Main Event IV: M1A1 vs. Schwerpunkt

[Kelen]

LOL...you infantry lovers and your delusions of grandeur. The reason that M1A1 went tank heavy is because a tank force, properly handled, can pummel any infantry force. Obviously if you have a huge forest or thick fog, it is a different matter. I think the problem that many have is that they do not know how to best utilize their armor so they buy a lot of infantry.
There is an old saying in the Army about Tanks. It is long so I will paraphrase it. "One tank can do as much battlefield damage in 10 minutes as an infantry Company can do all day." Thats the facts.

True, but there's also another old Army saying that goes along the lines of, "tanks can take ground, but it needs infantry to keep hold of it". M1A1 can take the flags, but it will onto require a couple of squads in hiding and what he thinks is his will be contested.

Those tanks will provide a lot of HE, but he only needs to lose a couple and it will start looking pretty shaky for M1A1. Personally I think he's too infantry light for this terrain and I'm afraid I'm now going to have to change my bet and back Mr X for a tac vic. (Hopefully M1A1 will prove me wrong though and I'll kick myself for swapping). :)
