Default Re: CARIBBEAN CRISIS - NOW AVAILABLE!

This campaign also gave me a whole new way to look at airmobile. It showed me how powerful they really can be in game terms. I know this kind of operation is way too complex to ever work in real life, but here is what I did: I took my helos and made them use up the enemy small-arms fire shots. A few would take damage, but transport helos can at least stick around a turn after getting hit so it wasn't a big deal. After the enemy had used up all their heavy weapons, I would land my infantry adjacent to an enemy builing, position, or whatever. They would take some small arms op fire on landing, but enough of them would survive to assault the enemy building. A very gamey tactic, but fun and useful. It solves the problem of how you have to get close to the enemy to do any serious damage.
