Re: I need tactical help
I play as the Germans almost exclusively so it would really help if somebody could give me some pointers.

For the USSR, get a hold of David Isby's "weapons and tactics of the Soviet Union". For NATO, he had a similar volume, whose title I cannot recall (it was less useful as it tried to cover all NATO sides). Both books were released in the early 80's and you will need to track them down in second-hand bookshops. (I did that for weapons and tactics of the SU, but not the NATO one.)
The USA is about the only nation that publishes tactical manuals for all to read. The rest of the world seem to classify such stuff under thier version of the Official Secrets act.

Re: I need tactical help
Just in case anyone is interested in the above book by David Isby, it was Armies of NATO's central Front. Not sure any of the tactical details given are any good as they are based mainly on brigade level battles and are pretty general. As Mobhack states, it covers all the NATO armies on the central front. No Italy Norway etc.
It's helpful if you are into putting together OOB's and looking for weapons data maybe. Or are new to the subject and want to know what an M60A3 is for ex.
Not sure how easy it would be to find either of those volumes.
Q for Mobhack. Did you find that Sov union one recently? I have the NATO one and have been looking for the companion for years. Just wondering if they are still to be found.
TY
Andy

Re: I need tactical help
OOPs no need to reply to that last, Amazon (2nd hand) have the soviet union one for between £40 and £60.

Re: I need tactical help
I got hold of the soviet one for £25 or so a year back. Some second hand bookshop on the net.
The NATO Central Front one I did not search for - it was rather generic since it covered several armies in te same book.

Re: I need tactical help
that gives me a good idea. If I have some time, I'll prepare a "Introductory guide to USSR/Warsaw Pact Tactics", specifally with SP in mind.

Check out theBlitz archives; they have a document released by the U.S Army covering everything there is/was to know about German tactics. |
