Extreme Assault Clarification

[Jim von Krieg]

Guys,

Let's not let this devolve into a spat... We're all adults and just need to speak civil to each other...

Yes, it is optional, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about it... and we shouldn't get heated just because someone doesn't think we should talk about it...

Many of us are just working through to see how we can incorporate it into our strategy... I had to make a conscious effort to change up my methods... It is still in experimentation mode with me...

I'm just beginning to expand my understanding of EA through experience... and reading the experience of others...

I use firepower to disrupt and damage enemy units... artillery to pound a position... combined assaults from different directions... it works more often than not... however, it is definitely not the automatic tag'm and bag'm that it used to be...

Built up areas are much more difficult when infantry is in there... My experience with armor is pretty shallow, but it seems armor suffers a bit in built up areas... which is expected...

and in the Salerno fight, the special buildings make it a rough fight... My foe has tried various techniques, but the engineer still hangs on... I would write them off; however, it is very interesting how the engineers in conjunction with an early armored assault on the beachhead have really whittled the Amis down a bit... when I played the Amis, it would seem I got lucky as my foe bolted for the hills and didn't fight it out in Paestum...

Regards,

Jim
