How to defeat bunkers/fortifications?

[Tordan69]

Hi, I just got back to BA and played the first D-day scenario. I´m curious on how best to attack bunkers and other fortified units? Can´t remember if Engineers = flamethrowers? If not, does any other units than flamethrower capable ones have attack "bonuses" to bunkers? Are there bonuses to flame a bunker from the side/rear (if it has front/side/rear directions?

Well, and firstly confessing that my usual skill at the game is of the "lost all his men and was courtmarshalled and shot" level, you would generally want to suppress them so you can get up close and then assault to destroy them, or just keep pounding away with direct fire once you have units close enough to see them. The units in the heavy bunker will never surrender.

Flamethrowers are very good at attacking these kinds of fortifications that is true.
