Using the "Melee" feature

[Maciste]

Melee and overrun are fun'n'fine when enemy units are surrounded by my men; on a long campaign, playing with USSR, I used to deploy a lot of parachutist behind and over the weakest position on the battlefield (i.e. victory hexes offsight of the other enemy positions or nearest to mine forces) and I assault it both sides. Gap is made, and the rest is piece of cake.
