Don’t bother to look at the Victory Hex values on turn one, after all, knowing the best places to attack only ruins the chances of enjoying some confusion.
Never check to see if starting armour has anyone actually riding on it when they begin the scenario or enter as reinforcements. It’s far more fun to find out you had that extra squad later and doing the battle the hard way.
Immediately fire your limited bazooka team anti tank rounds at the first enemy unit to expose itself. It’s always fun to see the panic it causes to meaningless enemy troops. And they are great for making unimportant vehicles really go kaboom.
Besides those rounds are heavy eh, and odds are they wouldn’t blow up an actually dangerous tank anyway.
Never spend even 5 seconds clicking through your starting units, to check out their current status at the start of a game or at the beginning of a turn.
Besides real men never ask for directions correct?
Intentionally sit on any enemy entry hexes when found. This causes pandemonium and chaos and can be quite a hoot to watch.
When given numerous tanks or anti tank capable forces as reinforcements assume you are merely lucky. After all, it’s possible right? It’s not like you will really need them.
Always make a mad dash towards the VH locations on turn one. This confuses the AI into shooting artillery missions into the wrong places (where a sane person would be).
Attack with any unit, even the command units, because glory should be for everyone eh. Remember, its not the weapons the unit possesses that’s important, its how big a number the unit possesses that’s important.
In Steel Panthers, it’s the size of your unit that counts, bigger is better
MG units make great recon units, and if they die, well they were only small units anyway, and remember size matters more.
It’s a waste of time using the lay of the land to maneuver. The direct route is best. Open fields that allow fast movement are always better than slow plodding routes through trees.
There is never an easy route across rivers, so don’t bother looking for one.
