Re: Killing Infantry
Hi,
Another opinion on the subject.
Infantry are hard to kill, those guys are not standing out in the open waiting for you to shoot them :-) they are making use of every bit of cover they can find.
So Pin them with fire, then pound them with artillery and keep it going until they start to take casualties and retreat/rout and as they retreat keep pounding them, don't give them an option to regroup. From observation, routing units are much easier to kill with small arms fire and MICV armament, even Tank secondary armament has a better effect. Not sure if this is actually stated in the manual, about routing units, but it seems to hold true.
Artillery after all is the killer of the battlefield. Infantry are there to mop up afterwards.
One other point on this is once you have a target for your artillery don't keep switching it every turn. Pick a target and hit it hard until you are sure it's not going to bother you again.
TY
Andy
