Quote:I have also been thinking about getting 3 platoons of pzIVs (15 tanks) and regular battalion - full POS fist
Last 5000 point assault I played my foe came at me with a massive amount of armour. A flood of soviet steel.
At first things went well for him, he concentrated all the armour at one break through point and crushed everything in his path. However when it came to taking and holding the flags he came unstuck. I was able to shred off his infantry support which meant he had to hold flags with tanks. When he attempted to do this my infantry (I had only bought 5 tanks) was able to close assault his tanks and cause him considerable casualties. For most of the game I was well behind but in the last 4 or 5 turns (out of 45) I was able to reverse that trend and come out with a minor victory.
I find tanks offer the opfor leverage on their force picks. There are alot of points tied up in tanks and they can be killed by something relatively cheap.
If you can stand them off at range and pound the opfor that is great, but you must allways have the foot stompers to go in and hold the important ground.
