Tips from the Frontline

Great post RNL Tiger.

Area fire against tanks can pay dividends. I had an opponent drop 105 arty on an area that included a couple of T-34s. One T-34 was gun damaged by a blast 19m away over its right shoulder (say about 4 o'clock). So, maybe area fire within 20m works with a big enough blast.

Another thing to keep in mind is that buildings provide temporary cover. Looking at the pic above, it looks like the panzers are using a small wooden building and some trees (maybe one tile?) to block los. Sometimes you can get los or at least force your opponent to move the tanks by dropping the building. You'll have to wait for the dust to disappear, though. Also, if they are close enough (which isn't the case here), the exploding building might also damage the tank or TC if he is exposed.
