What Tactics Are Best When Playing the Underdog?

[Weasel]

One thing to remember about these games.. that they are infantry combat with armored support.. the only time you truly have tank-tank warfare is when you don't let the ground pounders in to play..

Even modern warfare tactics have basic doctrine about how much infantry is needed to accomplish a job.. you don't send in the tanks naked.. they become big fat targets..

just make sure that whenever possible your troops have AT weapons..

As far as playing the underdog.. I kind of enjoy that myself..

And Weasel has it right.. numbers have a quality all of it's own..

Just my 2 cents worth..

Yes, my spread out infantry company is making good progress in our game. I use to always play with about 50% armour, but now I take maybe 25%-40%. Klanx171 and myself were talking and he asked a question to which I replied (in regards that only infantry can hold ground) that if you really think about it tanks are the weakest element on the battlefield. They are big and have fire power, but air, infantry and artillery can all cause them death or to flee. Infantry just dig deeper and sit the attack out.
