Killing Groups

[Lt. Ketch]

Thank you for the imput. I must confess that I saw the defensive abilities and advantages of a force make up like this, but simply forgot to mention them in my post. I think that a unit like this would be a lot better on the defencive than offensive, like many of you have mentioned.

Shifting gears then, how do most people "launch an assault?" What I would love to do is to scout out the area, blow the ever-loving-tar out of the line with artillary (I follow the Russian doctrine in many ways), and then exploit the gap with highly mobile units. What has been happening lately is that I creep up on foot until I blunder into the enemy. Spend three turns waiting for my artillary to come in and then try to sprint through an gap made with a bunch of leg crunchies, all the while praying that I got the ATGs with my artillary. I wasn't very good at having a reserve. My current battle, however, is an advance and I am taking great pleasure that I have a highly mobile reserve (in reserve) to exploit the gaps that are going to be made. I'm looking forward to working on this tactic and improving my skills.

Is this the way most people do it? What kind of make up does your assualting forces have and how do you go about "un"digging your enemy?
