COMBAT TACTICS
Master offensive, defensive, and logistical strategies to lead your division to victory.
⚔️ OFFENSIVE TACTICS
Flanking Maneuvers
Use faster units to circle around enemy positions while the main force engages frontally. Particularly effective against entrenched defenders.
- • Send scouts ahead to identify weak flanks
- • Time the flanking force to arrive simultaneously
- • Keep reserves to exploit the breakthrough
Combined Arms Assault
Coordinate infantry, armor, and artillery for devastating assaults. Each unit type supports the others.
- • Artillery softens fortifications before assault
- • Infantry advances under armor protection
- • Exploit gaps with rapid armor exploitation
River Crossing Operations
Crossing rivers is high-risk. Engineers and overwhelming force are essential.
- • Secure a bridgehead with airborne drops
- • Engineers build ponton bridges quickly
- • Concentrate forces before crossing
Deep Battle Doctrine
Strike deep into enemy rear areas to disrupt command and supply before they can react.
- • Target supply depots and HQ units
- • Cut communication lines
- • Press advantage before enemy reorganizes
🛡️ DEFENSIVE TACTICS
Defensive Line Formation
Create interlocking fields of fire with infantry and machine gun positions.
- • Position anti-tank at likely armor approaches
- • Machine guns on flanks for enfilade fire
- • Reserves behind the line for counterattack
Terrain Utilization
Use forests, towns, and rivers to your advantage. Each terrain type provides different benefits.
- • Towns provide excellent defensive cover
- • Forests conceal unit movements
- • Rivers slow armored advances
Delay and Retard Tactics
Slow the enemy advance without committing to a decisive battle. Trade space for time.
- • Destroy bridges behind you
- • Use obstacles and mines
- • Fall back to prepared positions
Counterattack Readiness
A good defense includes reserves for counterattacks when the enemy overextends.
- • Keep 30% of forces in reserve
- • Position reserves centrally
- • Strike when enemy momentum stalls
📦 LOGISTICS & SUPPLY
Supply Line Management
Supply lines are your lifeline. Extended lines are vulnerable to interdiction.
- • Keep supply lines short when possible
- • Capture enemy supply depots
- • Protect supply routes with patrols
Terrain Effects on Supply
Mountains, forests, and swamps slow supply flow significantly.
- • Plan routes through open terrain
- • Establish forward supply points
- • Account for weather impacts
Fuel Conservation
Fuel is critical for mechanized operations. Every unit consumes fuel when moving.
- • Prioritize fuel for essential units
- • Use horse-drawn artillery where possible
- • Capture enemy fuel reserves
Medical and Reinforcement
Casualties accumulate without medical support. Plan for replacement flow.
- • Position medical units behind lines
- • Evacuate wounded to field hospitals
- • Request reinforcements through HQ
GENERAL TIPS
Prioritize Targets
Always target enemy artillery and HQ units first—they're high value.
Use Pause Feature
Pause frequently to issue orders and coordinate multi-unit maneuvers.
Scout Everything
Never attack without recon. Know enemy positions before committing.
