A win on probe mission

[H1nd]

Probe, attack and assault affect the force ratio of the opposing sides. If I have understood it right the attacker get's more points on each level vs relatively same amount of points for the defender on each level. In addition for this in assault the attacker might get certain amount of intel.

It's actually fairly simple logic:
Probe = hastely prepared "on the go" attack with what ever is at hand in the spear head. => less points for the attacker vs the defender

Attack = more prepared action against dug in enemy who clearly intents to hold the ground and not just delay the attacker.

Assault = well prepared attack against well prepared defensive positions = more arty, more tanks, etc etc for the attacker as well as some intel from scouting performed before the battle.
