Default Re: Question about game\'s mechanics

1) Assassinate enemy artillery
2) See rule 1

I like using airstrikes for this. You can identify artillery positions by the smoke plume they create. Get into the habit of keeping a notepad around so you can record the position of the artillery. Watch the enemies turn carefully so that you can identify how much of each type of artillery he has. If you have long range artillery (155mm etc) and they are very experienced (above 75) DO NOT use them in normal fire missions. Just let them sit there and they will start executing counterbattery missions on their own.

In general you have the main idea down. Use manuver to bring more of your units to bear on the enemy then use firepower to obliterate that enemy.

In most situations don't lead with armor. Use an infantry screen in front of your tanks. The infantry units have a better chance of detected unseen/unfired units and better still mines. If you must lead with armor mount some infantry on those units if possible to absorb close assaults and to improve your chance of detecting enemy units.
