I find anti aircraft guns to be best used in ground operations,with heavy armour,i never use them with consideration of air strikes,small AA are good for soft and heavy AA i use as a tank.How do others employ AA?Also i find light tanks very useless,what role suits them best,they seem best used as scouts,or against weak infantry in the open.

A few well placed small AA 20mm and concealed in a treeline. with soft targets applied, with min range of 3. Perfect Ambush setting in conjunction with a LMG as well as a inf platoon. It will definately give you time to group up re-enforcements and move to that trouble area. On Heavy AA I use them totally against Armor. If Visibility is very low I keep them out of harms way until the next scenario. I place them in bunkers in concealed areas with a MG section. A mortar Section within 3 Hexes, and Transportation out of sight and hidden that is close by.
