffering from milk poisoning. Face and Murdock taken by the baddies. Hannibal finds himself alone and ill as well as he also drank milk.
Amazingly entertaining hokum. Hannibal has to work alone. This one is no milk run.
