Default Re: urban fighting

For the footies, urban fighting is a bugger. Plenty of artillery is a necessity, if you don't mind tearing up the city. Think grenades, lots of them, Short range automatic weapons, smgs really come into their own here. Satchel charges and flamethrowers are also a good idea. Armoured vehicles should advance slowly, never out of the range of the infantry. Infantry should move according to opportunity.

Defending? Lots of antitank weapons. Launch holding attacks to stop probes and take out armour. Heavy machine guns and snipers can pin enemy down in open areas like plazas and parks. Have a suffiency of artillery.
