spearman_uk Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I'm early on in the British campaign and new to CM as well. Finding the Brits pretty challenging to play with. If anyone has any tactical suggestions it'd be much appreciated. All I've picked up so far is engaging at a distance with Schimitars to keep their soft armour out of the way. (I'm still getting used to CMSF realistic engagement distances so probably half my own fault there.) Infantry seem to get mown down entering/clearing buildings, even if I rake them with canon and MG fire first. [This is very noticable with the smaller Brit infantry sections.] Is my best bet to pay attention to threads like the very informative strategy guide above? I.E using smoke - some have pointed out how good the 51mm mortar is for this use in other posts on the subject - suppress with one group and flank with another? Any good tips with the Brits, or anything relevant I blatantly don't know from my newbie ignorance much appreciated. Thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Infantry seem to get mown down entering/clearing buildings, even if I rake them with canon and MG fire first. A rule of thumb I usually go with: If you think that you have raked it with cannon and MG enough, then give it about another 5 more minutes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webwing Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 spearman_uk, There have been quite a few threads about this. Differences between UK, US, etc. Tactics to use too. Mostly in the main forum area. Since you are new to both the game and the UK module, yes it will take some time to get used to it. It´s actually very nice stage to be! Here are some links of threads you might find interesting. Also check posts by flamingknives and Combatintman, 2 experts that helped get the module right! ;-) US vs Brits Impressions of the campaign First impressions of British gameplay British Section Sizes VS Mechanised Squads? Have fun! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Don't listen to my stuff - I might have done the research but I get hammered all the time in the game! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
