Tank assaults

[TheBigRedOne]

The challenge of the SB game engine is that there are high prices to pay under certain circumstances. Tanks can be deployed as battering rams against infantry in the open, and they will absolutely devastate the ground pounders. Armor running around the screen crushing infantry with no corresponding infantry support is a touch on the gamey side, in my book. A combined infantry/armor assault, not as much.

Best defense is to have an AT weapon hidden from view and hit the armor as it tries to take out your infantry. Even better, never leave your infantry in the open at the end of a turn if you suspect armor is around. Not always feasible, I understand, but I always try to get my guys some cover at the end of each turn if at all possible...
