Small unit problem

[Alex1812]

I had the same situations with small units in several last PBEM games. I mean the units which has only 1-2 rifle squads (and lost other).

The great problem is that this unit block movements and it is very hard or even impossible to destroy it.

For example, my unit (with 1 infantry squad) stopped Soviet tank battalion and my opponent cannot destroyed my unit during all game

Did the Soviet battalion use Assault for movement? I believe Assault will allow units to overrun and then pass through and beyond. Deliberate or Hasty movements stop upon contact. Deliberate will resume after the enemy is eliminated.

I don't know the enemy orders, but I saw that Soviet side firing a lot in close distance and my unit not died.

There is another very close situation. US unit (2 squads) destroy Soviet MRC in same hex battle and did not lost any squad

In the third game my recon unit (1 squad) fighting with Soviet MRB + TB in the city during 2 hours before I lost it

What kind of terrain? As a former squad leader, I can tell you hiding, shooting, and scooting in and around mounted forces is not all that terribly difficult, given the right terrain.

Small units in built-up terrain can be a pain to knock out. Jeff is correct that Assault moves will allow you to run over or bypass the issue.
