Why thank you ZimZaxZeo :wink:
:P Conservitave retreats? :P
some may have read this in a different post of mine so forgive my repitetion :-?
this is a good strategy for russia to fend off germany
what you need is a mass pile if inf and a conga line following it up to the front(w / karelia this is easy) and maybe 4-8 armor. You cant really go toe to with germany right, so most people decide to build up to discourage a german attack :cry: this may be tried and true but it can only hold out so long against a good axis player. So now the question is WHAT DO I DO NOW? Well fear not here is a good tactic to mix it up a little. You take as much inf as you can, all your armor, and ATTACK!!! “all cowards will be shot”(sorry I do have my Commissar tenacity and tendancies you know)
Well we all know that in real life russia made a lot of strategic retreats that devastaded the german offensives and this is the basis if my tactic 8)
when you attack take inf as casualties(duh) and they will too (" ") so you battle it out with your armor and beat them down until there is a chance that they will score enough hits to take out some tanks and as soon as that happens retreat!
EVEN IF you would be able to take the territory DONT! I dont care how much you could use the IPCs. See by taking the territory you do collect the money that turn but the expensive units that took the territory are extremely vulnerable to counterattack from the next lump in their conga line of death so you dont take it and retreat back to the safety of your next lump.
Sure this may piss of your opponent but does it really accomplish anything?..… Why yes! :P
As we all know inf only have a move of 1. and we also know offenses unsupported by inf are doomed in battles of large magnetuge(hmmmmm)
so what all this does is
Cripple Their Counter-Offensives
so a wise player will not attack you as long as you smash their fronts and they will be more worried about defense than offense and when germany goes on the defense THEY LOSE 8) Hey hey hey
now does anyone have any witty replies to my hopeless tactics in an attempt to make me cry or should I blindly bow to any and all superior intellect now :cry:
