Switch to Basic Formation ->
Good tips Desh44!
I have found lately, (after turning up the AI to be stronger) that if you keep your infantry together, supported with tanks in overwatch with scouts out in front and moving at a slow pace you can easily defeat the AI or "trick" the AI into traps.
This is much harder against an "unwilling" non-AI opponent that is attempting same on you.
If however, you "charge" full speed ahead one unit at a time, your "core" forces will surely disappear over time and be completely useless replacements.
So what I tend to do is the following, using an A0, 1 Inf Platoon (4 squads) with one ATR section, 2 Tanks, and 2 scouts as a basic example:
A0 HQ
B0 Inf (HQ|LT)
B1 Squad 1
B2 Squad 2
B3 Squad 3
B4 ATR
C0 Tank 1 (HQ)
C1 Tank 2
D0 Scout 1 (HQ)
D1 Scout 2
Basic advancing formation:
C1 B1 D0
A0 B4 B2
C0 B3 D1
Make sense?
