Extreme Assault Tactics - What Works Best?

[Jason Petho]

So... effective EA tactics are to be VERY selective on assaults... utilize Hawk's 6 points... and employ more direct fire + bombardments against enemy units... correct?

This pretty well sums it up, yes.

After you've surrounded and isolated the defending unit(s), and when you think you've caused enough morale checks on the defending unit to reduce the morale ... hit it with a couple more shots before assaulting.

In essence, Otto von Blotto was correct in saying that assaulting in the open (using tanks) is easier than other terrain as the tanks gain an assault bonus for assaulting in the open and the defenders do not gain the terrain modifier. Without EA, it doesn't matter if the disrupted infantry is in an open hex, forest or city, the assault result is the same.
