PzC Tips & Tactics Time Again!

[Plain Ian]

Gents:  

After a year of playing this superb and classic game series... it's time to share some tips and tactics again!

PzC Tips & Tactics - In no order.

11. It's best to stack armor with assaulting infantry and not have armor assault alone.

13. Use infantry units (when possible) to "dig in" as these units will build IPs and Trenches faster then armor units. Use engineers to "dig in" as these units have a better percentage change of successfully digging per turn. Note - artillery units can "dig in" too, but seem to do better with constructing IPs then Trenches. HQ units cannot "dig in."
          

11. The user manual talks about penalties from not having 'combined arms' or infantry support but strangely enough ALL the examples shown are assaults with infantry? There is no example showing what happens if you assault with pure armour? Of course the armour should all be at half strength. 

For 48 Panthers in Bulge this doesn't make a difference I guess. Also for most 'grognards' who only assault Disrupted units then it also does not make any difference.

13. Infantry units dig in quicker than armour? Mmmh thats not in the manual or in the pdt?
