Question on tactics: Assault, assault and assault

[Gordons HQ]

Ed & McIvan on reflection I think are both right about the assault in many respects and I have no real problem with it, when it is done with what would say are combat units.
I guess as with most things it just depends what you wish to achieve from the game and I have seen some very dubious surround tactics used. Often only because the unit being surrounded has no fire capablity left.
I have done it myself so I am as guilty of it, I've surrounded and disrupted for instance 5 SP ISII's Tanks and then because I have nothing else left, overrun them with halftracks. Yes they surrendered and it was effective, historic and realistic, I think not.
I can't think of any circumstance where that has happened in reality.

Shoot and scoot I agree it would be dificult to do the 2 options thing, but it's not impossible to count to 2 so it depends on a persons integrety.
But that is better than where an whole force comes out of hiding shoots off a shot and then goes back into hiding. In some games I've seen upwards of a hundred tanks at once doing this.
Lets get real here that just didn't happen in the last war. It's just like playing the kids game of hide and seek.
Once again though it depends what you wish to get from the game and I have to respect if that's the way you wish to do it, then that's fine.
Halftracks Leto is fine with me so we agree on that
Bait we agree on that also
Wonderful we are halfway there. lol
I think you are right though it's down to each player to decide on their "Rules of Engagement"
So I suppose the bottom line here is before doing battle LETS TALK
Good Luck and regards,
Gordon
