In FPC real tactic work the best. Here is an example of a Soviet attack.

This shows the idea was to lead with tanks, follow that up with an infantry attack and then back that by more tanks.

Works for me. [:D]

Good Hunting.

All we need now is the ability to air assault.

I try to stick to Soviet tactics as much as I can especially on the attack including trying to separate out and position some CRP's between the leading recon and main body, depending on scenario size of course.

You forgot the 10 KT airburst over the NATO lines prior to going into coy. formation [;)]

I think it comes down to understanding the Red OOB and echelon doctrine.

A typical MRR will have an assault contingent (tanks plus BMPs) and an exploitation contingent (tanks plus BTRs)

Your first wave Battalion should look like this: Recon>Tanks>BMPs. The big question is when (and where) to dismount the infantry in the BMPs....too soon and the tanks outpace the grunts; too late and the infantry die in their IFV's.

Don't lead your assault with the BTR Batys. They aren't meant for a slogging match.

Maintain forward momentum and use Assault orders.

It helps to put yourself into the head-space of the Red Army: they think on two levels....Military Arts and Military Science.
