More MC Tactics and Strategies!

Gents: 

I've added the following information to my "Modern Campaigns - Tactics and Strategies" article! 


More MC Tactics and Strategies!

• Bypass and flank enemy positions. The threat of being surrounded / isolated will cause the enemy to abandon positions.
  

• Moving units in Travel (T)-mode. Move T-mode units in increments of one hex instead of traveling the entire desired distance in T-mode. This will greatly reduce air interdiction. For example; moving a T-mode unit three hexes, you would move the T-mode unit one hex. Stop./ Then one hex. Stop. / Then one hex. Stop.
  

• Engineers. Keep these units near your offensive axis to clear mines and obstacles.
  

• HQ's. Don't stack other units (except AA) with HQ's. These units may be detected each turn (radio interceptions) and then can be targeted by enemy airstrikes and/or artillery.
  

• Heavy armor (M1's and Leopard II's). When this armor is entrenched in urban / forest hexes, it is nearly impossible (short of using WMD) to extract or destroy. Enemy must bypass and flank.
  

• Entrenching. I believe entrenching has a nearly 100% success rate per turn. This reflects armor and mech infantry units having specialized mechanized entrenching equipment that travels with the units. I believe non-mech infantry does it the "old fashioned way" and uses a manual entrenching shovel - one per man!
  

   

• Mech Infantry: WP fields several carrier models. The BMP-2 are the most lethal. These carriers have a hard attack range of 2 and can knock out armor effectively. Also, all WP mech infantry are amphibious and can cross major rivers without using bridges.
  

• Quality versus Quantity. NATO has Morale A and B units that have superior attack range and sometimes thermal imaging sights (TIS). In night combat, a non-TIS units that fires on a unit that has TIS, the fire value is halved. When a unit that has TIS fires at a non-TIS unit, the fire value is doubled.  WP has Morale C units and LOTs of troops per unit. WP armor units usually have 20-25 tanks and WP mech infantry units have 500 men!
