BottleRocket Posted August 30, 2000 Share Posted August 30, 2000 Let's say, at the beginning of a turn, you find two squads of your own infantry and two squads of your opponents infantry inside on the bottom floor the same large building. What orders can you give them that will give them an advantage over the enemy troops eyeing you hungrily from across the room? Should they just stand there and blast away?

Kingfish Posted August 30, 2000 Share Posted August 30, 2000 Not much you can do except sit back and watch. Assuming they are full strength squads, then you are talking about 40 or so men blasting away at nearly point-blank range. I'd hate to be the guy in front ------------------ Charlie don't surf!

IntelWeenie Posted August 30, 2000 Share Posted August 30, 2000 For most close (under 50m) engagements, I try to mass fires on one or two enemy units. Infantry fire is extremely deadly at close range and doing this seems to help by quickly killing one or two units (dead men don't shoot back) on the outsides to reduce potential target overload and open up possibilites for flanking. Someone suggested a while back that splitting into teams might help, but I think the morale hit at these ranges is more important. (I use that tactic as well, but not under 100m) ------------------ "Belly to belly and everything's better" - Russian proverb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
