A0 HQ as a Primary Target?

Have you had much success with that strategy?

Usaully if you have airpoints the AI will have some ack ack guns to counter any landing deep in the rear or anywhere behind lines,and if you do land somewhat intact,likley will be shot to pieces on landing unless its a night drop (low vis)then you got paras landing in trees or rough or whatnot.

Even worse when playing an experienced human opponent

I've had a fair amount of success though I haven't kept track of the raw numbers. I do recall one point, right after they came out with the last version of SPMBT, I was chasing the enemy's HQ with a Bradley and ran the Bradley out of ammo!

My son is now learning the game using SP:WAW, SP:MBT and SP:WW2. I'm using the new Windows versions myself! I may try running a hotseat battle against him.

Does not compute what do you call chasing, Bradley has a big ammo loadout & would expect it to kill the HQ in 4 or 5 turns tops unless you are engaging at 3kms or something

Not to forget, Bradleys can carry a small squad or 2x scouts.

Get one in the rear and not getting much resistance? why mess with the HQ's?, i'd be attacking arty parks first
