Dealing with Russian SMG troops in CMBB

[Ratzki]

I agree, you cannot fight them in good cover and win, but if you can get them to move to the edge of cover where a machinegun or two from a good distance can work them over and keep them pinned, you can get in there with some squads and work 'em over at close quarters. You should try to always gain superiority in as many ways as you can, cover, firepower, movement, or numbers. The big thing is to deny them movement and keep them out of the fight. Sometimes the best attack is not to attack but hem them in, and so they might get a flag, if they can move no farther and stay out of their 100m range, then they are effectively removed from the fight with little or no great expenditure of ammunition or men. An HMG from an effective distance can keep them from moving from cover to cover, you can then concentrate on the other flags with the extra men you gained from not having to fight with the SMG squads.
