The Combined Arms Penalty

[Plain Ian]

This has been a very helpful discussion. Thanks Green. I hadn't understood this rule at all up until now, perhaps because of the clumsy wording.

Yes. Once you understand it, then manual makes sense. Pity it does not work the other way round.

Mmmh well I still don't understand this rule? Are we saying pure armour attacks are better than a supported infantry attacks whether the support is 'adequate' or not? That doesn't make sense?

Start adding infantry to an attack and there is a chance your armour will be penalised? 

Surely it should be the opposite? In fact surely it should be that tanks won't assault without infantry support in certain terrain or be heavily penalized if they do?
