Still a beginner, but hoping to move into 'intermediate' level. Ran up against this in my first real run through of the scenario "Road to Moscow" yesterday.
Had to wait a turn for the infantry to come up to the front to help smash my way across the Dniper.
Sounds like I will need to do better management of my motorized divisions to get them more MPs and also I need to focus on getting enough infantry to the front quickly. Perhaps not running the motorized guys at max speed and keeping them closer to supply and/or just conserving fuel might help in that regard, but it is just too tempting to keep driving deep into enemy territory.
Thanks for the post.
By the time the mech units have enough mps to do the job, the infantry will be there. In other words, slow or fast with the mech doesn't matter as the result will be the same river crossing - wise.
