good doctrine for armored infantry?

[Volcano Man]

Right, medium and light artillery have a hard attack 3, but heavy artillery (150mm and above) is hard attack 5 - and yes, the latter can be a big deal against T mode armored infantry. Of course it is a matter of having them in the right place though.

But what is a "big deal" is relative of course. Even medium artillery with a hard attack of 3 can deal upwards to 9 kills (as long as the spotting infantry are not detached) with each shot on T mode armored infantry, which is about the same punishment that the T mode armored infantry administers on the lower valued rifle battalion with each shot, so I am not convinced that it is a good trade myself (at least keeping them in T mode in contact I mean). If the guns are concentrated and everything is in command then they can exact a heavy toll. I also worry (perhaps too much so) about an unknown tank battalion just behind the front line, or an airstrike or two -- things that are out of your control when the enemy is playing their turn. But, as with everything, it all depends on the situation.

I guess it is no different than tanks doing the same tactic, with the exception that you might be able to catch a T mode armored infantry unit and make them pay if you have the right tools available at the right time and place.
