ATG's at the front line conundrum

[Lien Leposh]

I should add that on my normandy campaign, as the defending germans, I almost exclusively fire on AT guns whenever I can, and have so far killed 1633 guns (we are on turn 185) and have only lost 930. AT-guns are a great source of vp's :)

Hmmm, going preferentially for the guns.
Have you not been sussed out on that score and had them used to distract you from other types of threat... yet? ;)

Do you not consider that to be a bit of a "gamey" tactic because they are such an easy source of VPs or, as a relative newcomer here, am I being naiive?

I don't think it is "gamey" to go after guns, simply because there are ways to protect the guns better. I place AT guns in dug-in positions along a road or other such high speed avenue of approach. If the guns are not dug in then they are certainly vulnerable, and if this tactic is being done then surely the opponent would decide to stop pushing the guns up to the front line before digging in the destination hex.

Since I think the discussion is about Normandy '44, a properly dug in AT gun unit in bocage or city is almost impossible to dislodge with firepower alone, so I can't see dug in AT gun units drawing fire as anything more than a distraction (if they are dug in well).

Well thats ok then. If everyone's doing it then I miight dabble myself.
Game etiquette is something I am aware of.
I played Russo German War as Russians once and the opponent moved his battleships far inland in rather a cheeky and scoundrelly fashion.
Its just not cricket you know chaps
