Main Event IV: M1A1 vs. Schwerpunkt

[herroberst]

Mr. X's decision not to buy Crack Snipers will tell when he opens up with his 50mm ATG. Unless he can first button the tanks and then fire the ATG it might have a very short life. But if he can distract the Russian armor the ATG will make short work of the Russian tanks. I am not an advocate of lone guns or tanks - I like at least two to take out targets quickly before there can be a response - this worked well in the two games I am currently playing against M1A1. If I can afford it I really like Pakfronts - in a recent game agains POS I bought a Bersaglieri battalion that came with like eight 47mms and eight 20mms and this was enough to keep that period Brit armor neutralized. If Mr X is patient his 50mm ATG could kill all of those tanks. The worst thing Mr X can do it panic and engage the russian armor too soon and lose his own - he can win if he destroys the russian armor first.
