Warsaw Pact VS NATO

[Kool Kat]

Hi Rich: 

Any response to your request for advice? 

Could you give more details on what you are struggling with? 

Hi Kat

After looking at AAR`s I thought I would just advance to contact with the Fronts closest WP units , see what develops, shoot all the Arty  &  Air we can and then try to  Blitz through along the whole line !!   After all, this Is The Great Patriotic War II !

Any breakthroughs would be supported by the second echelon Divisions, the Third echelon Divisions would replace the resting Guards Divisions in the first wave so they could pass through the expanding ( hopefully ) breach's of the second echelon  troops.

Sounded good, but everything is just stuck .  and looks like I`m out of special munitions at Turn 40.

Gent: 

Here are tactical ideas that I have used in my PBeM MC games:

• Focus on one sector and blitz through it.
  
• Use scout helos ahead of your main offensive axis to uncover hidden enemy units.
  
• Follow your scout helos with gunship helos to bust up uncovered enemy armor.
  
• Hit detected enemy units with arty. Use air strikes on important targets (HQs and arty).
  
• Deliver arty mine ordnance along your flanks at natural choke points (bridges and cross roads in woods). You want to slow the movement of enemy reinforcements being rushed to plug gaps.  
  
• Each turn, look to use your armor and mech units to flank entrenched enemy forces. Cut off their withdrawals, surround, and then eliminate.
  
• WP has the numbers. Use them. Make sure you can muster 3 WP armor units to NATO's 1 armor. But, don't move mech units adjacent to NATO armor that has not been dispersed or you will pay big time!
  
• Unleash WMD only if your WP forces get bogged down or you need to force an opening to a close objective hex. On the turn you deliver chemical ordnance, make sure you "unstack" all your WP units to present fewer big targets for the NATO retaliation with tactical nukes. 
  

Hopefully, these ideas will help your game play!
