In v. 3 I often would rush a hex that was in good order to throw someone back and take a hex. The defense has been greatly aided in v. 4 so firepower has to take effect prior to assault.
I rarely see the "softening up" working. The attackers usually get just as hammered while sitting in position firing on the defenders.
The assaults that usually work for the quickest me are the ones with combined arms and engineers. You roll up, fire a turn or two with the firepower the armor brings and then assault in. If you sit there waiting to disrupt and demoralize everyone the attacking infantry ends up getting demoralized and you have no one to fight with in the town.
What would be nice to see is some turn by turn replays.
