Question on tactics: Assault, assault and assault

[Huib Versloot]

I guess I would describe an assault between armor to be intermixed vehicles where the more generalized armor factors start to break down as tanks could start to target individual items (vision slits, periscopes, known weak spots, etc.), rather than more general fire from longer distances. Also with intermixed units, hits on side and rear armor become a lot more likely.

Now admittedly, the game model starts to break down at that scale, but the alternative is that a tank platoon can never move into the hex of an enemy tank unit without getting a retreat first or wiping it out altogether.

Nice description. Makes sense to me. The alternative is not too attractive indeed.
