    On the contrary, do give arcs, but make sure they are armor only and cover a wide area. Otherwise, you'll run the risk of having your armor focus on his infantry while his own tanks centers yours in his crosshairs. </font>

    A big advantage of using arcs (imho ) is this :

    When you have multiple tanks, you can give each tank a section to cover.

    If you dont do this, you see often this happening:

    Your tank targets a squad? on 2 o clock at 600 meters....turret is turning and then.....he spots a better target on 10 o clock at 500 meters...turret is turning.....then he spots an even better target on 12 o clock at 550 meters ! etc

    You can prevent this with arcs.

    Russian defense

    Your right Walpurgis

    In one of my last pbem battles, i was defending.

    I had a platoon in a trench in woods.( bad choice btw, use trenches in open ground, that way the advantage is much better than in woods )

    The platoon was hiding ( stupid )

    Anyway, suddenly the enemy units were right in front and IN the trench.

    The platoon had about 50 % casualties, before they could fight then enemy unit ( 2 squads ) back.

    Never hide units on defense !
