Default Re: Killing Infantry

I've been playing alot of infantry themed campaings and scens (many of which feature no arty, planes, mortars or anything other than basic infantry, and maybe some apcs), I've found the best way to get rid of enemy infantry, is waste their return fire in your turn (preferably on things they can't kill, or squads far away to prevent mass casulties), and then get an infantry squad in the next hex and open fire from close range.

This can be done with regular foot infantry (it takes slightly more planning and turns), or mechanized infantry, sometimes it takes 2 or 3 turns "preparing" the enemy squad, and then one good strike to take them out of the game.

Of course, you could substitue that with any sort of thing which has enough fire to hurt the squad (apc, tank etc), but generally you need to pin the squad, waste their return fire, and then move a squad into the next hex.

Regular firefights (between 3 and more hexes) you'll probably need something like a heavy sniper to break the deadlock.

oh, one more thing, when you are moving units for the enemy to shoot at (or shooting at them getting a response back), try to use different units for every movement\firing.
