I knew that various WWII special forces carried daggers or stilettos, such as the famous Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife, but the type of stiletto with which the above-shown, er, soldiers are equiped aren’t a particular weapon category with which I was previously familiar. The closest equivalent I can think of is Betty Grable’s legs, photographs of which boosted the morale of American GIs in WWII to such an extent that they probably had a significant impact on the course of the war. I think that at one point 20th Century Fox went so far as to insure her legs for 1 million IPCs…um, I mean dollars.
What to use vs tanks
-
i’ve come into a few situation where i’ve faced a all tank army. what would be the best unit and/or tactic to use aginst armour
-
telling your opponent to not do that ever again :smile: Doesnt matter what you do as long as you destroy em all by attacking.
-
Keep in mind that tanks are stronger when attacking…so when at all possible, attack them first. If you’re unable to attack first, another good defense is the faithful troop. Cheap, dependable, and expendable. Cheaper than tanks, and you could probably build a large enough army of troops to dramatically sway the outcome of the battle.
-
yeah, lots of infantry with a fighter or 2…
-
Then they take devistating losses and, more than likely, will never regain their offensive force. Always attack with sufficeint infanry to absorb hits from the battle and the near inevitable counter-attack
-
If he builds all tanks, just sit back and build infantry. You’ll win. Once you have enough, attack the tanks.
-
Greensleeves is 100% accurate on this one.
In fact this strat… is probably what makes
him a winner…
-
Infantry, Infantry, Infantry. An all tank army may be powerful offensively, but each time you hit them they get aprox. 1/2 less hit per round. when you have enough infantry build four to six tanks and swarm him.
-
what kind of an idiot would attack with an all tank army.he’ll take huge losses.
-
exactly, cover everything with infantry to season…
