Guidelines to winning CM battles

[Colonel Talvela]

I sent this to a new CMer who was asking, so I thought it would be worth posting.


Here are my guidelines to winning CM battles.

1. Know your units capabilities - everything else depends on this.
2. Engage the enemy with superior firepower - ie dont fight a fair fight.
3. For units with limited ammo (mortars, artillery, SMG squads, flamers, etc) shoot to kill.
4. Win the infantry battle

During a game do the following:
1. Make a simple plan
2. Concentrate your force while having eyes over the maximum area.
3. Lead with infantry
4. Unless defending - get control of the flags as fast as safely possible.
