I finally got around to playing Rusco’s Tulagi Campaign. In the third battle I found I was being shot at from caves. Having some engineers available I decided to plan an assault through smoke ( I assumed that as only the fron had 0 armour my attack would have to be frontal). To maximize the cave dweller's suppression I decided to shoot at the cave from the sides (one hex above a west facing cave). The first unit to attack the cave (from the side) was a 2 man Marine scout group. After the first assault failed I rallied the unit and assaulted again, and again, and again... and ... boooooom, no more cave. Gee, killing caves isn't that hard afterall :D

I thought I read somewhere that you can only assault a cave from the front (or was it shoot at the cave from the front?) However, I found that assaulting cave work from anywhere.

If you follow good sound military protocol, it can be done. Its never easy, but it is not impossible either. I guess the Gyrenes felt the same way :D Wild Bill
