Dealing with Russian SMG troops in CMBB

[Saint Ruth]

You don't. Laugh and them and go take the rest of the map. Leave an MG or MG-armed light armored vehicle covering open routes out of their lair, and then flat ignore them. I don't care if they are on a flag. Go kill the rest of the Russian force.

Actually though this is an obvious, it's the best piece of advice for a lot of CM situations.

E.g. If you're Russian with a bunch of T-34/76 in July 43, don't try for a LOW kill against the Tiger's rear, just ignore that slow tiger and use the T-34s to kill his half-tracks or impede his infantry.
Same with AT guns. Ignore it. Try and get around it. Don't try have a shooting match.

The entire point of Blitzkreig is to ignore the enemy's strong points and attack his weak points. A lot of people do the opposite.
