Armored Utilization

[Beruldsen]

I've played a handful of scenarios now...and I'm really enjoying the game. I'm curious about what the best utilization of mechanized forces is. I thought I read somewhere that avoid combat and use to encircle and drive forward.

What do you all think?

Further, it[/left][left]was Liddell Hart who emphasised[/left][left]the use of armoured forces for[/left][left]long-range strokes, operations[/left][left]against the opposing army's communications,[/left][left]and also proposed a[/left][left]type of armoured division combining[/left][left]panzer and panzer-infantry[/left]units."

the game mirrors exploitation very well and that is key. Use your mechanized forces to attack supply.
