RE: Shermans v Panthers help

Fantastic tips, thanks, Gris. Really appreciated. In particular I have been COMPLETELY neglecting number 4, and not paying enough attention to 7 and 8. With regards to 7 that means that the 'tactic' of coming out, firing (attracting his op fire in return), then moving back to cover might not be so useful, perhaps, because the op fire you get if he can attack you might be very useful? On the other hand, I'm not sure how op fire works but it 'seems' to me that the return fire (the op fire) is much less effective than the fire I actually command during my turn?

I am at the moment losing tanks hand over fist. I'm playing Dennis in Epsom 1 and it's a bloodbath. Visibility has been so short (2 hexes) that the tanks haven't been able to stand off when using them as support for trench and bunker assaults. Costly. And that's without him even committing his Panthers....

As far as tanks assaulting, I'd like more info. Do you mean you can assault tanks with tanks in close terrain? Or did you mean with infantry? Have you tried assaulting Panthers with Shermans? I wonder how the results differ from standing back and firing?

Many thanks, again.
