Noticed 'Hidden' Rule For Assaults

[vince hughes]

Vince,

I may have used this before, but in a different context. Let's say you have a AFV in a separate hex than the infantry stack. Move the infantry stack in first and see if you get a result, then send in the tanks in a separate activation to see if you can finish them off or at least position for a combined attack next turn.

Possibility are only up to your imagination...

Alan,

That is fine as they are seperate activations. The rule stands only when entering troops (or tanks or mixed bag) in the same activation. As I say, I'd never considered it before (like Matt), but saw the chance of 2 x 9 column attacks rather than 1 x 13 column against DEM troops likely to suffer compunded demoralisation.

Alas, the rules forbade my nefarious inclinations
