Help me with a basic strategy issue.

[RoyAllen]

Howdy. I'm trying to move up from basic playing of the game to a bit mroe advanced stuff, and I'm glad I've found this forum.

Scenario: Three enemy antitank pill boxes at the other side of the map, with a great LOS on basically all my movement routes. I have light armored tanks only, which would have to engage in a probably 40/60 shot at knocking out or being knocked out. I can use smoke to advance a bit, but then I'm still faced with them at the next advance.

I hear you guys talking about avoiding tank and pillbox encounters like it's no sweat ... hide troops here, advance there, ambush there... but I'm struggling with getting past deadly enemy LOS's that I can't knock out until probably several several turns later.

Thanks,
Matt
