Turn one my Marder is cherry picked just like that by a Spitfire, never had a chance, like he psychically new it was a good spot to put something. Oh well you move on. Not a thrilling way to start the battle though.
I scam the first entry into town (Matildas are slow eh).
I decide my opponent likely can at least make the edge of town, but no one there (it seems) when my Stuka strikes though.
I invest the town (infest I suppose if you are not me).
I see a reasonable Stuka target and WTF! and he shoots my Stuka down!!
Now it's really personal
Oh well, I am exchanging blows with him and doing the ugly on his infantry. Doesn't make me happy yet.
But finally the tide might be turning. My armour is picking off his. Seem Crusaders and Honeys don't hold up well to tank fire.
Not counting my chickens yet though. I have two Matildas that need to go before I get cocky.
I still have dominance in town, but my luck could fail, or not, you never know eh.
It's not like the game gives you 10 or 20 tanks either, you get 2 or 3 tanks of any given type if you are lucky. Use them wisely, you WILL miss any losses. It's like chess in that respect, only so many key pieces. And you need those pawns (infantry) too.
Not to mention, tanks suck at finding infantry, and if the troops are told to shut up and not fire, they can be nearly invisible (which I notice a lot).
