Colonel_Klink Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 Well, today I was playing a scenerio and at the beginning I decided for a change of pace, and would go it the slow way and move carefully. One of my more glaring weaknesses is moving my tanks ahead of my infantry. I also decided for a change of that, and kept my tanks behind or beside my infantry. Another thing that hindered me was my lack of forethought. I might recognize a likely place of where the enemy might be, but I never thought beyond that (ie, where to attack from, what might the enemy have there, should I sneak in, move or rush?). Changed for the scenario as well. I took a good long time at the beginning to decide how I'd move my men and what I wanted to do with them, and how I would use my armor in combination with them. Much to my surprise, I did very well. I timed my infantry jumps, and used my tanks to pin down the enemy while they did so. I'm about 20 turns into the 35, with 1 flag under my control and two left to go (the mass of the enemies units seemed to be around that 1 flag, which was located in a small town). About half of my squads are in top shape, with the rest having a loss of 1-3 men per squad. All my armor is currently with me. Hopefully, I will make it and win the rest of the map.

Priest Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 Best way to learn this is play PBEM and then as you get good at it, the process becomes second nature and you can plot movement and see strategy fast enough to play TCP/IP and maintain a good speedy game clip.
