general attacking questions

[Liquid_Sky]

Assualting: Multiply the number of men by the assualt value of the attacking force...do the same for the defender...(vehicles count as 10men each)

Modify by a half for each of: Disruption, Low Ammo, Digging in...

Form an odds...attack/defense.

If you are undisrupted in the assualt...and the defender is completely disrupted, you will take the hex.

I find you need to have more then 1:1 to cause more casualties then you take.

What this also means that if you take an A quality unit and assualt a hex which is filled with Disrupted units...you will take the hex...but you may suffer a lot of casualties whilst doing it.

I once assualted a beach hex in Normandy with a single battalion of German B quality infantry because all the americans therein were disrupted. I probably only had a 1:3 at best, but since he was disrupted (and couldnt retreat due to stacking) I killed half his men (about 600) while losing about 100 (with massive fatigue loss as well, since it was night)..
