Some Tactical Questions

[Flibby]

Hi guys,

I have a few questions if someone would be so good as to help...

1: I'm having trouble with travel mode. Either when crossing rivers or approaching the front when using the mode through necessity I wind up having artillery rain down. Is it something to be exclusively used far back in the rear?

2: having read all of the strategy articles I could find, I understand the need to attack with infantry and exploit the gap with armour, however in the shorter scenarios I find that by the time I've got arty set up and in range, got inf up to attack positioned up at weaker point with armour ready to break through, its either 6/20 turns gone and I feel that iv wasted too much time, or my units are fatigued and/or depleted. I've tried rushing in with less set up time but it always feels like. I'm too weak to break the line in strength.

3: finally, I worry about the stacking of my units, but am I right in thinking that as units are attacked separately that it makes no odds?

Sorry for the vague questions I'm just struggling after mastering the interface to get into the mindset of winning and I'm desperate for pointers on this great game!
Thanks.

Nick
