Default Re: Assaults

Interesting question and good behind the scenes info. As a veteran of many campaigns, there will come a time you will curse the EN's minefields.

I find no matter what, buy as much engineering support you can on an assault. If there is little or no mines, Engineers still make excellent Infantry. I try where possible, attach Engineers that also have good infantry weapons, this allows for them to be more useful. Flamethrowers and Charges are fine maybe in one platoon or squad depending on your core size for bunkers etc. Also mineclearing armour is nice but require more thought in their use as they are bullet magnets. I prefer a Company of Engineers over 2 mineclearing tanks. This again depends on your core and supports points. Assaults as in real life take more careful planning and use up men and equipment quickly. Enjoy your campaign.
