Strategy - Smolensk Op. Situtation #3

[GerryM]

Thanks. So many questions to ask.

1. Who would you send straight up the middle and who would guard the flanks? Would it be some weaker units to mind the flanks for example?
2. Does armor go into the city accompanied by infantry. Or is it mainly infantry that goes into major built-up areas?
3. I would never have thought of artillery to weaken their counterattacks. I thought it was mainly to disrupt the defenders in the way of your assaults?
4. What does a human defender do that the AI cannot?

I appreciate your time and patience. I am sure most of this is obvious to non-noobs.
