Infiltrators, and snipers are a arty mans best friend, plus went through the Gary school of spotting. Scouting Armor/Cars I use in groups of to or three. One spots, then runs, No. 2 fire some and runs, No 3 ditto if needed. If I come up against armor and I beleive it alone. Like your PZ-IV on the hill the attack proceded as such . Infantry recon spotted a Pioneer Squad and a PZ-IV I know I had hit the Area with Arty the round before. The Infantry was in Reatreat or route stance so it was ignored for now. The Pz-IV was button, so I attacked form the side with the infantry squad to make sure and reduce its accuracy( Pz-IVs are very accurate, most under used tanks the Germans have IMHO ) the PZ-IV then returned fire and killed some of the squad ( I wanted to also find out how suppressed the German squads were if they started shooting the whole attack would have been call off), then I attaced from the other side with a Scout car ( The US scout car has a .50 cal and a .30 cal on it and can disable a Tank) I fired at the Pz-IV at a range of 1 (miss) the Pz-IV returned fire but with MGs only, I had a M8 Scott one move away I checked and it still has plenty of HEAT rounds ( early in the game ), moved foward one spot took my shot and Hit and Destroyed the Pz-IV with a Side/rear shot. Scotts are fast so I probably had two trys at it before I would have to run. From B-mans post I knew that arty was cause some damage in the wood so there has got to be more infatry close, So the whole CAT TEAM moved hoping to avoid arty( mine and his) Also know your opponent, I know that B-man likes to use a tactic of a whole lot of troops backed by AT guns and some Armor ( THE NET) as a Contact Force( unuslly support Armor ) so if you find support armor you are bound to have troop approx 3-4 Hexs ahead of the Tanks and and some on its flanks, this force is use to move to contact . There will also be a large fast Armored tank force ( THE HAMMER )somewhere with acces to a road as soon as contact has been established the other force comes crush you. I try to counter this with light recon armor to harras the Screening/contact force and locate the Large armored force. If I can isolate the two forces, I try to pinn and kill as much of the Fast Heavy Armor as possible and then assault. B-man I maybe wrong on some of these ofcourse these are my takes on it. The hard part is keeping up with everyone tendecies. I have played soooo many. Did I every tell you about a game where I was play RB and Got him confused with Hades ( ouch that hurt ) Hades is not a bad player but there styles are vastly different. I never would insult anyone in this furom( unless your a cheesehead ) Nowthat you know my plan I have to throw it out for this game I will have to come up with a new one. As well as giving everyone tips on how I play :eek: I will shut up now, I don't even like to type I don't know what got into me.
